Where the only standing is the quality of your craft, the guild is the place to find potion makers, and enchanters extraordinaire!

Unlike the other guilds, we are not based in one tent but are a motley collection as crafters flock to Haven creating an enclave of experimentation at the heart of the gathering.

Origins
The Crafters Guild started as a mercenary and mercantile band of adventurers travelling across the lands of Elandra. The group of creatives set out to make their legend across the lands, selling their wares to poor and rich alike, making items that range from downright dangerous, to the sometimes legendary. It is rumoured that members of the Crafters Guild are even responsible for the creation of some of the lost relics of Morvalis.
The exact members of the initial group is no longer known even to the individual involved. A mix of drink, the fading, and one too many experimental potions gone wrong has lost the exact origins to time, but as the group travelled they came across other creatives who chose to travel with the guild in order to expand their own creative masteries.
One of the earliest memories the group can recall are the travels through the lands of the Wonder. The group founded an expansive snail farm, which now grows the famous giant snails used in the Haven International Polo Tournament by teams within the Wonder. All seemed to be going well until the entered the forest of Ettamora, where even the guild’s mightiest enchantments were sorely tested against the denizens of the forest. Even in this dangerous corner of Elandra the group discovered strange allies when they came across Snori, a master caster and apparent only inhabitant of the forest. Snori who made some of the finest trinkets, felt it was time to see more of the world, and safely led the guild out of the forest, and on towards their next destination, the first appearance of Haven.
Structure and Leadership
The Crafters Guild is organised by seasoned Crafters who serve as Guildmasters. Each is an expert in their field, and any may be approached with questions about Alchemy or Enchanting. Leadership of the Guild is handled in an informal way, with each Guildmasters’ word carrying equal weight. The Guildmasters speak with one voice, so an answer from one is an answer from all.
The current Guildmasters are:
- Alexis Xiphos
- Amity-From-The-Ashes
- Art “By hammer and hand all arts do stand”
- Claddy
- Creature
- Gull
- Jorge
- Snori Strokehaver
- The Crew Father
- Will von Stirland
When in Haven these will be the primary contacts for the Crafters Guild. They are all NPCs played by the Menhirs Fate crew.
Guild members are here for the love of the craft, to hone their skills, and contribute to the good of Elandra with their creations. All guild members are equal; the only standing is the quality of their craft. Membership opens more opportunities for quests, rewards and extra guild services.
Operations and Influence
A newcomer to Haven, the Crafters Guild does not have the prestige or reach of some of the other guilds, but through past summits, the peoples of Haven petitioned for the guild to be formally recognised into the Pact. The Scholar lent their weight to the support shown to the Crafters Guild who are now building their influence within Haven to take their shot at a formal place among the Great Guilds.
Being a new crafter looking to lend your craft to the fight against Corruption is a reasonable backstory element. While it is possible for a character to have met members of the Guild on their travels, it is not reasonable for a character to be a famous member of the Guild, but you may be a famous independent crafter looking to make a name for yourself in Haven.
