R.O.O.T.
Restoration of Organized Trades
Underlying every modern society is a complex infrastructure built, maintained, and improved by mortal man. However, with the increase in status of college degrees over the past century, fewer and fewer students have pursued the ancient and proud tradition of the carpenter, the metalworker, and the farmer. To fill that ever-widening gap, Aurelia seeks to encourage a localized network of training centers, mentors, and careers for youth interested in engaging with the primary professions of their ancestors.
