The Craftsmen are the architects (in literal and appeared sense) of the Order of the Reason.
Throughout the centuries they have reunited separated groups, creating lodges within the mortal community and using his divine mysteries to safeguard common people. In addition, they are humble. Instead of the cathedrals erected by the other Conventions, the Craftsmen prefer a simple chapel. One thinks that they would have to be very popular, even reverenciados, but in fact they must hide after the walls of the deceit. Its crimes? They made the first firing in the War of the Ascención and, which is worse, they dared to treat to the equal plebians like a, getting even to consider them superior to the nobility and the magicians.
The encounter that united to the Creators tended the foundations of the chapel of this Convention. These “Masones Craftsmen”, connoisseurs of sagrada geometry and the esoteric knowledge, understand the relations between the mathematics, the elements, the divinity and the human soul. Their Arts, canalized through the architecture and the invention, take advantage of Membranes and Springs, concentrating the magical power in the propitious places. Each placed stone and each erected wall are a ritual dedicated to the construction of something greater. Each creation becomes a symbol of a superior Unit.
A long time ago, the Calyx of Monte Ossa and the Collegium Praecepti created after the fall of Rome the unions that preserved the secrets of the alchemy, the architecture, the commerce and the transport. During the Dark Age, the pride and the jealousy divided to these groups in tens of fragments. The resulting sects “Masónicas” offered variations of geometry sagrada, but rare time with the shrewdness of the true divine guide. In order to preserve the Ars Praeclarus the teachers of different unions ignored great works, dedicating themselves in their place to the common man and God.
Slowly, these unions constructed their chapel with mortal architects and began to teach the old secrets. The ocacional war between the lodges undermined these works, but the alliances reinforced the walls. When Wolfgang von Reismann summoned Encuentro of the Seat, the chapel was transformed into a vestibule. When the Masones resulting Craftsmen declared the war to the Houses of Hermes, the vestibule became a castle.
A strength was necessary. While the gremiales teachers compiled their archives noticed a disquieting pattern: without aid, a normal person was catched in labertinto infinitely of mortal slavery and supernatural depradación. Hammer in hand, the Masones Craftsmen began to demolish this labyrinth, being done to circulate first books on their enemies and being later fomented the free commerce and the advanced work. When it was necessary those unions were supported by tubes, crossbows, Greek Fire and other “impossible” innovations. The greater blow, the Convention of the White Tower, shook labertinto so strongly that today it is even shaking.
A century later the Masones Craftsmen has become magical farmers. They have resigned to the luxuries of the rival wizards and only use what they need. Long centuries of cooperation have established a bond between the worldly workers and the Masones Illuminated Craftsmen. The result is a humble but powerful Convention that combines the esoteric doctrines and the hard work.
Nevertheless, now the castle is whipped by the storm. The Hermetic magicians have sworn revenge by Mistridge, the “rival Masónicas lodges” strike to the smaller opportunity, the disturbances farmers fomented by the Craftsmen have become purges, and until the High Union, a product of the activities of the Masones, makes fun of of the values of its founders. The dream has become a storm and the wind shakes its towers.
The Masones Craftsmen reverencian to the common man, while other groups consider a tool. This has caused a schism between the founders and their previous allies. Although still they are part of the Order, the architects have begun to retire. Still they maintain the unions that they at your service sustain of the Reason, but the Magistrates Craftsmen have begun to mine their own creation. Like Stephen Trevanus (the true Robin Hood), many of these magicians have organized secret societies and prohibited bands of. The Sacred Craftsmen have become treasonous between their own people. The castle shakes. How much will resist their walls?
Philosophy: “the witchcraft is sluggish and sinful. The good things come from the hard work. The failures are an invitation to the disaster. An imperfect building must again be demolished and be constructed.
When God did to the world I leave Its mark in him, a Great Project symbolized by an only red rose of 99 petals. Each one of them surrounds an only center that symbolizes the Unit, that represents the force. Like the rose, a perfect structure combines different elements in all unified. For that reason our philosophy mixes esoteric and symbolic aspects in a concrete work, a work that reflects the work of God.”
Some information assure that the Collegium Praecepti undermined Rome with the pretención to reconstruct it in its old glory. In the same way, the Craftsmen debilitate the rival magicians, the feudal society and the castle who helped to construct. When all that comes down they will raise it again.
Style and Tools: the magic is crafts. The spells are constructed, “are not invoked”. Almost all the works need powerful tools. A creation, the ViasÃlico, is the pinnacle of the Arts of the Masones Craftsmen. The main tools of the bricklayer (the level, the chisel, the square, the stairs, the hammer and the plummet) have a symbolic and ritual meaning, in addition to a practical use. The smaller instruments (pistols, tubes and the small crossbow that uses many Masones) represent their commitment with the force in case of necessity.
Organization: within their lodges the Masones Craftsmen recognizes 33 levels of accomplishment that come near to the normal ranks of the Dedalianos. In the Convention they operate nine unions: the Chalice (sanadores), the Currency (retailers), the Level (political reformers), the Sword (welded), the Cicuta (spies and assassins), the Chisel (architects and teachers), the Arrow (charities), the Stone (workers) and the Parchment (masterful and you write). There is one who assures that a mysterious one “I circulate of old” of astral magicians weathervane to the Maximi, but is impossible to demonstrate such histories.
Maximi: a succession of humble chosen workers annually by means of elections.
Initiation: many Sacred Craftsmen begin like mortal craftsmen who learn the greater secrets by means of the symbols used by the group. Meditating in a place of architectonic talent an initiate he receives visions of the Great Ideal, Waking up. Later he obtains to a patrocinador that puts under it a series of tests. If he surpasses them, a new Craftsman is united to the group. If no, usually he is conserved like a useful assistant.
Daemon: almost all the Craftsmen reject to their Daemon to consider them demonic illusions or temptations. Nevertheless, some mystics see the spirit of Hidden fantasmales or “Masterful” mentors who have extended the mortal form.
Affinities: Matter and Earth.
Followers: radical, trading workers, soldiers, clergymen, bandits, midwives, apotecarios.
Concepts: mentor, platonic visionary, reformer, gnóstico mystic, brain of a lodge, leader proscripto, Facilitador, architect, mystical biblotecario, artilleryman, hunter of monsters.
