Both the tradeskills of Weaponsmithing and Armoursmithing are forms of Forging and work substantially the same, except, of course, that weapons are made in one and armour in the other.The Forging tradeskills (Weaponsmithing and Armoursmithing) allow you to create weapons or armour out of commodities such as steel, iron, obsidian, leather, and so on. In the skills of Weaponsmithing and Armoursmithing you'll gain the ability to forge different kinds of weapons and armour.

In order to let you customize the appearance of these, you can select up to two adjectives called 'descriptors' from a list you can access via FORGING LIST. Descriptors are words like sharp, radiant, magenta, gigantic, and so on. Descriptors are assigned to a Smithing Rank, from Apprentice Blacksmith up to Master Blacksmith, with more advanced descriptors costing substantially more to use. These correspond to Smithing Ranks, and you must be of at least that Smithing Rank in order to use descriptors of that rank.
== The Vashnarian Shield ==


Descriptors also may have category-based restrictions on them, such as only usable on edged weapons or soft armour. As you forge items with descriptors, you gain a chance of producing an item with that descriptor more cheaply than otherwise, and eventually with enough mastery over that descriptor, you gain a chance to add an additional 1-3 stat points to that item.
Charged with the safety and preservation of Cyrene, the Vashnarian Shield is a
fellowship of warriors who, like the stalwart mountains that surround Cyrene,
are unwavering in their dedication and unyielding in their defense of the city.
Foremost in the mind of a member is ever the security of the city and those who
are sheltered by her walls. They are bound by duty to defend against any threat
to Cyrene, and are often the first to rush to the aid of their fellow citizens
at the first sign of danger.


The skill of '''Armoursmithing''' is a trade skill and available to all adventurers.
To ensure their readiness to meet this charge, members of the Shield
continually push themselves to improve their skills in combat, working both in
and out of the arena to test their mettle. Additionally, they take upon
themselves the responsibility of ensuring all Cyrenians are capable of rallying
to the city's defense. By training their peers in combat and furthering their
martial education, they raise the city as a whole to a higher level of
preparedness against those who would threaten their way of life.


== How to Forge ==
= Founding =
# Find a forge. You can find these in many places around Achaea. Cities have them, Houses often have them, Temples often have them, and so on.
The Shield was founded in [[Valnuary]], 657 AF.
# Make sure you have the required commodities for what you'll forge.
#* You'll discover this by doing FORGINGCOMMS [descriptor1] [descriptor2] <thing-to-forge, like longsword>
#* Note that while the cost for a weapon or piece of armour with low-level descriptors is relatively small, the cost for high-level descriptors is very high. The fancier you want your armour or weapons to be, the costlier it will be.
# FORGING LIST will tell you what descriptors you have access to.
# FORGING SHOW <descriptor> will show you the base cost for that descriptor and other info where relevant. Note that the cost to use that descriptor on an item is multiplied by the size of the item.
#* Item size for a type of item may be seen with FORGINGCOMMS <thing>.
# You'll now FORGE FOR [descriptor1] [descriptor2] <weapon/armour>. The descriptors are both optional.
# You will then go about forging the item. If you do most other actions or are interrupted too much, your forging will also be interrupted and you'll have to start over, though your comms will not have been used up.
# Your item is now done!


==Mastering Descriptors==
=Political History=
Every time you forge an item with a particular descriptor, you increase the chance that the next time you forge an item with that descriptor, it'll be cheaper and eventually, you start getting chances for your item to have extra stat points added onto it. For weapons this ranges from 1-3 and for armour this ranges from 1-2.
The Vashnarian Shield was founded by Kaden Vas'amaen-Ashaela alongside Triumvirs Lilian Xanatov-Nomathi and Friztic Xanatov. The House is governed by a [[triumvirate (government)|triumvirate]] system.


All the various types of items you can forge have a size, with that size helping to determine how many comms an item will cost to forge (along with the descriptors used). Whenever you forge an item with a descriptor, let's say "radiant". The first time you forge it, you have 0 points in "radiant". After forging one item of size 6 with the radiant descriptor, you'd have 6 points in "radiant".
==Patrons==
:657 AF - Lord Scarlatti became the first [[Patron]] of the Vashnarian Shield
:684 AF - Lady Lorielan replaces Lord Scarlatti as [[Patron]] of the Vashnarian Shield
:735 AF - Lord Aegis replaces Lady Lorielan as [[Patron]] of the Vashnarian Shield


