History
The Smiths are thought to have been founded at some point during the 1st Era by a group of rich worshippers of Frio. The first recorded instance of the guild is in 98 AC when its first Great Smith Sana Carfina married Lord Agusto of Trima. They are also mentioned in the book
Cults of Everstone by Drechae Besril.
Second Era
During the second era, the Smiths of Frio was a very low key organization, they did their services and prayed to Frio but
Third Era
When the Dragon Empire was founded and the earth dragons moved to Elmawood, many of their riders joined the hunters as they also worshipped Oria. Not much is known about the activity of the Hunter's of Oria during the third era. The next recorded instance of them appearing is their refusal to join in the Great Rebellion and instead helping the riders and dragons.
Fourth Era
After the dragons fell the hunters joined the rest of the province in the Elven Rebellion. Yusi Onip, the leader at the time, signed off on the Elven Alliance and was one of the first members of the Elven Court. From this moment and up till now the hunters have stayed mostly to themselves, the only change has been an expansion of the Peritian Reserve and the naming of Kise Resul as the Master Warrior.
