Construction Guild

The construction guild of Riverguard is an association of excavators, builders, lumberers, stonecutters, and artisans, based out of Warptown, dedicated to the restoration and expansion of the city. The group almost entirely consists of dwarven warpers, though there are a few human, gnomish, and dragonborn members. Dwarves, with their natural need for order and productivity, make up all of the guild's leaders and planners.

Originally founded by the dwarf fighter Terry Honorsworn, the Construction guild was the first organization to be formed by the warpers of Riverguard, predating even the Warptown Guard and the position of Lord Mayor. When it was first formed, it served as a sort of provisional government, with Honorsworn at its head. After the Battle of Four and One Thousand, however, the guild receded in influence, with the four Battlemasters each gaining more admiration than Honorsworn, and forming their own groups, all of which would then convene to iron out the current democratic government of Warptown.

The guild is responsible for the almost-complete restoration of the buildings of warptown. Either because the original ancient architecture cannot be duplicated, or because the guild simply doesn't care to, most of the buildings the guild has worked have had their styles changed to distinctly dwarven designs. There are a few exceptions, such as the Lodestar Inn, but the members seem to prefer to work in the style they are most comfortable with. Few complain about about these "updates," finding dwarven craftmanship more familiar and thus comforting than the unsettling and unknown styles original to the city.

The guild has many other projects in their sights besides the restoration of Warptown. They work to slow the growth of the Fishbowl by building levies at the mouth of the deepwater, they have interest in accessing the Keep to create a second livable raised district, and they even take the occational job in Lower City, provided their safty is guarenteed.

The Construction Guild plans and prioritizes its own projects, and will cut deals with those looking to have their concerns addressed as quickly as possible.

## Guild Hall

The Construction Guild’s main hall in Warptown is a building of incredible beauty. Though not as large as the hall of the Historical Society, what it lacks in size it makes up for in breathtaking intricacy. The entire front of the building is taken up by unnecessarily large bronze-bound oaken double doors. The bindings are etched with decorative runes, and the wood itself has been oiled and polished to the point of reflection. The rest of the facade is white stone adorned with a pattern of 3ft long relief sculptures of noble-looking dwarven faces. The wall has a slight curve to it, so it seems as if the faces are staring at anyone standing at the base of the buildings’ stoop.

Inside, the building is still impressive, but much less imposing. Dark colors and hanging chandeliers make the ceiling feel much lower than its actual 25 feet. There are a few closed off rooms to either side of the entry, but the brunt of the place is taken up by the sunken main hall. There are long tables with benches ordered in the center, with huge brass vases at the far edge of each one, likely to be filled with ale at guild meetings. The far wall has a stone podium centered under a huge relief depicting hundreds of dwarves carving a city into a mountain.

## Assignments

The construction guild doesn’t allow adventures into their ranks, only skilled craftsman, or laborers hoping to apprentice under one. However, they do often have the need for hearty men and women to defend their members while works are in-progress, and to clear out places they intend to build in of monsters and bandits. The guild has big plans for the Fishbowl, but only the highest ranking members know what those plans are.
