Meet the Maker (5th, 8th, or 11th-Level)
The large city of Akaton is home to two prestigious megaguilds of artisans. The Ralora Gallery has existed since the founding of the city many hundreds of years ago. They believe in the sanctity of art and feature their timeless masterpieces in a prestigious gallery. The Modern Artisans Association, in contrast, was only founded sixty years ago and caters to a less elite crowd. They become more and more popular each year as people of all means attend their Celebration of Makers, a yearly festival featuring the works of their artisans in interactive and exciting ways. There is a strong rivalry between the two guilds. Over the years, many of the member guilds of the Modern Artisans Association have been attacked and destroyed (possibly including the artisan characters’ own), but although the Ralora Gallery was suspected in each case, it was never proven guilty.
