Forge Orders

Currently, there are two major Forge Orders: the Order of the Bright Forge and the Order of the First Forge. They are technically the same order, but operate very independently.

Originally, there was only the Order of the First Forge, but when the original creator of Excalibur and sole Forge Master, Forge Master Wayland, died, he bequeathed Crucible and the First Forge to one of his two squires, Wymon. The second squire, Mawt, though it chafed him, was forced to work under Wymon’s domineering design direction, and began constructing his own capital ship to work independently.

When Mawt’s capital ship, Invento, was completed, he left Crucible with the creative engineers who wanted to join him, creating a splinter group of the same knightly Order. Mawt’s founding of the Order of the Bright Forge caused trouble as resources became harder to get as confusion reigned for a few years while each group fought to gain a steady supply of resources.
