Bestowed by the Founder’s hand

The Warborn Pledge

Most small houses do not fail for want of a good product. They fail because the inventions they depend on belong to somebody else, and the price of securing them is set for houses ten times their size. The Warborn Siege Engine exists to close that wound, and the Pledge exists so that the houses who need it most are not the only ones who cannot have it.

If your house stands beneath the threshold and can argue its case in writing, the Founder will license you at a rate you can bear — and you will wear the Dragon Seal exactly as the greatest house on the ladder wears it.

What the Founder requires

A proposal on your own company letterhead. Corporate, professional, signed. Link it below where we can read it.
Clear numbers. Years trading, annual revenue, how many hands you employ. Stated plainly, not rounded into fog.
A stated need. Which instruments, and the exact wound each one closes in your house. Not “we would like the tools.”
A written return. What the licence earns or saves you, measured against the rate you propose to pay for it. If you cannot show the return, you do not yet need the instrument.
The Seal. A pledged house bears the Dragon Seal. There is no quiet version of this licence.

This is not a discount code and it is not granted by a page. Every petition is read by the Founder and answered by her hand. A refusal is not a judgement of your house — it is usually a judgement of the proposal, and you may write again.
