Scriptwroughts

The Scriptwroughts are considered the most specialized of the Royal Dwarven Military, as only Mages and those that utilize magic are part of this group. Unlike the Hammerfalls, only two divisions are designated within the Scriptwroughts. Still, both have a wide range of possible duties that then split into smaller specialized groups within the Cleric Corps and Special Forces.   Those who wish to join this corps are often told to focus on their studies, and upon completion of their chosen course of education, they can choose their specialty within the Scriptwroughts. As the First Furnace is often split into sets of coursework based upon color of magic, most students often have some idea of where in the Scriptwroughts they may be placed after graduation, but there is still some leeway in these placements. Some on-the-job training may be required for their specific job once they have been placed, but the majority of their knowledge is gained through studying their chosen color of magic.   days during battle are the longest, especially during times of heavy casualties.   All divisions must take part in civil service during times of peace. This looks different for the Scriptwroughts, as time at the First Furnace granted them a profession outside of the military. Those in the Cleric Corps are often Clerics, Paladins, Acolytes, Tamers, and others that specialize in Yellow Magic or those that have been granted the use of Purple Magic.   All divisions must take part in civil service during times of peace. Much like the Cleric Corps, Special Forces operatives will take up professions that align with their specialized color of magic, often becoming Mages, Evokers, Chronomancers, Alchemists, and more.

Leadership

For such a large military, leadership is paramount to success on and off the battlefield. This is not necessarily as true for the Scriptwroughts as their numbers are fairly small compared to the other corps.   Overall, the Scriptwroughts are led by the Headmaster of the First Furnace with Professors of various colors of magic leading small groups that utilize said color. The Headmaster is appointed by the Dwarven King and is often someone who has studied magic for many centuries. This person is also required to serve a number of years in the Royal Dwarven Military in order to take this position.   The rank hierarchy of this corps is tied heavily to the leadership of the First Furnace, with most Professors and other staff of the academy serving as part of the military. Not all staff are part of the military, but it is tied to their job description to help fulfill whatever duties that the First Furnace needs to accomplish in order for the Scriptwroughts to succeed.

The culture of the Scriptwroughts is very far removed from the military, as they are often separated from the other corps, and their duties are very different. These Mages often have normal peacetime professions that are both tied to the Scriptwroughts and not at the same time, giving them the ability to have a life outside of the regimented culture of the overall Royal Dwarven Military. This may vary among the divisions of the Scriptwroughts, especially among the Special Forces, which are even further removed from normal military culture.   The worship and study of the teachings of Crommel is something all divisions participate in, even outside of the Cleric Corps. One day throughout the week is often dedicated to this study, with various groups of the Scriptwroughts selecting different days so as not to take their small force out of activation on a single day. Even during wartime, daily prayers are common, led either by one of the Cleric Corps.

Dwarven Law dictates that items must be stockpiled at the various academies throughout the Dwarven Kingdom for use by the corps of the Royal Dwarven Military. These goods, for the most part, are under the purview of the Combat Services divisions of the Hammerfalls, but some items, especially those for specific spells, are strictly regulated by the Scriptwroughts. Specific units of the Combat Services division are designated to the academies to inventory, care for, and distribute the various items that are kept in stores across the Kingdom, but two additional members from the Scriptwroughts are assigned to the assets stored at the First Furnace.
