The Forgebound Brotherhood

Purpose: The Brotherhood ensures that its artisans are not exploited for their crafts and that materials are readily available or at the very least, tools to obtain their materials

Influence: Anyone who wants a good set of armor, a weapon, an automaton, or just a basket must go through the Brotherhood

Leadership: There is no leadership, just status. Those who have mastered their craft are respected by their fellow siblings, but not one person leads others.

Membership: Anyone can enter the brotherhood as an apprentice as long as they have a teacher and pay dues. Those who teach do not pay dues and gain respect the more they teach.

Titles and Recognition: members start out as apprenticeship in their craft and must create a "master piece" to end their apprenticeship. Their master piece is sent to the Forgebound Maw to fuel the immortal forge to inspire better works. New siblings are given opportunities throughout the Layer to come and be artisans for the Forge.



Internal Conflict and Politics: With there being no leaders, the only thing resembling parties or groups are just different trades. But it is uncouth to disparage other crafts only based on the nature of the craft. When it comes to internal conflicts, there is a big faction of siblings who claim flesh is weak and aim to replace every part of their body with something resembling their craft.
