Fergmash College

The Fergmash are a clan of dwarves specializing in metallurgy. It is their job to smelt the products sent in by dwarven clans, but also to recognize ore that is unable to be recognized by miners.

Fergmash are easily recognizable by the brown or white shirt, accompanied by a leather apron and heavy mustache but no beard on males. They are also tattooed on the left forearm, with each tattoo representing a variety of metal known by that specific gnome - most Fergmash children have at least ten tattoos by age six.

The Fergmash Campus is organized as a collection of square units. Each unit houses two hundred dwarves, and at the center of each is a large yard, full of furnaces, is a collection of ores or ingots from dwarven clans, which is then smelted into the proper compound. Every Fergmash has a workstation shared with one other gnome, and the pair takes turns delivering and working the metals.

The Fergmash are a led by the Dean of the Fergmash, who then reports to the Dean Superintendent, who then reports to the Emperor.
