Next in the challenge is "G" for guilds. At its core, a guild is an association of artisans and tradesmen who oversee the practice of their craft. Groups can also be restricted by region.
The Ceoltier Guild in the dragshi chronicles is the training and governance body for those who would be teachers, historians, and arbiters of Justice. Like medieval guilds, their ranks were apprentice, journeymen, and masters. Brown cloaks with green lining marked their rank. Different shades indicated apprentice (light green color of new hay); journeyman (alpine meadow in summer); master (dark green color of jewels from the western mountains). No one will attack or physically harm a guild member. They would find themselves ostracized, with nowhere to hide, or the victim of sarcastic tunes people can't get out of their minds.
There was also a non-traditional level called a special. These were students that were not part of the guild. As such, they would have no road, no journeying. And even more important, did not have to be male. Anastasia as well as both male and female dragshi lords received training at the Ceoltier Hall as special students.

I love the idea of punishment by sarcastic tune!
