My name is Allen Riker. I'm the owner of the 46 swords smithy in Crosh the capical of Klish. I make 46 swords each month, and only allow 46 swords  in the shop front at one time. I do it in memory of my past life but don't get me wrong though I moved on from that life. It's just without the Lucky 46 I wouldn't know the skills that I know today.  So to commemorate them for all they've ever done I named my corporation after them.

I say corporation because that's what it is I have a smithy ,3 logging mills, 2 wood working shops, I also hold the monopoly on distilled liquor in the four kingdoms, and let's not forget my guild the 4 paths.

Every one in my guild members I have trained since I was apart of the Riker house. Most of them where beggers or ophans in the village my family owned. I took them all in and made an army so discipline, that it makes the chinese army look like a joke.

We are called 4 paths because there a 4 types of service you can procure from us. They are transportation of any good and I mean anything. Assassination of anyone not affiliated with the guild. Information on anyone not a client unless you got the coin to make us drop the client. And the last one monster subjugation.

I've told you all of this but I haven't explain the world I live in Argus. In Argus there are 4 kingdom the republic of Jamar, the merchant kingdow of Klish, the kingdom of bones Nicro and the warrior kingdom of Grash. Argus is a world swords and magic, where how much skill one has determines the life they will have. But let's talk about magic first I personally specialize in magic engineering. What that means is that I ether use runes to enchant things or to make machines, it also means I can make new magic to sell. There are other schools of magic, such as invokers who are you classic mages who shoot fire balls at each other. Then there's the enhancers who boost their physical strength with mana. This is something everyone but invokers can do. This is because of them opening  mana pores to cast mana outside of their bodies, because of this their flesh can't hold in the mana for enhancing. We engineers can cast magic out side of our bodies and enhance, but only from our hands to place down runes so we can't get the best of both.

Now I said we engineers can make new spells to sell. I should explain what that means we can not cast spells like invokers but with runes we can design spells for others but we need to know exactly what is happening in the spell. Take fireball for example the person who made that spell made it so that with mana a flame is created and by pushing mana forward the mana would act like a fuel creating a ball of fire. This way of making it was the most common but also the most wasteful. The invoker would run out of mana in about 20 to 30 fireballs this way if they were your average invoker, but if they were exceptional they can use this way for about 80 to 100 times. So the engineers reinvent the spell with better performance; but this time they vibrate the mana in the air to make a spark then use their mana as fuel to launch the fire ball. Thus making it so average invokers can fire it 80 to 100 and exceptional ones 300 to 500 times. Get it we engineers are constantly reinventing the wheel and trying to one up each other. This also works for runes but I'm the only person who knows that or if anyone else knows it they wouldn't share it with anyone unless they were an idiot.
