Guild notice—Guild members

Written by Madame Solène de Nivers for the rune guild.

Being a member of a guild—especially one as prestigious as the rune guild—is an immense honour. It is also a lot of responsibilities. As a member, you represent the guild in every interaction you have with outsiders, and you better act accordingly if you want to keep your status.

Roles of the rune guild and its members

Serving the king through civil engineering and military work—non-negotiable.
Advocating at the royal court for the whole field of runic magic magic—and not just your speciality!
Awarding the status of rune master to internal or external candidates throughout the country—don't complain about examining too many bad students!
Guaranteeing the quality of the work of all rune masters in the country—don't be petty with your rivals and make false reports!
Pioneering runic magic research and bring prestige to the guild—and yours is not so much better than anyone's else to justify skiving off your other duties.
Participating in the scientific community by presenting your results, participating in debates...
Teaching at one of our partnered universities—teacher approval and module attribution handled by each chancellor, don't complain to the guild.
Obtaining funding as the guild only provide location and contact network, not salary and research materials—if unsuccessful with official funding rounds, look for a private funder.

Being at the beck and call of private citizens for their own rune projects—no matter what fancy titles they have! Projects need to be approved by the guild and funded properly.
Tutoring children—students are good enough to teach brats!
Conducting research about or teaching alchemy or enchantments—even with dual masteries, this is not within our remit!
