The Glassblowers and Bottlers Guild of Ruary are the most skilled in all the Steel Realms. Decanters, glasses, casks, pipes, vials are all made from glass in the city of Ruary. It includes both fine and simple, light and heavy glasswork. Regional materials are used, in addition to exotic sands and stone from the south. The forges of the glassblowers in Ruary have the most consistent forges next to the smithing of armaments in the realms.
The “glasssmith” is a the second or third most respected trade in the entire region, only after the distillers and brewers themselves. The Gaffers and Coopers vie for 2nd position in friendly contests every year, both of artisanry and in wagered contests of physical (including drinking contests!) nature.
The makers of Saison Ale in Umbak are known to import some of the finest glass firkins made in Ruary. They are known to make some of the glass containers using the sacred waters of the Spring of Pristos. For ages, the glassblowers themselves have been trying to suss out how the ale’s containers have been used to hold carbonation over long distances of travel.
