​Purpose

   1.  In the lands of Elanthia -

     We will always be open to highly skilled crafters and will guide the young toward the ways of crafting through engaging teachers, projects, classes, gathering sessions and an extensive library of knowledge.

 

     We will demonstrate through our own unselfish acts the honorable ways of the Paladins, showing kindness, patience, and generosity to any in the lands while seeking out creative souls open enough to listen in hopes of bringing them into the Onoir and Guild of the Loom family.

​​

    2.  In House Daingneach Onoir -

     It is our responsibility to seek out both new and old crafting implements of all kinds, record the history, cultural background and use of these items to preserve this knowledge for posterity. We will work with the Guild of the Quill to accomplish this goal and create a specific section in the library.

 

     The Guild of the Loom offers crafting support to the Merchant Guild, creating items in response to their needs and requests. Participation by merchant shops is voluntary and collaborative, with the Loom acting in a supporting role. While the Merchant Guild itself should be mindful of anything that sells well and inform the Loom, as veteran crafters we should be able to anticipate common needs and propose projects to the Merchant Guild, while remaining responsive to their direct guidance and feedback.

​

     Should we be able to create or find weapons and armor that’s acceptable to our more militant orders, Azure Hydra and Silver Fist, it is our duty to make certain that these items are either kept for the future or given to the members that would most benefit from using them. Should these items not be usable they should then be kept as prizes, melted down for use in forging, given to worthy youngsters or sold.

​

​

Requirements

     You do not have to have a specific crafting skillset in order to join, but you must be willing to make an effort to pick at least one skill and demonstrate proficiency in it. This includes foraging and skinning as well as other material gathering. We absolutely welcome bard singing, chrism making from clerics, recharging services from wizards and consider these and more as part of our crafting skillset.

​

Restrictions

     We encourage all members to start the journey on the path to become a Paladin of House Daingneach Onoir but have no rank requirements that you must reach before joining us.
 

    Everyone is welcome regardless of social status, class, deity or culture but please be aware that many gathering areas are dangerous so take your training into account before venturing off alone!

​

​

Duties

     The Guild of the Loom exists to support, not supplant, the efforts of Onoir’s merchants, guilds, and orders through cooperation, communication, and service.

​

• Activities include hunts, crafting sessions, classes, recharge ‘parties’ and any other planned Loom activity that includes more than three people.

​

      Members must complete at least one crafting supply project to keep the Loom well stocked  every month. Anything created or gathered should be stored for the Loom or passed along to their respective Guilds/Orders for use, sale and distribution.  

​

• Gather a batch of herbs. (50 total)

• Gather a batch of gems. (20 gems of a type used for chrisms or crafting/enchanting)

• Grind herbs and gems needed for enchanting with a mortar and pestle. (10 total)

• Write a detailed guide on a crafting tool, new or old.

• This is not an exhaustive list but you may choose anything on this list as a monthly project.  Should you have any other crafting skill or idea not listed here please contact Guild of the Loom leadership for guidance on what we may need. We’re also open to OOC ideas!

 

     All members must follow the Honorable Codes and adhere to the Codes of Conduct found in the House Daingneach Onoir bylaws. 

​

     All members must follow the Gemstone IV Simutronics Terms of Service (ToS) and Rules of Conduct.

Ranks

Loominary 

      This is the main leadership role. Must be a full Paladin of Onoir.

 

Chamberlain 

     Handles finances for the Loom. Must be a full Paladin of Onoir

​

Enlighteners

      Teachers. Must hold at least 1 class per month.  You’re encouraged to partner up for all classes, form groups and delegate to each other properly with what you’ll need to accomplish the class. Must be a Squire or Master Squire in Onoir.

 

Sequencers

     Organization of stock inventories, scheduling events, classes, presentations (etc), works closely with Enlighteners, Reapers and Reeves. Must be a Page in Onoir.

Reaper

      These are our gatherers. Herbs, skins, gems or anything else that may be needed is collected and distributed or kept for future crafting. No rank requirement.

 

Reeve

      Any and all crafting falls to this group. No rank requirement.

 

Finances 

      Any gems, skins, reagents and useful crafting items found on our scheduled Loom hunts will be put aside for crafting purposes instead of sold in the gemshop or at the furrier so that we may more easily supply ourselves without silvers. This will be announced before any of our group hunts. When not needed these items will be sold as per usual. 

​

      The Guild of the Loom supplies Onoir subgroups, upon request or agreement, with the materials or items needed to use, sell or distribute thus creating a positive feedback loop of wealth and more evenly distributing the workload for the whole of Onoir.

​

     When appropriate, Loom-crafted items may also be distributed through personal player shops operated in support of Onoir, ensuring flexibility without placing obligations on Merchant Guild storefronts.
