The Old World: Grim and Perilous

Military Engineer
It was the Dwarfs who first introduced the science of engineering to the Old World.
Among them, the Engineers' Guild is deeply respected and its works are held in high
esteem, so long as it upholds traditional methods and values. Humanity took what
the Dwarfs had to offer and ran with it, especially in regards to gunpowder and other
devices suitable for use as weapons.
Engineers toil sleeplessly in their workshops to develop deadlier weapons, or to improve
existing ones. They also design and build mechanical devices or structures
such as bridges, canals, or fortifications.
