Crafting In A Desert

Working in a desert environment like Igen can present its challenges and opportunities - and certain crafts find it more hospitable than others. The energy (competition, hazing, thievery…) produced by proximity to the Bazaar can also be a bit daunting for newly arrived Apprentices expecting more structure and respectability.

What To Remember When Playing A Crafter!

  • Stamps still have meaning. Despite the competition inherent in having the Bazaar and all of its exotic goods so close nearby, Craft-stamped goods have managed to retain their value. They still manage to sell at a higher price than strictly Bazaar-goods, even the ones that are bargained to be sold out of the same stall to show approval.
  • Selling your trade outside of Craft-approved locations is punishable. Besides competition, the Bazaar can provide other temptations. However, it still remains true that selling your Craft-quality goods outside of a Craft location - meaning it hasn't been sanctioned by the posted Maser - can be punishable by demotion and even exile from the Hall. Doesn't mean people don't do it! But just remember to be covert, or it could come back around to ICC.

Vintners

Notable Igen Flavor: Igen likes their booze, and there is always room for a solid vintner. Journeyman Eollyn has established Corks and Works in the Bazaar, and previously Mayte was snatched from their ranks to ride for the Weyr - and then later transferred. The Weyrvintner is Sietros.

Weavers

Notable Igen Flavor: Weaving in Igen can sometimes take on a different, almost ignored, feel - thanks to the Bazaar and its own cultural and fashionable wares. Weyrweaver Jiarema doesn't necessarily push for much more than Weyr garment repair. Currently, tapestry specialist Merid has been delayed at the Weyr due to an injury. Somehow, this has been blamed on the Weyr, despite that it apparently occurred at the time of the Crafter Convention. Ceris celebrated a recent promotion to Jr. Journeyman. Apprentice Paloma and Jr. Journeyman Esmenet are also new arrivals.
