	When a guild is officially recognized by the state they're in, a guild is capable of being a self-governed body who can enforce certain rules pertaining to their focus and be granted special rights, which can either be good or bad, depending on the setting. Those versed in the ways of [[/v/]] might recognize the term used to designate groups of players working towards a common goal, but most of the time this ends up being "raiding" and "kill big stuff", meaning there's little difference in between them aside from overall skill level.

For example: a merchant's guild has the right to control the trade of all goods in their territory. In order to make sure they're top dog; they make sure that every trader who wants to sell stuff has to be a member of their guild (where you would have to regularly hand them a cut of your profits), otherwise, they can legally have that trader arrested.

			A common example of a fantasy guild is a Thieves Guild, essentially an organization of criminals that band together to provide training for apprentice thieves and facilitate the sale of stolen goods. Sometimes authorities even tolerate their existence as they regulate crime through imposing standards on their members and cracking down on non-guild aligned thieves. Depending on the setting, such an organization can be a brutal criminal syndicate akin to modern-day organized crime, or a honorable organization that has a code of conduct preventing them from killing on the job and stealing from those who cannot afford it.

	As mentioned above, guilds in fantasy typically refer to the player-created ones where like-minded players come together and pool their resources and assistance for the benefit of everyone, although this is not the only way guilds are represented in fantasy. Guilds have typically been a mainstay in many fantasy settings as being a general collection of the finest people in their craft and anyone aspiring to be good enough to join them. Due to this, they usually have a mentoring role with player classes, teaching them the ropes from the start and developing them into full-blown skilled veterans. Being a group of professionals versed in their craft, guilds ~~typically~~ act as a hub for players to get better access to stuff. Blacksmith guilds only recruit skilled smiths, so players could have the smith there craft them a relatively high-level piece of equipment, or a decent merchant's guild has goods coming in from all the land, so players could find rare and exotic stuff there not commonly found elsewhere.

	~~Lets say we have~~ an ~~bronze age or iron age village which grows into a town.

So you get more carpenters emerging and being able~~ to ~~make a living doing that job. These carpenters will also often work on projects together~~, ~~pooling their efforts and skills and sharing tools. This leads to cooperation in other things. If one guy~~'s ~~workshop burns down, the others pitch in with money, resources and effort~~ to ~~rebuild it~~ to ~~get him back on his feet. They also help train up new carpenters~~, ~~work together~~ to ~~make sure that they get~~ a ~~decent income~~ by ~~agreeing on prices for~~ their ~~work~~ and ~~helping each other out when they get down on their luck~~ and ~~they~~ can ~~negotiate better rates for their work. In general cooperation between carpenters is better for everyone than having them being rivals~~ working ~~against each other. Over time, this fellowship of carpenters gets more formalized~~ in the ~~way it functions and eventually emerges as an institution with recognition by the established government known as a '''Guild'''~~.		A guild is an association of people, who come together for a number of reasons.

	~~In one way~~ or ~~another~~ this ~~rough system emerged~~ in ~~many societies~~. ~~Once~~ Guilds ~~get official recognition~~, ~~they generally get legal privileges~~ in ~~regards~~ to their ~~area~~ of ~~expertise~~. ~~If your city has~~ a ~~guild~~ of ~~armorers~~, ~~don't try~~ to ~~make~~ or ~~sell~~ armor ~~in the city if you are not~~ a guild ~~member~~, ~~the armor you make is not up~~ to ~~snuff or both~~. ~~These guys got~~ a ~~reputation and bank accounts to maintain and undermining either one of them will go bad~~ for ~~you. As~~ they ~~regulated the affairs of manufacturing and various services~~ in ~~preindustrial societies~~, ~~Guilds could become very wealthy~~ and ~~powerful~~ in their ~~own right~~. ~~Sometimes~~ they ~~become unofficial rivals~~ to the ~~landed~~ [[~~noble~~\|~~nobility~~]], ~~sometimes~~ they ~~get an official voice in~~ the ~~official government. They also often ended up being controlled by a select few stuffy old bastards who were set in~~ their ~~ways~~, ~~pocketed as much money as they could~~ and ~~would do anything they could to keep hold on power~~, ~~especially when it meant quashing upstarts with clever new ways of doing things that would upset their preferred order of things~~.
