The Vanbury Guild is a steelworks guild founded by [[Ricard of Vanbury]] specializing in mass-production of weaponry and plating. The House of [[House of Vanbury|Vanbury]] directly controls the Vanbury Guild with family members controlling foundries across [[Cannor]] and [[Aelantir]].

==History==
The House of [[House of Vanbury|Vanbury]] built their first major foundry in [[Steelhyl]] as they were granted the province after the [[War of the Sorcerer-King]] in order to stabilized the metal trade in the newly decentralized [[Escann]]. With Steelhyl and their land in [[Vanbury,|Vanbury]], the family soon became known for their metalworking skills across Cannor. After exile from Gawed in 1170 due to the [[Greatwood Uprising]], the family became split between [[Steelhyl]] and [[Kingdom of Lorent|Lorent]], eventually reuniting to found the Vanbury Guild. The Vanbury Guild later expanded in 1363 with Lorent granting them the County of [[County of Telgeir|Telgeir]], meaning "Foundry" in [[Elven Language|Elven]], to [[Tristan I of Vanbury]] after his efforts in the [[Lilac Wars]]. 

With the Vanbury Guild prospering, the [[House of Vanbury|Vanbury]] family expanded with the establishment of foundries across Cannor in the cities of [[Anbenncóst]] and [[Free City of Damescrown|Damescrown]] in later years. Beyond [[Cannor]], the Vanbury Guild established an [[Aelantir]] Chapter in 1517 on the island of [[Vanburia]] due to rumors of [[Precursor Empire|Precursor]] artifacts in the region. The steel forged from these artifacts allowed the Vanbury Guild to assemble powerful muskets beyond the quality of their foundries in [[Cannor]].

The [[Vanbury School of Metallurgy]] was established in [[Anbenncóst]] in 1611 to provide the exchange of techniques and ideas across [[Cannor]] to further the influence of the Vanbury Guild over all steelworks industries. By the 1700s, the VG Musket became the standard and had widespread popularity around the world from [[Aelantir]] to [[Haless]], which further cemented their hold on global steelworks.

The [[Aelantir]] chapter of the Vanbury Guild was established in 1517, sent from [[County of Telgeir|Telgeir]] with Vincen of Vanbury as its first leader. The primary purpose of the Aelantir Chapter was to discover the secrets of [[Precursor Empire|Precursor]] weaponry in [[Aelantir]] due to rumours of [[Precursor Empire|Precursor]] artifacts in the region. The Aelantir Chapter is located on the largest of the islands of Tor Nayyi - [[Vanburia]],  in the Torn Sea.

===Expeditions to the [[Kheionai]]===
The Vanbury Guild secured a foothold in northern [[Devand]] in the mid 1700s as the [[Kheionai]] were deterred by the [[Deathwinds]] which cut off [[Alecand]] from the mainland. The foothold was used for the excavation of artifacts which would assist in their forging of advanced weaponry.

===Expeditions to [[Eordand]]===
In the late 1700s, the Vanbury Guild seized the [[Fograc]] peninsula from the ruinborn nation of [[Scarbag Murdkather|Murdkather]] to further their searches. The mythical ruin of [[Cadcimn]] is located in these lands which proved to be advantageous in their research of Precursor steel. [[Scarbag Murdkather|Murdkather]] was pushed further north to the shore of the [[Sarmadfar]] due to the bitter warfare they experienced with the Vanbury Guild.

In 1783, taking advantage of [[Eordand|Eordand’s]] internal conflicts, the Vanbury Guild began their blockade and raiding of its shores. This however proved to be a mistake as the prototype fleet which they sent with adjustable angle and direction cannons was destroyed once [[Einnsag|Einnsag’s]] druids summoned a sea brine storm which corroded their weaponry and left them at the mercy of their more primitive fleet.

===Relations===
The Vanbury Guild sustained friendly relationships with the [[Triarchy]] as well as their contacts of the Vanbury Guild in [[County of Telgeir|Telgeir]].
