****The Guild is now open and taking applications for membership. The Guild will be open to anyone with an interest in Klingon edged weaponry and/or its construction. The membership will be those who are serious about the construction of authentic weapons and/or those dedicated to the ideals of the Klingon Warrior. Membership in the KIDC is not required. Because of my 17 years of experience in making edged weapons, and by the authority of the Lady K'Zin epetai Kasara and the Emperor Kahless II , I (K'Daq) will be the Master of this Guild until I die or they find somebody better . My goal as Master of this Guild will be to further the knowledge of fine weapons making , increase the member's proficiency in making of edged weapons (including my own) and to increase the availablity of fine weapons to the Klingon Warrior stationed on Terra. It is also a primary goal of the Guild to promote the heritage and honor of the ancient Klingon Knifemakers
Members will start out as apprentices (unless their application shows established skills) until such time as they complete a project of their choice for their Status as Journeyman and finally - Master Weapons maker. This Guild status is irregardless of your rank in other Klingon Organizations including the KIDC. If you have established experience as a weapons maker then that can be submitted on application so you can be afforded the respect that your experience dictates. An undertaking of this size cannot be taken on alone - many skilled artisans will be needed. It is the intent of the Guild to bring together the finest craftsmen on Terra so that the glory of the blade and those who used it honorably will not fade away.
If you have an interest in joining the weapons guild, please send a message to my e-mail address. The doors are open to all who love the blade and publication of our newsletter *mupwI'* will begin 9709.15.

**We have been down for a few months, but thanks to the hard work and friendship of the Guild membership we will resume producing the quality information on Klingon weaponry with the October "mupwI'". The Council of Forges will now meet on the first Saturday after the posting of each "mupwI'" to discuss the info and to basically have a good time. These meetings will be held in the chat room at the Klingon Imperial Weapons Guild Forum at 8:00 PM central time/9:00 PM Eastern (New York) time. All members are welcome to attend.**

Weapon Maker's Directory
Due to the results of the recent Paramount lawsuit involving the production of weapons resembling Klingon swords the Guild has decided to remove the Directory from these pages. I am sorry to have to resort to this, but we do not want to provide a *blood trail* to any new *victims* of Paramount's hunt.
