Forgers

The Forgers of Wagram are a guild of arcane crafters. They are the ones who turn Dulmis' Tears into artifacts of power.

History

The Forgers were among the first people to begin experimenting with Dulmis' Tears. Their founders Awakened through using the tears and we granted ability to Forge artifacts from them. Since then they have expanded their number by awakening promising craftsmen and teaching them to Forge artifacts.

Expansion

Tradorn

The Forgers have slowly grown in number while keeping a tight grip on their monopoly within Wagram. With the recent discovery of Tradorn, another Bastion City, they have begun making plans to expand their guild outside of Wagram.

The few artifact crafters within Tradorn are isolated "masters" with no strong organization behind them. The Forgers expect to meet only minor resistance.

Kovati

Kovati is an outpost built by the Forgers as proof of the effectiveness of their Shroud Beacons. It is the first permanent settlement built outside of a Bastion City to survive more than a few weeks.

Since it's creation less than a year ago the Forgers have been steadily moving their operations into this mountain outpost and out of the control of Wagram. Already most their Master Forgers live there full time and their Beacon production is now exclusively at the outpost.

Creations

While no artifact of power can be called commonplace there are those that fall into general categories that are common amongst artifacts.

These include various weapons that are imbued with power and material that is imbued with extreme durability.

These are things most crafters that have Awakened can achieve early in their development.

The items listed here are specifically advancements in arcane crafting achieved by the Forgers themselves.

Shroud Beacons

These arcane devices are able to create permanent pockets of protection from The Shroud outside of the Bastion Cities. The secret of their creation is known only to the Forgers.

Piercing Lens

Piercing Lens are crafted from the waste material of arcane crafting. While their use is now well known they were first discovered by the Forgers.
