Charter: RING OF IRON (subject to change as we know more about the crafting system of the game and gain more members)
The Ring of Iron is devotion to craft. Art and functionality created to make a whole. It is necessary to create and keep a network of knowledgeable craftsmen within the Keepers of the Ring. The Ring of Iron’s duty to seek and share knowledge of the crafted item, help with the finding and acquiring of raw materials, help with the transport and selling of finished products, the storage of raw and finished goods, but most of all the construction of immaculate crafts.
Hierarchy
The Ring of Iron must be a loose base of craftsmen all working to better themselves and the Keepers. Therefore only a loose hierarchy will be put in place. The Guardian of Iron may be known as the Quartermaster, and he/she will control the flow of goods between the Rings as people need them. Underneath may be an Assistant Quartermaster to assist as the Quartermaster needs. As the Ring expands there may be created Guilds devoted to specific crafts. A Weaponsmith Guild or a Jeweler’s Guild are examples of those that may be created as the Keepers of the Ring need.
Other Rings
