Most Careful Order of Skilled Smiths & Metalforgers

This guild represents the everyday blacksmiths who shoe horses and fashion such items as lamps, torch- and sign- brackets, gratings, and barred window frames, fire-shields and other hearthware, and chains. They also make simpler weapons, such as maces, hammers, and flails. The everyday pieces of metalwork, from needles and spikes to bootjacks, kitchen hooks, latches, and hinges, to candlesticks, are the “bread-and-butter” work of this guild, whose members are always busy and who prosper steadily. This guild provides its members with cheap, readily-available supplies of raw metals, brought by the shipload from Mirabar and elsewhere, and makes stocks, and inspects smithy tools for the convenience of its members, who may rent or buy such from the guild.

Most guild members are strong (Strength scores of 16 and up), have high Constitution scores (15 and up), and a high tolerance for heat and noise. For the unknowing, here is a point of etiquette: Never touch a smith’s tools except by his leave, and state your requirements as requests, not demands, or you’ll probably be told bluntly to take your business elsewhere. Members of this guild take pride in working quickly, in designing things with efficient elegance, and in reproducing replacements to exactly match an original.
