Guildhall of Leatherworkers, Weavers, and Tailors
A sprawling coalition of artisans, the Guild of Leatherworkers, Weavers, and Tailors encompasses nearly every craftsman involved in the creation of textiles and clothing.
While the three core trades of leatherworking, weaving, and tailoring define its name, the guild also includes:
- Cobblers, dyers, and seamstresses.
- Curtain makers, upholsterers, and hat makers.
- Yarn spinners, cloak makers, knitters, and embroiderers.
- Even hosiery makers and specialist designers.
However, its sheer diversity has led to disorganization, preventing it from attaining the influence of other, more structured guilds, such as the Carpenters' Guild . This lack of unity is reflected in its modest guildhall, which serves only for monthly meetings and the occasional gathering of guild masters.
One notable feature of the guildhall is a lavish, well-hidden apartment at the rear of the building. This luxurious suite includes:
- A well-stocked bar.
- Plush chairs and rich rugs.
- A grand fireplace.
- A massive, ornately carved bed.
This exclusive retreat is strictly reserved for guild masters, who may use it through a rigid reservation system. Each master possesses a key, but the apartment’s existence remains a closely guarded secret. Only a single housekeeper from Old City, who arrives each morning to clean, knows of its true purpose. It is rumored that the suite is often used for liaisons that must remain hidden from the prying eyes of spouses and rivals alike.
