The Artificer's Guild: Mundane Divinities

[Salmon]

Mundane Divinities

"Make the divine mundane, and the mundane divine"

Overview

The streets of Osrona are home to a wild variety of Guilds and Associations dedicated to craftsmanship, each with unique vision, purpose, and culture. Few of these operate on their own, instead falling under the League of Artificers, a bureaucratic department that provides funds and materials to officially recognized guilds. Despite the shared source of funding, disagreements and feuds between different guilds is an accepted and expected part of business.

It was years ago that such a disagreement drove one of Esshar's great minds to independence, cursing the guilds for their stagnancy and lack innovation that suited his tastes. Akylos Lasko was driven to founding his own Guild, to tackle Artificery in a way he thought it should be tackled; by grabbing it by the horns and pushing it beyond established boundaries. Accepting most anyone with an interest in the craft, Akylos cared not for birth or social status, figuring that competency was independent of those. This came with impossibly high standards for those who sought to climb higher however, judged solely by their innovations and devotion to their art. It is no coincidence that those at the top of the guild each sacrificed part of their body, replacing it with a prosthetic of their own make as proof of their unchallenged dedication.

Despite its loose requirements for membership and its harsh demands for those seeking to climb to renown, the League of Artificers approved a request for official backing. Strengthened by their recent acquisition of the Silverwall Mine, the guild has managed to secure a comfortable spot amidst the masses. In recent times, Akylos has taken a hands-off approach with the guild, preparing his granddaughter to take up the family mantle.

OOC Info

This is a guild based around artificery and alchemy roleplay. Our intent is to push past the mechanical system and instead use the crafts as a tool of development for characters, magic, and the world as a whole.

Joining can be done by contacting me on Discord at Salmon#587 or approaching Rhene Lasko in-game!
Open for any character with a mind for artificing, alchemy, medicine, or other non-mechanical arts.

Members receive, among other things, backing in finance and resources, as well as RP surrounding the more fun, non-mechanical aspects of artificery.
