Well met, good scribes!

I was wondering if there's any lore floating about regarding the smiths of Cormyr and the makers' marks they use. I would imagine that they're forbidden use of draconic imagery (as the military companies are), so I would imagine that everything else is fair game? Also, assuming that the smiths (specifically what I'm dealing with) can't use draconic symbols normally, is it plausible for a great-great-great......-grandparent to have been granted that privilege for exceptional service, perhaps that ancestor was a knight of the realm who retired to become a smith?

Sorry if this is exceedingly obscure...

Edited because I'm very silly, and Rin is very smart

By the way, it's Cormyrean, not Cormite.



An excellent idea... And that's what I get for listening to their very silly songs


'Cormyte' is acceptable, if archaic, and still survives in the folk song 'The Cormyte's Boast'. 'Cormyrean' is more common in the modern (1370s) era.

(I'll fix the appropriate bits, thanks! )
