Now that the modification tools for "Mount & Blade 2: Banner Road" have been released, let's get out the blacksmithing tools. This is because this beta does not include the full list of planned modding tools.

The kit can be downloaded from Steam's tool list, but you must first install and update the game. The kit gives you access to a scene editor with a variety of tools that allow you to modify terrain, import, export, place new objects, edit paths, and more. There are also a number of resource editors that allow you to edit everything from textures to character skeletons.

Here's a list of what's currently available:
