Guild

One of the oldest established social systems in Ahnicus is the Guild.

The Guild system was established in the year 41 by the founders of the four continents, Commander Di'aer, Queen lsa, the Grand Master of Vikandor, Dante, Avery, the Mistress of Mizor, Enderallardu, Demon of Tier'ne, Berendar, Counsel Tailsman, Counsel Braxter and Grimmor.

The twelve Founders were elected from a cross section of their communities and gathered in Desciomonde to met out social systems and global treaties over the course of a ten year period, known as The Charter.

The Guild system was established so that global standards could be set for each profession by a group of elected citizens that were the best in that profession. The Guilds were asked to encourage training and provide a standard qualification and charter for its members.

During the The Charter, nine guilds were founded in 41:

• Antiquity
• Merchant
• Manufactoring
• Masters'
• Farmers'
• Healers'
• Entertainers

Two guilds were founded outside of The Charter in 42

• Theives
• Mercinaries

Each Guild was asked to elect an adminstrative body headed by a Guild Master. The Guild Master and the Guild's other elected officials ran the Guild's central house which became in known in some Guilds as, the 'Headquarters'.

From the central house, other Guild houses would be established in other cities and towns by prominent and reknown citizens who were considered the virtuosoes of their profession. The system was steeped in ritualisms and secrets that were spreadout and overseen by the central Guild house.
