Purpose / Function

The Deyan StA Guild House is one of a handful of similar guild houses all over Arregeas and serves as anchor points for storytellers and scavengers of the StA alike. Prices on food and drinks are reduced for members of the StA and staying the night once is free and after that the price is reduced. This is also a place where storytellers can earn a fixed amount of money per story and aren't dependent on tips from patrons like in non-StA-owned localities. In addition the guildhouse serves as a place to exchange information and research. Documents from the archive in the HQ can also be ordered to the house and be studied there.

Alterations

There only used to be a groundfloor, a cellar and one storey, but 20 years ago a second storey was added to cope with the increasing amount of guests who stayed the night.

Architecture

The guild house is a large building of timber and brick walls, with carved wooden doors and vaulted ceilings. Accomodations consist of several large rooms with beds and woolen mattresses.
It is situated near the market place in Eviin, Deya's capital city, north of the Scholar's Gate. It stands adjacent to a library of cartography.
The house consists of a cellar with a library, the ground floor where food and drinks are served and storytellers can go up on the stage to present their stories, as well as a kitchen and a backroom, and two floors with rooms for guests to stay the night.

History

The guild house in Deya was built 150 years ago on the order of the StA Headquarters and granted by the Deyan government. It is one of the newest guild houses in Arregeas.

Tourism

Many storytellers and scavengers visit the guild house, be it for a cheaper stay, better payment, trading information or researching stories in the library in the cellar. The library specialises in documents about the Riverlands, its history, flora and fauna. There are quite a few accounts of the events of the Age of Fury, since the Riverlands were almost compltely destroyed during the Magic Wars. Thus, it also attracts scholars who study the impact of the Magic Wars on the environment.
