The Future of the Smiths

[Aengoth 2890]

*A notice is posted in Kal'Akash*

It has been some time since I've last made a statement regarding my plans with the smiths who do choose to work for the Nation and not as independent contractors. Keep in mind this announcement is for the immediate future throughout the remainder of this war and may change in the future depending on the state of our people. Being a Blacksmith as a whole is a very independent trade with limited interaction with others of the same craft unless it is in some form of training or managerial task which are few and far between. For this reason I will not be pursuing to renew the independent blacksmithing guild. Any and all blacksmiths who seek work within the kingdom may find the Legion most fitting. The Smiths will do their duty to put the nation ahead of themselves and work for the Legion to better provide them armor and also serve within the Legion. Any Smiths who are not part of the Legion are outside of my jurisdiction and may negotiate work on there own behalf. The Legion Smiths will not be spending time in establishing a independent guild hall due to the redundancy of such a establishment. If they got far enough to be useful to the Legion then I am sure that they will still be able to provide for the Legion without the need of a communal area that will only gather dust. 

Additional Notes:

-As Forgemaster I have no affiliation or control over any groups related to the craft of Golem creation or Runesmithing until later discussed. Groups dealing in such matters are not under the jurisdiction of the Forgemaster.

-Blacksmiths who sign up with the Legion are expected to contact the Forgemaster directly to find a task for them to do within the Legion.

Signed, 

  Forgemaster Aengoth
