Telgeir is a county in Esmaria created for, and still ruled by, the House of Vanbury. It is the centre of operations for the Vanbury Steel Guild and one of the major weapons and armour manufacturers in Cannor. The VG Musket (Model 3) drew particular fascination, though they were reserved for Telgeir's use.
When the House of Vanbury was banished from the Gawedi throne in the 1100s, many of the family returned to their ancestral traditions of smithing and armour-making. Eventually, they created the Vanbury Guild, which became one of the first standardized armour and weapon manufacturers in Cannor. The County of Telgeir (which means foundry in elven) was granted to Tristan of Vanbury in 1363 for his service in arming the imperial armies during the First Lilac War. While initially providing arms for knights and nobility, Tristan eventually gained contracts to mass-produce armour for the standard soldier, becoming part of the forefront of the change in warfare from peasant levies to professional men-at-arms.
