The Guilds

Cross-province organizations with significant power:

• Engineer Guild - Controls technological advancement
• Merchant Guild - Regulates trade and commerce
• Healer Guild - Oversees all medical practice
• Farmer Collective - Protects agricultural interests
• Artisan Union - Represents craftsmen
• Scholar’s Circle - Academic and philosophical body
• Performance Guild - Arts and entertainment

Guilds have their own internal hierarchies, political agendas, and sometimes rival provincial authority. Players can join and rise through guild ranks.
