[0367 A.B.]

The Order of the Silver Serpent creates an unprecedented demand for armor, weapons, and ships to be supplied. Industry within Britain also begins to require more machine parts and equipment. Minoc, the city of artisans, engineers, and tinkers begins to increase their production capacity to create these goods. Over the course of the next several years, this emphasis on mass-production takes precedence over more artistic pursuits. Several members of the now largely abandoned Artisan's Guild and some local tinkerers decide to move to Vesper. Amidst the sleepy mining operations and frontier sands, a new Artisan's Guild is created. Tinkerers labor far into the night producing strange contraptions. The works of the artisans become the talk of Britain and shown in exhibitions.
