The Craftmasters
The Craftmasters are tied to their home city, Springdale, as are most of the Springdalian Guilds. Their outlook is much determined by their city though the guild leans towards a peaceful and neutral stance.

Introduction:
|
| |
The Craftmasters are the most recent addition to those guilds practising the loremaster profession. They were founded on Springdalian principles, sworn in under oath to the goddess of dreams. The Craftmasters remain a small guild but boasting a few very committed members - it would be a good guild choice for anybody keen to practice the relatively peaceful loremaster ways in an environment without pressure to fall into line with city or over-riding guild thinking.

Words of Occam, first guildmaster:

Bring honour and prosperity to the guild, to the city of Springdale from which the guild was born, and most of all, to Andromeda goddess of dreams under whose loving eye the city grew up from a mere village.

The guild of Craftmasters is the youngest organisation of the illustrious profession of Loremasters but like the beacon star in the sky it has acted as a guiding force for its home city of Springdale.
The skill with which we work our crafts are second to none and incorporate the knowledge of runes of silver, the forging of mighty weapons and armour, the brewing of magical elixirs, and the enchanting of items through the core skill of alchemy. Our young are shown the ways of the land so as to not only have the knowledge and means to sustain and defend themselves, but also those around them.
From its inception - the Craftmasters have been led by those whose names are infamous in the land: Tarkus and Warfarin to name those from distant days, and Fatalus and Rhapsody more recently, all proven to be the greatest achievers in the lands.
The guild is filled with other notable Avalonians, who have been involved with government and other positions of power -Prince or Princess, Heads of Ministry, loyalty to their City and Divine order have eluded few who seek it, but honor, loyalty and prestige all are to be had by those of the Craftmaster guild.
However, it must be noted, there are those Craftmasters who desire to be among the greatest warriors in the land, and for good reason. Our skills allow us to move more quickly through the lands, and the power of our strike is something to be revered.
Whether your inclination is that of pacifism, fighting, or a combination of the two, there is a place for you amongst us- for we are well aware that craftiness and power come in many forms.
