Yamatai - Tamahagane

One thing that has always felt missing to me, especially in a realm that models itself after Japanese culture was the lack of swords.

So I have created a company to manufacture swords, and will be working to expand their offering with time.

Tamahagane
 
After seeing the 'old map' I have chosen a location for it.

Kyousou is located on the southern coast of the Vela Prefecture. It has a population of 15,000. In addition to Tamahagane, its economy is supplemented by fishing, farming as well as a number of artisans.

I also added this to the Tamahagane page as well.
 
Must be extremely cost prohibitive and expensive to produce a sword of Yamataium all things considered.
 
Hmm, it's interesting to see another traditional and down to earth type manufactuer. I'm wondering if this'll be a trend for manufacturers to use more traditional methods of creating unique or ceremonial items in the setting.

(By the way, I'm working on Godfrey & Morrison Clothing Company, but the article is FAR from complete, and once I see it ready, I'll post it.)
 
The cost for the manufacture of the Yamataium swords is based on the data on this page List of General Melee Weapons

And I actually increased the cost beyond the 3x that the Melee Weapon page says.
 
I think that these articles are more or less ready for approval, unless Wes himself has any concerns about this.
 
Leaving this up here for one more day unless any further concerns need to be addressed.
