Homeland: Kasmir

"Yes, I can easily install a retractable blade in the front of your boot soles, for a generous fee of course."

Outsiders fail to understand your thrifty nature, and accuse you of being miserly. You see them regard you with derision, but you always note the glint of envy in their gaze, for they recognize the financial power you wield, and covet that power themselves. Your people have, of necessity, learned to defend themselves and their wealth, from burglars, thugs, and pickpockets. As a weaponsmith, an artificer-magician specializing in the construction of elaborate and sophisticated personal defense artifacts, you ensure some measure of safety for your people when they must venture forth from their windowless towers. You craft your cunning devices so that they resemble items more inoffensive in nature, for to carry obvious armament is to invite trouble. Blade-staffs, blade-bracers, and spring-knives are your mainstay, but you will readily construct any weapon for the right price. Even the trapmages enlist your aid when they need blades or pins for their constructs. Like the spring-knife, your people may appear to be defenseless, but that is but a useful illusion.
