Artisans have spent long years mastering their art, studying under the best in the land. Their natural talent and excessive practice has in turn made them a master of their trade. Artisans cover a wide variety of skills, from sculpture to furniture making, brewing to weaving, and all points in between. Artisans are no run-of-the-mill craftspeople, they are the best at what they do for a very far distance. The work of artisans is always in demand by the well-to-do of the land. Lords and ladies have an endless need for the latest fashions, modern room decor, and boastful portraits for their foyers. The very best of all artisans may even meet with some amount of fame, as their craft is so in demand that simply having them as a guest at a ball will be enough to bump the host several ranks in the local standing.
