Limbmaker
Born during the later stages of the Age of Industry, the Limbmaker profession was one of creating Mechanical Limbs & Bodies. During the birth of the technology they were entirely mechanical, meaning that each limb had to be customized per client, and often times the Limbmakers were also the ones doing maintenance on them.
The profession became obsolete with the invention of Magitech, but even before that subtle advancement of Enchanting & Magical Item Crafting has kept slowly shifting this non-Mage profession into obscurity.
