Weaponsmith's Guild

This guild has a monopoly on the design, manufacture, and sale of weapons, although unguilded peasants are commonly allowed to make bows, arrows, and crude weapons. Weaponcrafters are highly respected, especially by the nobility they principally serve.
A master weaponcrafter either owns a franchise in town or will be bonded to a noble household or an army in the field. Weapon prices are very high, partly due to the expertise required for their manufacture, but mostly because the nobility requires that prices be inflated to limit weapon distribution. Certain classes of weapon are also deemed “chivalric,” notably lances and battleswords. These may not be borne by persons who are not of noble birth.
