Inventors are not modern scientists--in The Dark Mod, [[magic]] is a tangible, observable force, and Inventors are just as willing to use magic as anyone else. Most people assume the guild's inventions use magic even when they don't (to most people, electricity IS a kind of magic).

	The Inventors Guild came into being half a century ago, when the ~~city~~ was at war with ~~its nearby trade rival,~~ Menoa. This enemy had a powerful navy, and ~~the city~~ knew that an invasion was imminent. The ~~duke~~ called together a group of engineers and alchemists and charged them with the defense of the city. ~~They~~ spent ~~weeks~~ designing ~~innovated~~ siege engines (some of which still stand overlooking the ~~harbour~~ today), along with a alchemical solution that would cause water itself to burst into flame (liquid fire). The defense of the city was a success, largely due to their creations, and the grateful ~~duke~~ presented them with an official charter, allowing the creation of a formal Guild. Since then, the Inventor's Guild has continued to create new machines and other wonders, drawing a great deal of attention.		The Inventors Guild came into being more than half a century ago, when the Empire was at war with the western kingdom of Menoa. This enemy had a powerful navy, and Bridgeport knew that an invasion was imminent. The Lord Mayor called together a group of engineers and alchemists and charged them with the defense of the city. This group spent months designing innovative siege engines (some of which still stand overlooking the harbours today), along with an alchemical solution that would cause water itself to burst into flame (liquid fire). The defense of the city was a success, largely due to their creations, and the grateful city presented them with an official charter, allowing the creation of a formal Guild. Since then, the Inventor's Guild has continued to create new machines and other wonders, drawing a great deal of attention.

	The Inventors Guild is a small but powerful organization of engineers, scientists, and creative thinkers (Think Archimedes, ~~Gallileo~~, ~~and DaVinci~~). They are an official craft guild, meaning they are able to control their own ideas and the selling of their inventions. Like all guilds they have a Guild Symbol, but they don't wear specific uniforms and you can't automatically pick one out of a crowd. As a guild they have different levels of membership--there are Apprentice Inventors as well as masters. Only the Master Inventors have access to the greatest secrets of the guild.

	The [[Builders]] were originally very supportive of the Inventors, respecting their hard work and new ideas. The Builders do not support the creation of steam-beasts, however, suspecting that their creation involves contact with spirits and does not honour God. Inventors tend to be free-thinkers, and often publically disagree with Church doctrine about how the world works, risking charges of heresy. The Church is now uneasy in its relationship with the Guild, with many Builders talking loudly about heretical practices and wolves in sheep's clothing.
