Category:Yaralon Crafting Guilds

The Crafting Guilds of Yaralon are the premiere source of the finest equipment and trade crafts. Craftsmen of all types have a place within one of the four guilds, and the function as a collective of similar businesses that keep each other in check to maintain the highest quality products. These are not the only craftsmen in the city, simply the best that wish to join the guilds. Carrying the weight of the guild often means the business is hyper specialized and truly is the best in the business at that. For example, there is no single business within the Brawn Guild for handling all top tier armor smithing. Rather, there would be a business that specializes in just making the finest helmets, another for making gauntlets, so on and so forth. The four guilds split the entirety of craft trades.

In order to join an establish Crafting Guild business, one simply needs to petition with the owner of that particular business. However, if you have your own business and wish to join the Crafting Guild, you must meet one of two requirements. If you are crafting in a specialization that does not currently exist within the Guild's purview, you may petition the various guild members. Once you have four guild members to vouch for you, they will establish a competition for that specialization, spreading word throughout the city. Whoever wins the competition gets the honor of joining the guild.

The other method is to challenge the business that holds the guild spot you desire. If you're a gauntlet smith, you can challenge the current guild approved gauntlet smith for the position. However, this isn't simply a one on one competition, rather a head to head between the entirety of both businesses.
