The Guild
The Healer's Guild is a group of sorcerers and witches who are proven talented healers. The Guild was founded in the city of Grimwood by the university, but they have since grown to travel to other countries in order to help people in need, especially in poorer countries.
The Insignia
The Guild's insignia is a sun with a swirl eminating from it, representing the belief that the auras of every living creature originate from the sun, as well as the healing benefits of sunlight. Official Healer's Guild members are presented with a small badge with the insignia on it. The insignia can also be seen mounted on any of the buildings that they occupy. It is well-known as a symbol of welcoming and well-being.
The Healer's Oath
The healers' oath is to provide aid and shelter to anyone in need, by any means neccessary. This would mostly be through magic and aura manipulation, but they may also provide aid with herbal remedies and other medicines.
It should also be noted that a healer must not knowingly use violence to bring harm to another person, no matter their race, class, or lineage, else they will be severely punished depending on the harm they have done, (though there are still many arguements about situations dealing with self-defense, as one of their most famous healers, Arcano, was forced to act violently against someone to protect himself and another patient).
Locations
The Guild members take up space in whatever building can be provided for them, whether that be a large building with access to electricity or a tent in the middle of the woods, the healers must make use out of any resources provided for them and use their powers and knowledge of the auras to heal the sick and injured.
Their permanent residences can be found in almost every major city, though many of them still consider their center in Grimwood to be their headquarters. The buildings are usually painted a pale green on the outside, both to provide a calming presence and to make their building stand out so it can be easily found.
It is not uncommon for the Healer's Guild to form alliance with religious organizations as well, and those places may provide shelter and a place to work. When guild members are staying in a relgious space, they will usually hang a flag or banner by the front with a green background and the golden insignia in the center.
