Blacksmith

The Blacksmith's talents are envied by most. He can create items using not only metal and stone, but also wood and leather. He is a master warrior thanks to his knowledge of weapon creation. Blacksmiths are one of the clan’s most valued subjects due to religious taboos around looting corpses. Many blacksmiths worship Dvergar, since their crafting skills are the envy of all. Some master blacksmiths have created artefacts that clans and kingdoms have gone to war over. They are not bound by their forges: once they surpass apprentice levels, they gain the ability to summon a forge beast to their side, allowing them to craft while travelling.

Creating items, ranging from the mundane to the magical, follows a simple set of rules. The process uses the skill system, and may be attempted by those with no ranks in the required skills. The two principal skills are: Craft and Infuse. Craft allows one to create mundane items of great quality, and infuse allows one to add magical properties to an already crafted item.

Exemplar

The Exemplar Blacksmith enjoys time in the forge, but enjoys testing and showing off their creations even more. The exemplar judges his creations on the battlefield against items created by other smiths. He pushes himself to ever higher standards and ideals.

Artificer

The Artificer Blacksmith enjoys nothing more than spending as much time and effort in the forge. The focus of an artificer’s efforts are to create the most awe inspiring items, far surpassing anything shop owners may be peddling.

Alchemist

The Alchemist Blacksmith is one who explores the esoteric pleasures of imbuing items with magical properties. These items are sought after as they expand and greatly increase the power of the wielder.
