Sappers

In a subterranean locale like UnderWorld, you have to have some people who are skilled at digging (and more importantly repairing) the tunnels and caverns. The Sappers Guild is devoted to teaching its members how to create new spaces and preserve the old ones. During times of war, however, they are often called upon by their Domains to do the opposite.

However, Sappers are more than just burrowers. Their experience with the deep tunnels of the UnderWorld has attuned them to the Radiance. A Sapper can almost smell the stuff, and becomes particularly adept at ferreting out Radiance Pools. This intimate kowledge of the physical and magical structure of the UnderWorld means Sappers are able to control the flow of the Radiance to a small degree, increasing or decreasing the local RadCount.

Unsurprisingly, the Guild's services are very much in demand. Lords often offer great favours to Sappers in return for having the RadCount of their holdings increased, or for the discovery of a new Radiance Pool. A clever Sapper can become very wealthy and influential through the accumulation of such favors, and many have done just that. For Sappers who have yet to "strike it rich", however, life is different. They wander the UnderWorld, exploring the hidden corners of the Deep looking for new Radiance Pools, using their more mundane excavation and engineering skills as a way to eke out a living until they score the big jackpot.
