Xiphos Industries

Xiphos Industries is an Aldarnor-based guild focused on the mass production of Automatons. Its founders view themselves and this guild as the spiritual successor of Hoplon Industries, one of the ancient Grand Guilds that reigned during the Age of the Varn. The guild came to be when a group of adventurers called the Blackwasps discovered an ancient Hoplon Industries vault filled with schematics for Crucibles meant to produce automatons. The Kingdom of Aldarnor then funded the Blackwasps to form Xiphos Industries. The first automatons thus produced were used to shore up the local industry. It currently also sells automatons to other states and organizations. Xiphos Industries is a major pillar of Aldarnor's financial might.
