It is common knowledge that there are 3 main foundries; Omolon, Hakke, and SUROS. However, there are other foundries that have been... lost. In the Crucible, many have found the last relics from these Golden Age foundries. They are Cassiod, Nadir, Tex Machanica, and the mysterious Daito.
These weapons however, are very unique - starting with "Silvered", "Black", "Bronzed" and, "Painted". You might have even seen them - but they have story.
Cassiod makes the Telesto and the Invective. However, there are a few more weapons that they make; the Painted Mos Ardus V and the Bronzed Nox Volo V.
The foundry Nadir, who has been seeing a comeback with the Nemesis Star makes more weapons. The Painted Neptune MSc, the Painted Apollo MSc, the Silvered Continuum MSc, the Bronzed Chasma Esc and, the Black Chasma Esc are all made from Nadir. Nadir seems to only make Pulse Rifles and Shotguns, the former starting with "Painted", and the later with "Black" and "Bronzed".
A forgotten foundry is surprising popular with Guardians from the Last City is Daito - know for the construction of the Exotic Scout Rifle Jade Rabbit. However, Daito seems to make only long range weapons with their over weapon being the rare Silvered Caracas-LR4 Sniper Rifle.
Known for the last "cowboy" style weapons - Tex Machanica has some hidden secrets themselves. The Last Word, The First Curse and, the Chaperone is not the only hard hitting weapon they have. Tex Machanica is primarily in the Hand Cannon market with their other two weapons being the Painted Big Chief Mk. 45 (which might be the prototype First Curse as they both have 94 on the Impact scale), and the Silvered Maverick Mk. 41 Hand Cannons.
Omolon is a popular manufacturer of weapons, and they offer an amazing Scout Rifle - the Painted Abaddon SR5. This unique weapon scored a 38 on the Impact scale and 42 on the Rate of Fire scale.
The only true mysterious thing that is left is a simple question. Why? Why are these relics in the hands of Shaxx - and what happened to the once mighty foundries...?
