The Inept Engineers were founded (and primarily reside) in the Canton of Summergate, with numerous members in the rest of the Barony of Calafia and a few others scattered across Caid. The story of their founding is a tale best told by firelight and they delight in sharing it with others. As such, the only real way to learn it is to come by their camp and inquire. While the only two official events that they attend en masse are Potrero War and Great Western War, their members can sometimes be found at events across the entire Known World.
