While travelling Tustur spoke much about his crafts once again and could always see a gleam in Rellik's eye slightly mischievous but also deep in thought, a mindset Tustur himself knew all too well while beginning to think to himself "maybe one day I'll be the one teaching." Upon arriving at the guild hall, they both received a copper badge and a room to stay in (although looking at the badge maybe it could use a smith’s touch). This could be the inspiration he needed to return to the craftsman's mindset. Not quite knowing what this entailed (believing that a guild was only a place of craft) they set off together and for the first time ever Tustur found himself out in the open air, looking from the entrance to their mountain home across green fields and rocky valleys. It was at this time another Dwarf named Rellik beseeched him to travel together to a guild. Since deciding that the one who was to receive this gift was unworthy of his craftsmanship Tustur fell into a slump, unable to create to the magnitude he had before and losing his desire to craft all together, believing himself to no longer be worthy due to his blunder. If something is to be made it must be made with incredible craftsmanship, striving for perfection in each hammer stroke, and for the one who receives it to be worthy of such an item. This he wished to give to his father’s brother. Striving to be the best in each craft he kept honing his skills managing to create what would be classified in any city of elves, men, or dwarves as a great work. He had now become a man learning the ways of the craft and the name of that bitter drink "beer" (a much-loved beverage by this point in time). As a boy he was once fascinated in the workings of the mines, the beauty of gems, the wonderful smells that food could produce, and the bitter drinks he occasionally sipped from his father’s mug while he was not looking. Many years had Tustur spent in the dwarven mines, seeking perfection in his crafts.
