Scholars Guild

The Scholars Guild, despite its simple name, wields significant influence in the realm of historical documentation, the establishment of a unified global calendar, and the funding of various educational factions. With the honour of being the first organization to adopt a name in the Serenity tongue, a language they held a great deal of effort into making. The Scholars Guild stands as the progenitor of knowledge preservation.

Originally established with the noble purpose of safeguarding knowledge, the guild's scope expanded exponentially when the use of magic was outlawed. The vast number of scholars under its banner became indispensable in propelling technological advancements forward. In response to its growth, the guild birthed numerous sub-organizations, including the renowned Musk Candle, which holds a position of prominence in the northern realms as archeologists.

Structure

The Scholars Guild functions as an umbrella organization, encompassing diverse guilds operating under its auspices. Each guild elects a representative who holds a seat within the Scholars Guild, responsible for making decisions on behalf of their respective guilds. The structure of the guild fosters collaboration and collective decision-making, enabling the pooling of knowledge, expertise, and resources for the betterment of scholarly pursuits. This cohesive approach ensures that the Scholars Guild remains at the forefront of intellectual progress, united in its dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and the advancement of society.
