Alchemists Guild
A mysterious neutral organization responsible for many advances to the quality of life that people not just in Aviagard enjoy.
Structure
The guild is broken down into its pieces to account for how long someone has stayed within the guild, how they arrived, and what their contribution to the guild has been thus far.
Entry into the guild begins when one voluntarily joins or is involuntarily recruited through various other means. At the lowest levels of the guild you have freemen. They are just starting their potentially lifetime long appointment into the guild. They are only allowed to enter The Housing section of the Tower. Of the work that they can participate in they can only provide assistance to any higher ranking guild members when asked of them, or partake in data collection set forth by the higher ranking guild members. When asked to enter other parts of the tower by higher ranking guild members it is possible for them to do so only under the supervision of the one who requested their assistance.
After you have spent either a year with the guild or contributed enough hours of field work to the guild you then become an acolyte. After this rank has been achieved you are allowed access into the lower levels of The Keep, Resources, and testing. What you can do is also expanded. Individual research can performed, assigned research tasks are done, and maintenance of the various systems are kept up.
After two to three more years had been completed, various group research has been done, or the design of something had been improved upon whether it is in-tower or otherwise you are then you achieve the rank of journeyman. Journeymen are able to access most of the floors of the Tower except for the last few floors. Some journeymen are selected to run their own research teams and run their own researching efforts. This is the point where most guild members' progress ends. Many guildmembers are known to not be interested in further advancement, to not have the capacity to advance further, or die before they are able to advance.
Once a significant advancement has been made, multiple sufficient enough in-tower improvements have been made, or research upon a subject has resulted in mastery of such study, does one become a master Alchemist. Master Alchemists decide what research efforts are started and when, are liaisons to the outside world to provide appropriate technologies in exchange for monetary gain, and occasionally counsel leaders they deem beneficial.
Public Agenda
To those that know of the Alchemists Guild, they are wholly concerned with advancing human civilization to their peak. All the latest and greatest innovations to define eras come out of the tall tower.
Assets
Their first and foremost asset is their immense collection of knowledge and tools. Beyond that they have a constant flow of money from the government of Aviagard, and other countries. Along with the money flow of the many countries the guild worked with it also benefitted from the private wealth of various noble families that have commissioned specific breakthroughs or research to give the the upper hand in political games.
History
The year after Equinox had been sealed away, his most influential follower started the Alchemist's Guild as a means to go forth with the teachings of Solstice. Even though Equinox had been the one in charge of the direction of the Church of Solstice, Gregor had always felt that the direction the church was headed in only came to benefit Equinox.
In the end his assumptions were correct, but not in the way he had imagined. Equinox had ended up using the growing resources of the Church of Solstice for murderous intentions to achieve godhood. By the time that Equinox had murdered his first demigod it was already too late to secede from the Church. Gregor ended up finally going against Equinox in the fight between Gorund and Equinox, and ended up sealing him away for many years to come. The day that Equinox was sealed Gregor had announced that he was the head of the church and that they were heading towards a new direction.
