"Great Crafter" is a title bestowed upon the most skilled craftsperson of the Patch Tribe.

History[edit | edit source]

"Great Crafter" is a title bestowed upon the most skilled craftsperson in the Patch Tribe at any one time. The Great Crafter is entrusted with the tribe's loftiest secrets in regards to their legendary crafting skills.[1] Since a period known as the "Days of Quiet", the Great Crafters have held secrets so powerful that they are only passed from one Great Crafter to their successor[2] through word of mouth[1] when their bodies are no longer able to function. It is said that, if a Great Crafter agrees to create a weapon for a swordsman, there is no higher honor that can possibly be bestowed upon an individual by the Patch Tribe.[2]

The current Great Crafter is a woman who created Etu for Anna Raregroove.[2] This Great Crafter is the only one who held the title in the Patch Tribe's history to use her skills to create a weapon.[1] For Anna, Etu is the embodiment of the Great Crafter's trust in her, her honor as a warrior, and the love held for her by the entire Patch Tribe.[3]

In 150,081 CMT, Anna Raregroove revealed to Mushima that Etu had been created by the most recent Great Crafter of the Patch Tribe.[2]

A katana forged by the Patch Tribe's greatest craftswoman, the revered "Great Crafter," [...] The Great Crafter herself holds the tribe's loftiest secrets in regards to their legendary building skills. It has been said that no greater honor can be done for a warrior by the Patch Tribe - Of their blood or, rarely, from outside their families - Than for their crafters to design a weapon; let alone the Great Crafter herself. [...] the crafters who will make weapons are few and far between - And Etu is the only weapon known to have ever been born of a Great Crafter's works. [...] But with the secret arts of the Great Crafter, passed by word of mouth to succeeding heirs since the "Days of Quiet," Etu is a weapon of truly unique calibre."
