Artificer Guild

What is the Artificer Guild

The Artificer Guild is designed to be the stewards of crafting and making within Belegarth. We focus on developing skill to the highest degree, as well as teaching others what we have learned.

The Goal of the Artificer Guild Is...

The mission of the Artificer Guild is to promote excellence in the arts and sciences within the Belegarth community. It accomplishes this mission by:

Creating a community of artists and makers who support one another and share ideas.
Developing and maintaining a consistent, standardized, and formal recognition process for accomplishments in the arts and sciences.
Establishing a mentoring system for developing individual skills and abilities.
Building and maintaining a reference archive for the community.
Inspiring members and providing them the necessary skills to effectively share their knowledge and experience with the community.

Guild Membership

How to Join

Any member of BCMS may join the Artificer Guild. There is no skill minimum required. This is a community for learning, and we love to teach new people.

Years in Belegarth
Any notable projects you're proud of
Your reason for joining and what you want to learn

Feel free to include pictures of your latest projects!!

2) Edit the member table below to include your fighting name, realm, and focus. You may request someone do this on your behalf if necessary.

3) Create a belt flag with the artificer guild symbol.

Peerage within the Guild

Becoming a Vassal

A vassal is a guild member that has chosen to study a skill under the mentorship of a Guild Master, Mentor, or Journeyman. This can be an optional trial period before becoming an apprentice.

Those wishing to become Guild Vassals should contact their local Guild Mentors, Journeymen, or Guild Council.

Becoming an Apprentice

An apprentice is a guild member who has chosen to begin the process towards Masterhood and have selected a skill that they would like to develop. They work with a Guild Master or Mentor to further their knowledge of their craft, practice, and set goals for their growth. This process cumulates with a portfolio that is presented to the Artificer Guild Council.

Those who wish to become Guild Apprentices can talk with Masters and Mentors to find someone they would mutually like to work with, or fill out the following form.

Becoming a Journeyman

A journeyman is the step between apprentice and master. They have shown great aptitude and growth within their discipline of choice, and are seen as a knowledgeable resource in their community. The goals of the journeyman process are to grow additional skills outside your area of focus, and gain experience in the service aspects of the Artificer Guild, such as teaching classes.

Requirements for becoming a Guild Journeyman

To Be Considered for Journeyman Status Now

Many individuals in Belegarth are already skilled at their chosen discipline for various reasons, such as coming from another LARP. In recognition of this the Artificer Guild welcomes you to submit a portfolio detailing your work, records of any tutorials/classes/community service you have been a part of, as well as a letter of introduction to be considered for immediate Journeyman status.

Journeyman Portfolios can be submitted to the following email address: belegarth.artificer.guild@gmail.com
