As for becoming a master-craftsman: Did you have to make a special test? And is there a special celebration afterwards? Or did the others simply started to call you "master" over the time, because your work is so good?
To be elevated to Master Craftsman in the Silvergrove, I crafted my first masterwork and defended its design, build process--including new techniques I invented--and practical effectiveness before the Crafters’ Council. Runaan was my hot assistant. He also listened to my speech approximately 73 times so I could practice. Luckily, I was very motivated to get it right!
And the council was duly impressed. They voted unanimously, and then they all asked to hold it and try it out, but I said I had to ask its owner. Runaan generously let me show it off, and I nerded out for a solid hour in the meeting chamber with them, before Runaan gently tapped my elbow and said, “My heart, please forgive the intrusion, but... you are missing your own party, and Tiadrin will have both our heads if I don’t fetch you out to it.”
We all laughed at ourselves--craftsmen are such dorks--and headed outside to where Tiadrin had prepared a village fete. She and Lain always knew I could do it, and so did Runaan. And naturally Rayla cheered the loudest.
Walking out hand in hand with my husband as he wore that bowblade across his chest and smiled so proudly at me was one of the happiest moments of my life.
