Castayu Del'yir
Castayu De'yir is the guild of nature and tranquillity (sometimes referred to as the Green Guild), and understands the world with laws of nature, that most things are predator or prey, that there is a cycle that must be preserved.
The guild operates from the capital of The Shard, Shard City, west of Viridum and south of New Coventry. Unlike the other guilds, this autocracy hugely represents its people. The fae, whom were born of the World Nexus, are part of the guild by birthright and therefor are often referred to interchangeably. Castayu Del'yir is well known for its mix of races and professions, including fae, elves, naiads, healers and druids etc.
By rule of The Circle the guild focuses on the acceleration and protection of nature. It helps things thrive and it preserves all it deems necessary. For this guild, the druids find confidence in animals, and find the plants as their most lethal weapon or their most potent remedy. Castayu Del'yir brings life and preservation to the Guildeam, keeping forests in balance, nature at equality with man and even keeps watch over weather and natural disasters. They talk to the creatures, and listen to the world around them, if they need to they will overrun their foes with the largest and most devastating plans. At their best, Castayu Del'yir is an instinctual and adaptive guild, but the worst to come of this guild has been called savage, unthinking and predatory.
Structure
Quite different to the rest, Castayu Del'yir is ruled equally by 7 immortal guardians known only as the Circle. Since the birth of Magic Earth these figures have existed in close connection to the World Tree. Unlike the other guilds or governments of Magic Earth, the Circle communicates directly with their people, there is no in between. There are some individuals that are trusted to oversee tasks, however these roles are rare and fleeting, changing when the circumstances require it. Because their are 7, and like any other guild with more than 1 ruler, only 1 of the 7 may attend meetings called at the High Court. Although, it is thought the Circle has a collective consciousness.
Public Agenda
Preservation and growth of the natural world, alongside mankind.
History
Before the Jewel War
Castayu Del'yir is famous for being the youngest of the guilds, but before the guildisation created the Guildeam it had been around as many lesser groups for many, many years. It began as groups of healers, of stray elves, spirits, dryads, druids and hunters. The Circle took it upon themselves to unite these people who had come from various backgrounds of loss or tragedy, and had found peace in nature. It wasn't until the destruction of the World Tree that Castayu Del'yir was born with the birth of the fae, who were the reborn victims of the meteor strike.Post-guildisation
For many decades after the Jewel War, the High Court approached the Circle to invite them to join the Guildeam and enlist their people as an official guild. However, it was not until 1810 that the Circle finally accepted this offer. The occasion meant that all the elves, the Fae, and the humans that followed them at the time had a much stronger say in the decisions being made about Occulas in the absence of a royal family.Demography and Population
The guild has a membership of around 80,000, smaller than the others. Castayu Del'yir is the governing body of Shard City.
