Artisan Guild

Overview

Artisan Guilds are state sponsored and maintained crafting companies led by Guild Masters and come in two different categories; Major and Minor. Major Guilds are typically based around the primary material used by the artisans with Minor Guilds representing a specialty such as Shipwrights or Siege Engineers under the main material of wood/carpentry.

Most often times the Major Guild is the only one employed unless the circumstances call for the establishment of the Minor Guilds.
