Guilds

Almost the entire economy of the free cities is regulated by Guilds. One cannot run a business or pursue training in a particular profession without the sanction or approval of one of the associated guilds.

Guilds, Common

These guilds are widespread exist in all five of the Free Cities. They are not particularly powerful on their own, but they tend to associate with one another and as such, if a person finds him or herself blacklisted by one of the guilds in any city, they will often be shunned by their sister guilds in the others.
