Introduction:
|
| |
The Artisans Guild was born in Parrius under the guidance of Procyon the Bringer of Light as a third loremaster guild to offset the polarizing of the Mercinaen Alchemists and the Thakrian Loremasters. The guild grew wealthy and thrived under Procyon's leadership and continued to prosper under subsequent guildmasters. Its most influential time though is here in the present under the tireless mastery of Catt the guild is wealthy, well-stocked, filled to overflowing with resources and most importantly in the modern climate, boasts an army to match most cities.

Words of Procyon, first guildmaster:
|
| |
The Artisans are neutral by default and retain only loose ties with their home city. The guild's strengths are good planning, firm resolve and gradual expansion of resources. Since its inception the Artisans have remained purposeful in their building work and the guild remains one of the most powerful, richest and most influential.

Isiltari, current guildmaster
says the following about the guild:
|
| |
Are you a great fighter waiting to be born? Do you desire great riches?
No matter your path, life with other loyal Artisans would make a perfect
home for you if being skilled in the art of creation appeals to you.
You will be sought after by your fellow citizens and allies to provide
powerful runes, embed items with magical properties, mix elixirs ranging
from vital health to potent poison as well as forge necessary armour and
weapons. Whether you choose to live your life in battle using your staves
and knowledge of runes and potions to your advantage against foes or become
a wealthy entrepreneur and use your skills to equip the great fighters of the
land, Artisans are one of the more mobile of the land and you will be equipped
with lorestave and lorerobe abilities for protection and attack. Many a fine
warrior have arisen from the ranks of the Artisans Guild and claimed a spot in
Avalon's history. Will you as well?

The Artisans Guild is tucked away in south central Mercinae. Head south a while from Cassiandora Square until you reach the junction of Royal Walk and Beggars Way. Go east from there onto Royal Walk proper and then follow the walk in a south/southeast/southwesterly direction as it wends its way down into the city. Eventually you will come to a junction where you head west into Sunset Way. Trace a route along Sunset Way walking west, west, northwest and finally west. The gated entranceway to the Artisans Guild will be to your north.
