Purification Guild

Originally established to combat the ravages of Rat-Rot, the Purification Guild of Druvenia is an organization focused on promoting public sanitation, healing of the sick, epidemiology and preventative measures.
 

History

When Druvenia was in the clutches of Rat-Rot, the Sullen Council, in a move uncharacteristic for them, decreed the formation of the Purification Guild.
  Their duty was to spread awareness of hygienic practices, treat the sick and burn the bodies of the deceased in great pyres outside the city walls. They took to this task with determination and, through perseverance, managed to wrestle the sickness into a contained state. After that it was a matter of quarantine and treatment to eradicate the Rat-Rot, which they also succeeded in.
  Today, the Purification Guild offers the same kind of services they did back then, with the added duties of a census bureau. Record-keeping, gathering relevant data on citizens, keeping track of infections and pollution, researching and producing cures for diseases etc. are all part of their portfolio.
 

Uniform and equipment

The members of the guild, often called Purifiers by the common man, wear robes or frocks of white, with one or more of the emblems of the guild emblazoned on it in black. This uniform is respected all across Druvenia, even by those who do not usually have respect for their common man, S'aue or Arachnitha.
  On their belt pouches, these Purifiers carry vials of herbal infusions, syringes, scalpels, bandages, splints and other general first aid supplies as well as rolls of vellum, a quill and ink for taking notes and recording findings.
