The Ten Nyxian Guilds
Most of the citizenry are members of one of the ten guilds, each a unique organization with its own rules and specialties and specializing in a unique two-color combination of magic. Here's a Colored Mana breakdown of the guilds. The guilds are bound by a nearly unbreakable agreement called The Nyxian Guildpact.
- The Izzet League: The mad scientists and crazed engineers. The Izzet specialize in blue and red magic.
- The Azorius Senate: The order-obsessed lawmakers. The Azorius specialize in white and blue magic.
- The Selesnya Conclave: The utilitarian nature-lovers. the Selesnya specialize in green and white magic.
- The Golgari Swarm: The rot farmers and necromancers. the Golgari specialize in black and green magic.
- The Cult of Rakdos: The demon-worshipping hedonists-for-hire. the Rakdos specialize in red and black magic.
- The Gruul Clans: Formerly the protectors of uncivilized nature, the brutish Gruul were sidelined by the other green guilds as the galaxy expanded. They specialize in green and red magic.
- The Simic Combine: The extreme biologists. The Simic specialize in blue and green magic.
- The House Dimir: The subtle criminals working both for whoever hired them and for their own purposes. The Dimir specialize in black and blue magic.
- The Orzhov Syndicate: "The Church of Deals". The Orzhov honor money above all else. They specialize in black and white magic.
- The Boros Legion: The militaristic law enforcers. The Boros specialize in white and red magic.

Nice, this one really made me laugh! However, there are several guilds I'm interested in that are not really present, as far as I could see. First, are there any sailors in here? (LOL, but my world is called the Seas of Steel, so I would like to know) Second, what are the magic types and why do they exist? Finally, why are these a federation? Is there a central government that is "over" the guilds (like a Nyxian Bureau of Guilds or something)?
The guilds are bound by a powerful magical pact, it lays out the roles of each guild. and as for sailors, it depends on the planet you visit.
the bold red words words in my artcles are links to related articles. So if you want more detail on the Pact that binds the guilds together its listed in first paragraph.
Also, the Guildpact makes them work together to an extent as a federation, but each Guild has its own governmental system. I'm constantly adding the Guilds one by one to the list so keep a look out for up dates.
