Trivia

• An Eldric D'Charbonneux appears on a Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) library listing as the author of "Making a Small Blacksmith's Forge" and "Archimedes Drill". It is likely that the name of the armoury is based upon this person, given Richard Garriott's penchant for giving his friends in the SCA in-game cameos.
