Locksmiths Guild

Overview

The Locksmiths Guild is responsible for making the locking mechanisms and keys for the portals, doors, chests and boxes throughout the culture.

Links to Equipment

Keys Article Many locks that are sold by locksmiths get altered by the locksmith to use unique keys. This non-standardisation has led to a wide variety of key components around the continent. However, some standardised keys and locks do remain - especially those used in official capacities. Characters have a chance of finding keys in their adventures.

The locksmith provides opportunities for the purchasing of customised locks, and padlocks.
