Guildhall of the Carpenters
Towering over its neighbors like a wooden colossus, the Guildhall of the Carpenters spans an entire city block, its height and grandeur serving as a testament to the mastery of its residents.
Built entirely of wood, its ornamentally carved facade showcases the extraordinary skill of the city's finest carpenters.
Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a masterpiece of craftsmanship—each shutter, door, and trim a work of art in its own right, adorned with intricate carvings and decorative flourishes.
The ground floor serves as both a museum and a classroom, displaying:
- An extensive collection of woodworking tools and their uses.
- Detailed diagrams and schematics of famous projects.
- Exquisite samples of finished work, highlighting different wood types and construction styles.
Each interconnecting room is dedicated to a specific woodcrafting technique, allowing apprentices to learn by example as they walk through centuries of tradition.
The middle floor is a bustling social hub, much like the Architects' Guildhall , where members gather to discuss projects, contracts, and trade secrets.
The upper level, however, is unique—a working dormitory and classroom where up to twelve apprentices live and train. By day, they labor under master carpenters on active projects, and by night, they study and refine their craft, ensuring that the legacy of masterful carpentry in the Free City remains unbroken.
