The Guilds

Whereas the rule of the Churches is cemented by their positions as the only way to ensure your soul goes somewhere better when you die, the Guilds exist only insofar as they can maintain their legal monopolies.

Guilds have a monpoly on providing their services professionally. For example, the Hegemony Army has a core of Guild-accredited Surgeons, but were these surgeons to treat private patients for a fee, they would be breaking Guild law. Below are some of the Guilds who have sent Agents to Mat Sellah. Other guilds do not have enough of a presence to support a PC-driven mission. Three Guilds have sent formal delegations to Mat Sellah. These are the Guild of Caravaneers, the Guild of Mages and the Guild of Antiquarians.
