Jesters' Guild

The Jesters Guild

The Jesters Guild, unofficially known as the Ancient and Revered Order of Merrymakers is a newer guild in Waterdeep catering to actors, acrobats, mimes, jesters, jugglers, and other street performers. All entertainers once belonged to the Council of Musicians, Instrument-Makers, & Choristers because they were not large enough as a group to warrant their own guild or union, nor quite fit into any other. Not liking how the Council handled their trade, they reacted in different ways, typically ignoring Council wishes or not even becoming members. Thus, the majority of acrobats and non-musical performers were not guild members. Meanwhile, those jesters who were in the guild established the satirical Ancient and Revered Order of Merrymakers.
Heckling a member of the Jesters’ Guild will result in the offending party being jeered at in public by no less than four guild members for a period of four days. The guild headquarters is the Jester’s Clubhouse, a backroom meeting place in Alliance Hall, a small theater in the Dock Ward on the corner of Pressbow Lane and Shrimp Alley.
