Forgers of armour, weapons, and makers of great machines
of war, the Armourers are also renowned for the great skill and finery
of their work. It is the Armourers Guild that equips and supplies the
fighting forces of the Heartlands. Only they hold the secrets of manufacturing
rare weapons and armour.
The Armourers also help to run combat tournaments for the people of each
faction at the Gathering. The Armourers Guild shares the responsibility
for providing much of the warrior training across the known lands with
the Militia.
"Thats not a dent! Thats precision engineering!"
- Cormac, recent Guild Leader of the Armourers.
The Guild of Armourers, embraces the traditions of combat
as well as its tools. The origins of the Guild date back to the year 67AF
when Joseph of Norhault founded the Toolcrafters Guild. It was he who
first began to standardise and catalogue much of the means of construction
in the Empire, and was the first outside of the Guild of Mages to be allowed
access to the ancient magical Artefacts that had been carefully recovered
after the Race Wars.
The Armourer's Guild recruits members from all over Erdreja.
The Guild will take on any hopeful Armoursmith and/or Weaponsmith and
train them in the craft. In keeping with the traditions of the past, the
Guild also teaches the craft of warfare to its members. This is not just
an exercise in swinging a sword but also adapting their skills to get
the best results in any martial confrontation. The philosophy of the Guild
is that to understand the weapons that they might make, they must also
be proficient in their use.
In 1100, the Guild recognised the independence of the affiliation of Archers
and Crossbowmen in their ranks. This allowed for the formation of the
Archers Guild, and freed the Master Smiths to concentrate further upon
the practice of weapon craft.
Since this time, the Guild has spent a great deal of time looking into
the production of siege weapons, and refining the art of melee weapon
production, as well as perfecting the craft of Armoursmithing.
The Armourers Guild is the ideal place to purchase incharacter an assortment
of master crafted and magical items. They also give you the chance to
learn thse skills to create these for your self using the Lorien Trust
Role Playing Occupational Skill Points System or OSP's.
