Feature: Guild Membership

As an established and respected member of a guild, you can rely on certain benefits that membership provides. Your fellow guild members will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other members of your profession.

Guilds often wield tremendous political power. If you are accused of a crime, your guild will support you if a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You can also gain access to powerful political figures through the guild, if you are a member in good standing.

Guild Business

Guilds are generally found in cities large enough to support several artisans practicing the same trade. Choose your guild business or roll on the table:

  1. Alchemists and apothecaries
  2. Armorers, locksmiths, and finesmiths
  3. Brewers, distillers, and vintners
  4. Calligraphers, scribes, and scriveners

Variant: Guild Merchant

Instead of an artisans' guild, you might belong to a guild of traders, caravan masters, or shopkeepers. You don't craft items yourself but earn a living by buying and selling the works of others.
