The Vinyar don't have guilds, while they are a monarchy (sort of) the charter (the national constitution) doesn't allow them any special rights. They are illegal in the Brin Republic For most other countries guilds are stictly local affairs.  The incesant internacene fighting on the mainland (100 plus years of war)  has left few of the nations stable enough to have guilds or even the same king from year to yearThe ten cities have guild but I haven't worked them out in detail  i assume they are on the Italian Rennisance patternAnother  exception is Galandria, which is Ren Faire land more or less. They have a fairly effective and honest guild system.There is also the Society of the Chain or the slavers guild as they are popuarly called.  They are a malovent and protective order dedicated to the religious notion that the ownership of slaves is vital partof humanity. They do all of the price regulating, quality control and so on a guild would normally do even though they are a cult in all actuallity.</blockquote>
