Greetings Sapience,


The Master Crafter Awards program is one that reaches to all corners of
the realm. The Order of the Smith works diligently to spread the word of
Industry, a facet of the realms that is not caged by race, organisation
or alignment.

The crafters are nominated by their peers and their work is judged by
the council of the Forge and also by Lord Phaestus. It is indeed an
honour to be nominated and those who are renown for their craft and
who's ability shines throughout the realms as a beacon of Industry and
superior crafting, are awarding with gold and silver.

The silver recognizes the master crafter who is has just obtained
mastery, who is known but not completely recognized or reknown. The
crafter who has found brilliance but not yet total control and promotion
of their crafts.

The gold is only granted to the greatest Masters of the crafts. Those
whose name rolls off of the tongues of most people when you ask who is
good at a certain craft. They spend their lives dedicated to their work
and strive to ensure that the world is made better by what they do.
Generally they are great promoters of their brand and always interested
in improving both their craft and their marketing.

This year a number of fine crafters will join the ranks of those who
proudly call themselves the Master Crafters.

In the Industry of Forging-

The Gold award goes to - Faur

In the Industry of Jewellery Craft-

The Silver award goes to - Alcreadia

The Gold award goes to - Requa

In the Industry of Tailoring-

The Silver award goes to - Lisbethae

The Gold award goes to - Amunet

Finally we would like to recognise another crafter, one who has been
recognised before and who we feel should walk proudly with the colour of
gold attributed to their name.

The Council of the Forge would like to raise the status of Tekla to that
of a Golden Crafter for Tailoring.

These Crafters join many others including Elstan, Liliana, Trey, Katia,
Logistics, Anarwaen and Lavinia who proudly wear their silver and gold
status.

I am sure you will all join me in congratulating the winners.

I am sure your talents will continue to shine and you will continue to
not only improve the realms with your items but pass on your knowledge
to the next generation.

In Service,
Lavinia Sioraiocht-Xanatov
