Guilds of the Free Cities

Guilds

Almost everything in the free cities are run by and controlled by Guilds of the Free Cities. No merchant may conduct business within the Free Cities without the membership or sanctioning of one of the merchant guilds, the mage guild, The Sons of Tyrath, and sorcerers guild The Black.

The Sons of Tyrath

The Sons of Tyrath are an order of mages spanning the with and breadth of the Free Cities.

The Black

Membership within The Black is highly regulated, their numbers tightly controlled and kept secret from the general public. All members of The Black are registered, and a description of what powers they possess is usually provided to several guilds, primarily The Scribes and the Sons of Tyrath. All members of The Black must wear their robes at all times. As sorcery is feared and loathed in the cities, members are kept visible to be distrusted and poorly-received by the common person.

The Guild of Scales

The members of this guild serve as the highest authority on dragon lore. If rumors can be believed, they still treat with the drakes and are sometimes gifted scales by the dragons of Visici.
