The Skyfarers' Guild
The skyfarers are the aerial adventurers of The Shattered Realms. Acting as couriers, transports, errand runners, and adventurers for hire. While anyone can acquire a skyship and start life as a skyfarer, membership of the Guild grants access to the more lucrative jobs, while adding an air of respectability to the ship and crew.
Unusually, there are no fees involved in being part of the Skyfarers' Guild. The Guild earns money from those who list jobs with them, with the full payment for completion of the job going to the crew themselves. This does mean the Guild holds its members to strict high standards, and expulsion from the Guild for failure to uphold these will permanently lose the crew access to their sought-after benefits.

Structure
At the top of the Skyfarers' Guild is the council of 5 Guild Admirals. These long-retired Skyfarers settle disputes within the Guild, whether it be from clashes between crews, payment disputes from clients, reports of un-Guild-like conduct, or whatever else may arise.
Below the Guild Admirals are the Guild Captains. Former skyship captains who retired from that life to become the Guild contacts for their assigned regions of the Shattered Realms. They are the main port of call for Guild crews when seeking work or collecting payment. When a ship joins the Skyfarers' Guild they are assigned a Guild Captain as their designated contact, with a Sending Stone given to the ship's captain for communication.
