 The rest of the individuals in this keep have their social standings decided by their ability to create.  Within this, there are some fields that are considered superior to others. Hard to learn, or complex works gain the most respect, meaning that brewers, metal smiths, and locksmiths are held in the highest regard. Below these professions are professions like armor smithing, and jeweling.  The lowest class are those with easy to learn skills, like cooking, writing, and mining. This isn't to say that there isn't accounting for skill in these individual fields, but equivalent accomplishments in these fields will be treated differently.   The rest of the individuals in this keep have their social standings decided by their ability to create.  Within this, there are some fields that are considered superior to others.

 +==== Inventors ====
 +
 +With how much assistance this community has gotten from technology to be mentioned later, the Firehammer bloodline will provide funding for people wishing to create something new.  Most noteable of these is [[Chomsky]] a gnome inventor that was the original creature of the clockwork armor.

 These individuals are highly shrouded in mystery. They produce nothing, yet they are acknowledged as having high standing by the Firehammer family. Paying is generally considered beneath them, and the Firehammer family will compensate the creator for anything they request. They have been around long enough that nobody seems to question why they have special treatment, seeming to think that it's part of a Firehammer tradition. These individuals are highly shrouded in mystery.

-==== Death====+==== Culinary ==== 
 + 
 +All cooking in the keep is very simple, partially because cooks are held in such low regard, and partially because the food only serves to accent the beer in question. Breads and cheeses are frequent accompaniments, as they both have good shelf lives, and accent beer well. Unsurprisingly, since nobody in the keep is willing to produce food, it is one of their main imports from outside.  Brewers work with a variety of resources to make their drinks, making it one of the most versatile drinking experiences on Jaern.

 +==== Death ==== 
 Upon death, fearing that, with the sheer mass of earth mages present, the dead will be used to harmful ends, the remains are cremated. This is done in it's own area, which is heated similarly to how the smiths area.  After cremation, the family will buy an urn of quality befitting the individual in question, and take the remains to their  families mausoleum. Those of the Bloodhammer line will generally choose to have their souls trapped in the urn in which their remains are stored, so they can continue to protect their kin.  Upon death, fearing that, with the sheer mass of earth mages present, the dead will be used to harmful ends, the remains are cremated.

-Smithing is done above lava pits, used to heat the metal till it's malleable.  These lava pits are built into walls, with only enough space to stick the piece through the gap.  Nobody knows why these pits work, simply that they have never been known to cool.   These pits tend to all be encircling a unused area of the keep. Because of this additional heat, and the advanced tools, it's possible for most skilled smiths to work with adamantite.  this however makes it very difficult to obtain, as all mined adamantite is turned into final product. +Smithing is done above lava pits, used to heat the metal till it's malleable.  These lava pits are built into walls, with only enough space to stick the piece through the gap.  Nobody knows why these pits work, simply that they have never been known to cool.   These pits tend to all be encircling a unused area of the keep.

 +===== Note Worthy Businesses ===== 
 + 
 +==== The Clockwork Phoenix ==== 
 + 
 +This bar, complete with a clockwork delivery system, provides high end beer to the denizens. They will begrudgingly provide other drinks, often mocking the individual.  They have an extremely complicated clockwork system for delivering alcoholic beverages to their customers from the center area, simply surrounded with kegs.  Punishments for violence with the bar is mostly meted out through downgrading drinks served to the violent party.   The best bear they serve is a beer brewed in refined teresium, that regenerates six elemental units upon drinking. The  first shift bartender is gay, and has 17 seduction skill.   
 + 
 +==== The Golden Hammer ==== 
 + 
 +This is a gold forge that also sells the products made there. It is the largest gold forge there in Firehammer Keep and is known for high end products. It is headed by a dwarf name Hephaestus Goldforge who is running the family business. The average quality of the products is 6 die. Custom products are available on request. (Crosby runs this) 
 + 
 +==== Crystal Palace ==== 
 + 
 +This is a store that sells handmade glass products. They do all of their own glassblowing and is the best place in Firehammer to get glass products. It is run by a dwarf by the name of Jarold Crystalhide who is quite a gentleman and wears a monocle. The average quality products bought here are 6 die, the highest made to this point was a 9 die, but it was made only once. They will do custom products. (Crosby runs this) 
 + 
 +==== Mineral ==== 
 + 
 +Due to the method by which the island was created, the mountain itself was originally devoid of resources.  To this end, the [[Mineral]] spell group was researched, and the hooded ones created. 
 + 
 +==== Gnomes ==== 
 + 
 +[[Gnomes]] are a new race that have been living in Firehammer for the last 1000 years.  
 + 
 +Gnomes are, as most races are, extraterrestrial, but unlike others they are inter-planar as well.  They originated from a more more technologically advanced plane.  All gnomes on Jaern are descendants of brave souls who risked their life to test out a new device, which brought them to this plane of existence.  As that tech plane hadn't discovered inter-planar travel before then, they were written off as casualties, and the research was abandoned.  As such nobody came after them, and they were trapped on Jaern with their damaged device.  Early generations wanted desperately to return, and focused on trying to build up an infrastructure of technology, with which they could repair the device an return home.  After several generations, the reason for this fervor was lost, leaving only an immense drive and fascination with invention.  Nowadays, gnomes invent for the sake of inventing, thinking they are honoring their descendants wishes.

 +==== Side notes ==== 
 +  
 +Vormaxians are highly respected, and their spell "skillful" is in high demand
