A Crusaders guide: Crafting

It is not hard to learn the ways of crafting, but it is rather enjoyable. The hours upon hours of sitting and working the metals within your hands. Creating a new piece of armor is almost like creating a new life. Though, many are going to wish to stop this process for it does make you walk like a fortress that cannot be touched. The most important part of all the crafting though: starstones. Locating and collecting them is the longest process in building your armors or weapons. Although, the weapons and armor are two complete different skill sets, we shall divulge into both.

Armor:

There are many branches of learning how to create armor. Do you wish buckles, joints or barbs? Do you need it to protect your mind, or do you need it to aide in precision? All of these are questions you must ask before committing to the enhancement, because there is no deconstruction beyond destroying the item after that. If you choose unwisely it shall be even more time before you are able to gather it once again.

Myself, I hold almost all my wares of creation myself. Years upon years of dedication to creating them, while Ihreraeh holds multiple sets of created wares herself. It does require a set time of patience and perseverance to create them..

Weapons:

Again, many different choices. Were you once a berserker, or warrior? Or what of the famed halls of the Paladin? Do you wish to sunder armors apart, or do you wish to take heads from shoulders like a bounty hunter? All paths that are easily obtained within the Order, but also paths that you must once again choose wisely before seeking them out. I know myself, being a master armorcrafter, can aim at the small holes of armors and exploit them. Lady Ihreraeh not so much. Dame Sorsha was much liked Lady Ihreraeh in those regards as well.

Of course, there are multiple sets of weaponry to make and create. Do you wish for blades as tall and heavy as gaints? Or do you wish for a staff made of starstones? Any of the above are available and only need sought out. With these two discussion being said, there are multiple paths to take and multiple choices to make. If you seek out the Order of the Crusades, Lady Ihreraeh and myself are able to teach further into them.

Many speculations must remain about the Order, for our scrolls are not privy to the eyes of many. But know, with each choice there is a greatness amongst them.
