Overview

The Masters of the Bleeding Edge is a guild dedicated to the art of sword-making.

Swords are meant to serve as an extension of its wielder in both form and function. As such, the Bleeding Edge takes immense pride in crafting a masterwork suited to the specific needs and qualities of the client. As such, the Bleeding Edge only hires proven Master Blacksmiths. Especially those blacksmiths who are dedicate their lives to the sword-making craft. Furthermore, the Bleeding Edge ensures they only procure the best equipment suited to carrying out their visions. Perhaps it is no surprise that requesting the custom services of this guild requires a hefty up-front payment.

The Bleeding Edge can only be found in the most powerful capital cities on the continent. Only those cities have the necessary resources and connections to maintain the quality of the business as well as the quality of the client. The high-ranking and renowned are the typical clients of the Bleeding Edge with a few special exceptions.

Repair Work

The Bleeding Edge does offer to repair one's sword, for a fee suitable to the task requested. Some have known their swords to improve in quality after trusting it to the work of the Bleeding Edge Master Blacksmith.

It is one thing to have the best sword ever made. It is another thing to know how to use it competently.

Note(s) from the Archivists:

I have a sword made by this very guild. Not once has it failed me in my most trying times. It was money well spent! - Archivist Taenya Naïlo 
It sounds like this guild is rather full of itself. - Archivist Savitri
They would prefer the term "duly prideful." - Archivist Taenya
