The Artificers

Commonly referenced in children’s tales and urban legends, the Artificers are said to sneak into ruins, mansions, and vaults to spirit away any artifacts found within. Depending on who is telling the story, they are either thieves and vandals or noble rogues, protecting the world from the unstable influence of potentially dangerous relics. Some claim that they even make artifacts themselves. They are also referred to as Tinkers or Crafters by some cultures. Whether they are a species of their own or some kind of secret society is hotly debated.