Each time you forge an item with 'radiant' going forward you'll have a chance equal to (points/6), with a max of 50%, of having the item cost you in comms as if it was one size less. In this case, that's only a 1% chance, but as you forge further items with radiant that chance will increase, until you get to 300 points and hit the effective max.
==Leadership - Shield Commanders ==
:658 AF - Kaden Vas'amaen-Ashaela
:678 AF - Kenway Straidhan
:702 AF - Kandra Dawyn
:732 AF - Draqoom Van Helsing
:749 AF - Torben Crescent
:751 AF - Bronislav Zviera
:768 AF - Shirszae Nynniaw
:800 AF - Keorin
:858 AF - Janella
:867 AF - Emiya Kindfire
:871 AF - Liena Warrick
:882 AF - Pani Kindfire
:883 AF - Arthmael Vorondil
:892 AF - Ereia Evenstar
:894 AF - Esti Rian-Moonshadow
:914 AF - Sir Brandilar Weltsdown
:??? AF - Emiya Kindfire
:??? AF - Kog Terias


Once you get to 300 points in a descriptor you're considered 'Expert' in it, and may begin working towards 'Master' in that descriptor, which requires an additional 300 points for a max of 600 points.
==Leadership - Shieldlords ==
:657 AF - Lilian and Friztic
:665 AF - Kerria replaced Friztic
:666 AF - Aerek replaced Lilian
:676 AF - Kenway replaced Kerria
:678 AF - Kandra replaced Kaden
:709 AF - Hosko replaced Kenway
:711 AF - Dochitha replaced Aerek
:719 AF - Draqoom replaced Dochitha
:733 AF - Bronislav replaced Kandra
:733 AF - Daklore replaced Hosko
:741 AF - Keorin replaced Daklore
:745 AF - Torben replaced Bronislav
:751 AF - Draqoom resigns as Shieldlord
:751 AF - Bronislav elected as Shieldlord
:758 AF - Shirszae replaced Torben
:761 AF - Draqoom replaced Keorin
:768 AF - Roselyn replaced Draqoom
:768 AF - Bronislav resigns as Shieldlord
:769 AF - Vika replaced Bronislav
:775 AF - Keorin replaced Roselyn
:784 AF - Vika resigns as Shieldlord
:784 AF - Kaden elected as Shieldlord
:800 AF - Keorin replaced Shirszae
:858 AF - Janella replaced Keorin
:858 AF - Emiya elected as Shieldlord
:858 AF - Pani elected as Shieldlord
:867 AF - Liena replaced Janella
:882 AF - Arthmael replaced Liena
:883 AF - Ereia replaced Emiya
:885 AF - Kraxu replaced Pani
:892 AF - Esti replaced Kraxu
:893 AF - Raemond replaced Arthmael
:895 AF - Krumm replaced Ereia
:898 AF - Troyian replaced Krumm
:914 AF - Emiya replaced Raemond


After you have some Master points in a descriptor you start having a chance to get an extra stat point on that item. If you have two descriptors that you're already Expert in and working towards Master on, you have a chance for up to three extra stat points, which are randomly assigned except for the fact that all three will never end up on the same stat. It works as such:
=Icon History=
* Each descriptor gives you a chance of ((points-300)/6) to get an extra stat point.
No House [[Icon]] has ever been raised for this House.
* If both descriptors give your item an extra stat point AND you are a Grandmaster Blacksmith, there's a 50% chance for a third point. If you're a Legendary instead of Grandmaster Blacksmith the chance goes up to 75%.


==Grandmaster and Legendary Ranks==
=Inhabitants=
These advanced ranks are not achieved in the same way as the other ranks, however. You must be a Master Blacksmith in order to attain these two ranks PLUS:


* For Grandmaster, you acquire 60 Grandmaster points. These are gotten through mastering descriptors (see below). For every descriptor mastered, you'll get the following Grandmaster points:
[[Category:Houses]]
** Rank 1 Descriptor = 0 points
** Rank 2 Descriptor = 1 points
** Rank 3 Descriptor = 2 points
** Rank 4 Descriptor = 6 points
** Rank 5 Descriptor = 20 points
** Rank 6 Descriptor = 30 points
* For Legendary Blacksmith, you must achieve 200 Grandmaster points.
* As a Grandmaster Blacksmith, your chances of getting stat bonuses due to Mastered descriptors are 65% per descriptor instead of 50% AND when you get two additional stat points you have a 50% chance of a third.
* As a Legendary Blacksmith, your chances of getting an additional stat point when both your descriptors produce one is up to 75%. Plus, ALL descriptors are treated as Mastered for the purpose of the extra stat point calculation (but not regarding the chance of producing an item that costs as if it was one size smaller).
