How are there any working craftsmen with LB around

Thread title sums up my question pretty well. LBs make stuff in a way that's just plain better than what any human craftsman or artisan could produce. How, then, have they not completely taken over the economy of the neath? How is there still a market for items manufactured by, well, people, when rattus faber, by default, can make the same things but markedly improved?

Their stuff is probably much more expensive.
There is always a market for cheaper, substandard goods.

Also, most of it is rat-sized.

Everything is subject to the Masters, right? So one assumes they prefer to encourage human craftsmen and restrict rat craftsmen.

The LBs also tend to be a little opposed to being "ratted" and plenty of people prefer rats to be dead, even if they're decent crafters. I imagine there's some very literal "class warfare" involved between the LBs and society at large.

Saevitia's profile and appearance! [Gone NORTH]
Now playing Esméralda, Saevitia's former helmswoman and moralistic Campaigner; she looks like this.
I'm usually up for RP. Social actions are generally accepted; those with in-character RP invitations are most likely to be reciprocated.
