Serf 579 Share Posted December 21, 2021 =-< Yemekar’s Workforce >-= - The Working Guilds of Kal’Darakaan - “There is one group of hardworking dwarves that holds the entirety of the Dwarven Grand Kingdom upon their broad shoulders, a group of dwarves that truly know the meaning of “a hard day’s work.” They are the workforce of Yemekar’s Pick, they are those who dedicate their hands to the service of The Maker. Woodcutting, mining, and farming are not merely traded skills to be learned and then performed sluggishly from day to day in monotonous drudgery but they are skills to be cherished. The common worker is not lowly or insignificant in the grand scheme of the Grand Kingdom but they are what keeps the Grand Kingdom moving forward, for without supplies how would goods and profits be made? Most importantly, without farmers how would we produce ale?! This is why any dwarf should be honored to join the workforce of the Grand Kingdom, for they not only honor themselves but they honor their clan, the Grand Kingdom, and Yemekar himself.” ~ Thoak Goldhand, Yemekar's Pick of the Second Grand Kingdom of Urguan Prospectors of The Treasured Hoard The backbone of the dwarven workforce, the miners are what supply the Grand Kingdom with precious minerals for the crafting of objects of practicality, beauty, and strength. Even though there is no job that is greater than the rest in terms of its usefulness, mining is certainly one of the most dangerous and rewarding positions within the labor force. Whether it be collapsing tunnels, a nest of spiders, or a demanding quota, the miner’s job is never done. But with a good head on your shoulders and strict planning, you’ll come out of the mines with your beard still attached to your jaw, a hefty load of ore, and maybe even a bonus if you work exceptionally well. Current Lodemaster: Enryn Blackhammer (DixieDemolisher) Blacksmiths of The White Anvil The most treasured and sacred art of the khazadmar, passed down by the ancestors to their children. The life of a blacksmith begins at an early age under the apprenticeship and watchful eye of a master blacksmith. Only by taking and shaping the metals of the earth for several lifetimes could they gain the reputation of being the best throughout the lands. It is up to the blacksmiths of Urguan to maintain the prestige set by their ancestors by ensuring the Legion is equipped with only the best, and that the denizens far beyond clamor in envy at their crafts. Current Forgemaster: Ulfar Starbreaker (XxEnderking) Blacksmiths of The White Anvil Hierarchy: <Link> Artisans of The Gilded Hammer Not quite as renowned as blacksmiths, but equally impressive in both skill and artistry. Artisans are those who can shape almost any material they desire into an item of practicality. A blanket to cover a babe, a ring to fit the hands of an unsuspecting recipient, a tombstone to mark the burial grounds of the fallen. All are things that an artisan will eventually create as the cycle of life continues. So will the demand of an artisan ever be, and their importance within the workforce. Current Goldmaster: Kragdin Starbreaker (Prifter) Farmers & Herdsmen of The Sacred Hearth Although agriculture may not have the more clear and present dangers that mining does, it is no less crucial to the survival of the rest of the workforce and the Grand Kingdom. Without adequate food and ale, the loggers and miners would not be able to gather the materials used for building our stout stonework and masterwork tools. Meats, vegetables, bread, fish, and other baked goods are all necessities for a healthy dwarven diet, and let us not forget our most cherished drink, ale. These staples are what the farmers and herdsmen will gather, and therefore do not think of it as merely farming or butchering but fueling an entire Nation with food and drink.
