Notes:

The local hardware stores, trade centers, and many of the Moln Metals locations have Jargen Daily’s quote hanging on a bannister somewhere near the entrance, or hanging behind the counter. Anyone can find sign up sheets for the union at these locations. The majority of the schools offer classes directly from union members in design, architecture, construction code standards, ethics of craftsmanship, and project management. All directly bankrolled by the Emperor himself.
