THE GUILDS OF FROUNTASIA...
Guilds are a common thing in Frountasia, they are regularly incorporated into stories and talked of often. The only problem is the majority of the guilds are secretative and believed to be fairy tale or untrue.
  Here are a few of them...
The Knight's Guild is the only Guild actually known to exist and not frequently referred to as a "guild". The Knight's Guild is compareable to the Knight's of medieveal times, with similar codes of chivalry etc. The Knight's Guild is recognised and accepted in all countries, and in most, welcomed.
  Joining the Knight's guild means someone has done a great service for mankind and is not an easy task.
The Mercenaries Guild is the next most talked of Guild. Many claim it exists but very few are certain. The Mercenaries guild is a lot shadier than the Knight's Guild, they are people who do their duties and jobs for money, not because it is "right". The Mercenaries Guild also tends to believe more in coming out of a situation alive rahter than honour etc. To join the Mercenary's Guild, one must simply proove their worth by showing they are a skilled mercenary. Newcomers are often given particularly hard assignments to pick out the bad ones from the good.
The Mage Guild is the Guild of magic. It is not a talked about thing because they are the most secretive of the lot. Most people are not even aware there could be such a thing. The Mage's Guild is supposed to originate on Illunus and to become part of the Mage Guild does not solely rely on dedication. Magic is almost a set thing in people, you can only progress so far in magic before your ability stops or even declines. Only very powerful wizards and sorceror's can enter the Mage Guild and it is said that the Mage Guild finds them rather than the reverse.
The Thieve's Guild is also another very secretative guild. They are believe to originate in Excelsior and similar to the Mercenary's Guild, newcomers are given hard assignments to show their worth. Once joined they are free to do as they wish, the Guild is more in place to provide shelter and companionship to the Guild Members. It's a place to boast about or plan endeavers. Most in the Thieve's Guild, look down on petty theft, it is simply a means of survival and an easy trick. They like to challenge themselves with the more difficult prizes.
Can you think of any other Guild's you would like to see here? I am willing to listen...
