One of the most powerful guilds in the city, they control the Goldsmiths’, Silversmiths’, Tinsmiths’, Coppersmiths’ and Weaponsmiths’ guilds and have recenty started laying claims to the ingenuity and innovation of various independent inventors and engineers of the Subs and Goblintown districts.
The Metalworker's & Steamfitters Guild is a powerful group, effectively controlling all the other metalworking guilds (goldsmiths, silversmiths, tinsmiths, and so on) with its money and influence. It is, and always has been, a casual group that disdains formal airs or pretensions. Thus, the main room of its guildhouse is a wide-open chamber filled with tables and chairs. At any given time of day, people sit here, drinking coffee and tea in the morning and ale and beer later in the afternoon or evening, discussing the affairs of the day. It’s an excellent place to come for information on virtually any topic pertaining to the city, but nonguild members are unwelcome unless they have a guilder along to vouch for them (and even then, they are watched closely).
