Diver's Guild
Guild that manages, organizes, and promotes exploration, travel, and resource extraction in the Forest. It's presence and influence vary from nation to nation, but is largely accepted across the mainland as essential for Forest exploration.
Recommended Depths and the Dangers of Shinsoo
To promote safety of it's divers and assurance of request completion, it has established a ranking system along with maximum recommended depths for each rank. Going beyond the recommend depth often results in unforeseen side effects due to shinsoo density at those depths. If lucky, a diver may perform above average, if unlucky, a diver may be drastically impaired. Depths are set with a buffer range before "shinsoo saturation" may begin occurring, in an effort to prevent "shinsoo high" addictions from developing, where divers begin to feel overwhelming energy from reaching critical levels of shinsoo absorption. While diver performance under such highs often improves dramatically, it can lead to adverse risk-taking decisions as divers begin delving deeper into the Forest in search of stronger highs, usually culminating in severe illness, shinsoo dependencies, and bodily mutilation/mutation--for the ones who survive.Structure
The Diver's Guild head is referred to by either "Admiral", by those in the guild, or "Guildmaster", by those outside. There are similarly "Vice-Admirals" for each nations HQ, and local guilds are each headed by a "Captain". Each guild port contains 3 main branches: The Officer branch, for the typical Divers; the Records branch, for those tasked with map-making of the vast Forest and updating guild records; and the Bosun branch, for promoting the guild, managing relations with other organizations and nations, receiving and sorting requests, and the recruitment of new divers, until they have been properly sorted into either their own branch.
