Forgemaster

Members of this order, known as the Tier of Forges, are known as Forgemasters, and universally venerated within the Gleaming Valley. Entrusted with the greatest secrets of craftwork and blessed with divine inspiration by Corean, these human inhabitants of the valley toil with base elements to create items that can only be described as heavenly.

To be a Forgemaster is not to become a creator of magic. It means instead to understand truly the spirit of a weapon and the make of it the perfect expression of its creator's and its wielder's wills. The work of these dedicated few are not arcane contrivances of brimstone and starfire, but are instead simple and elegant pieces made with conviction, to used with conviction.

Most Forgemasters start as experts, being exceptional artisans long before they enter the Tire. A few are clerics of Corean or Hedrada, as the holy nature of thie class meshes well with their divine duties. Rare though they are outside of the Gleaming Valley, Forgemasters are occasionally found abroad. Most are apprenticed to other Forgemasters, referred to as Smith Exemlars, in Hedrad or Termana, and a few have even been known to join the ranks of adventures.
