The house has no interest in sponsored posts, and the people we serve can smell one across a field. A champion is different: a fighter, fencer, cutter, smith or performer who carries Warborn steel on real ground, is named for it, and tells the truth about how it held.
01 · The house never buys words
No champion is ever paid to praise a piece, and no champion is asked to. What is said of Warborn steel is said because it was carried and used.
02 · Steel first, always
A champion is set up with the piece their discipline actually calls for — chosen with them, not handed down. If it fails on the field, the house wants that said out loud.
03 · Named, not hidden
A champion stands on the Carrier's Roll by name, with their ground and their steel. The house cites them; they need not cite the house.
04 · Their ground is theirs
No exclusivity is asked. A champion may carry any maker's steel, teach anywhere, and speak freely. The house asks only honesty.
05 · Few, and chosen slowly
This is not a discount programme. The Founder chooses each champion herself and reads every petition with her own eye.

Because when you see that dragon,
you know it’s strong and solid.
