The very heart of the Crafts District, the Vault of Skilled Hands' served as the communal center for the craftsmen of Maharesh. Boasting huge workrooms for all manner of crafts, from smithies and forges to carpentry shops and pottery-wheel rooms, those who worked in the Vault benefited from the geomantic architecture, which not only made the final results more durable than normal, but also made the craftsmen's hands sure and steady (granting them an additional die to all Crafts that involve the hands).

The Hearthstone Chamber is designed as a training studio for the martial arts, with high vaulted stone ceilings and smooth granite floors. Unlike a fair portion of the rest of the Manse, this is actually tucked back into the cliffs.

The Essence of the Vault of Skilled Hands is channeled to the Obelisks of the city in order to strengthen the materials from which the city is built – glass is remarkably unbreakable, stone almost never cracks, plaster and wood are highly impervious to harm.
