The Aethernauts are made of some of the most brilliant Nocker minds.
These explorers and scientists have traveled far into The Dreaming and
have charted maps of The Near Dreaming. This Guild also has ties with
the Sidhe of the Crystal Circle and the The Brothers of Aether mages.
Nockers and Boggans work hand in hand within this Guild to construct
most fae structures and buildings. Though strained, the relationship
between the Bogggans and the Nockers continue through a contract
stating that Nockers will not employ Goblins and Boggans will not
employ Boggarts. The Boggans do the actual construction work in this
Guild while the Nockers are designers and foremen.
Nocker toys are some of the most ingenious in the the world. Every toy
built by a Nocker is custom made and therefore more expensive than
thier counterparts, causing a great battle over the changeling toy
market. The Toymakers Guild also mass produces glamour inducing toys
for children. The Toymakers guild holds patent over certain golem
internals and produces them solely. Toys by Unseelie Nockers often have
a nightmarish quality and are quite often illeagle under Sidhe Law.
Nocker weapons are by far the best that can be crafted in The Dreaming
and all other kiths recognize this fact. The Guild makes mostly
medieval type weaponry and other low tech stuff, but for the right
price one can commission more advanced weaponry. The Bes Din forbids
the sale of this advanced weaponry to other kiths. The Weapons Guild
also supplies tacticle squads for Nocker Security, under the aegis of
The Bes Din.
Not fully an official guild there are several smaller ones that are
made of the miners that work in that mine. Slowly these guilds are
organizing together and gaining more power, but for the most part are
subject to the demands of a few rich Nocker foreman and Mine Owners.
The Diruptors are a band of Unseelie Nockers that despise the Laws of
the Sidhe, the Edicts of The Shadow Court and the restrictions of The
Bes Din. Disruptor crimes include acts of terrorism, sale of forbidden
technologies and exposing mundanes to frightening chimera in order to
weaken the veil between The Dreaming and the mundane world. Nockers of
both Seelie and Unseelie courts despise The Disruptors, going as far to
ask for outside assistance to help against them. Whatever thier
feelings for The Disruptors they can not deny glamour springs up in
thier wake, even if it is tainted with nightmare energies.
The Monkey's Paw is a secret society of changeling assasins. These
assassins hire themselves out to the highest bidder, though have been
accused of having a Hidden agenda. The leadership of The Monkey's Paw
includes renegade Scathach, and a Sidhe who stayed during the
Interregnum. The Monkey's Paw is highly Unseelie, though it has been
known to have served Seelie masters. One of the star operatives of The
Monkey's Paw is a Nocker nicknamed "The Wire Man".
