Artisan & Trade Guilds

Responsible for registering artisans, collecting taxes, and setting standards for craft and trade.

The artisan guild is a very large orginisation consisting of multiple “merchant houses” of different artisian crafts like, The Carpenters Warehouse, The Sculptors Building and The House of Painters etc.

All these houses are where artisans study and share their crafts, many independend workshops maintain networks and share resourses through these houses, these houses are run by nobles or wealthy merchants.

Each larger town usually has multiple workshops and a guild house.

If players take up the role of artificer or has anything in his or her background that fits into any arts or craft, then they are probably already a member of at least one of the guilds to train on a regular basis.
