As the director of the only branch of the Blacksmith Guild that was situated in an empire, it went without saying that many of the directors reached out to Byron during the assembly for his insights on the proposals.
After all, as he was near what was considered the center of humanity's power, it only made sense that the person manning the Blacksmith Guild there had a knowledge that would help out in the war, right?
Unfortunately for them, Byron would rather forge a mountain pile of equipment for years on end rather than think about the ramifications of what items would bring change to the current state of the war.
Of course, that did not mean that the man was uninterested in the war at all. If anything, it allowed him to get a close-up look on what was basically the most innovative pieces of equipment humanity had to offer.
…Even if most of them weren't really all that effective in the ongoing war.
