Guild: Smiths’ Guild. Each apprentice must
serve 8 years. All members are prohibited from injuring
each other including apprentices, or their
property. Members accused of violating this prohibition
are banished from the guild, if not the community.
All members are discouraged by a 100 s.p.
fine from helping smiths outside of their guild, as
well as making illegal keys or tools for thieves. Apprentices
must pay 200 s.p. to join the guild as a
journeyman, though sons of members may join for
free. If any member has more charcoal than needed,
then it may only be sold to other members at a fixed
price, and no member may purchase more than necessary
for their work. Violators regarding charcoal
pay 100 s.p. A master may not have more than 2
apprentices or own a slave; otherwise, a fee of 100
s.p. is charged.
Once an apprentice for 7 years, they may
apply to work as a journeyman for the guild.
For a journeyman to become a master, they
must be able financially to open their own shop,
and receive the approval of the guild. To receive
approval, they must pass a Persuasion skill check.
The TH begins at 30 and is decreased by 1 for every
period of 6 months in which the journeyman has
worked locally with the guild. The Aedile may overrule
this skill check or apply any modifier deemed
appropriate.
