-Vermouth
 
I vould speak my name so zhat I vould not be forgotten as a member of zhe guild. I am apprenticed to either Roy or Ilana depending on who is around. I vill return eventually, though likely no soon.

QUESTION Mr. Ascendant Iron Beard

What do you the below ranks means, and what are the responsibilities? How does one go to Warlock, and how does one climb to Mage? Oooh, and how does a mage go to Sorcerer like Yannith...wait, Sorecerer isn't Yanniths first name? Strange! Does that mean Arcanist Dure'hdel was like, the 2nd in command? Does that mean since I was his personal and favorite apprentice that I'm top Apprentice? If so, please tell GRONK so it's official. Oh right, my original question! ....I forgot....

Beryl,
Are you aware of any official rank that you hold within the guild or are you simply an initiate?

Vermouth,
The responsibilities of our members increase as they gain rank. These obligations are indeed many and varied.

As you are probably already familiar the ranks are achieved as follows.
Initiate – Ability to read magic/ cast up to 4th level scrolls
Apprentice – Ability to cast up to 8th level scrolls
Guildsman/ woman – Ability to read formal magic scrolls
Other ranks are rewarded for achievements and personal merit. The most common advancement being to Warlock. Usually for successfully casting a ritual.

You are most astute to notice that we have added a rank to the guild system. The Arcanist rank is indeed a tribute to Dure’hdel and while he did not achieve the rank in life it is his namesake.

As for being top apprentice… Well I would like to think that there would be some stiff competition for such an enviable title. *wink*

As for being “second” in command that position belongs to either; Number One or the Magus… probably depending on the phase of the moon, or the tide or some such. Quite honestly it can be confusing.

Vould it not be simpler to start zhat an initiate be skilled in reading magic and that an apprentice be able to cast 4th circle spells? Zhat aside I am indeed an apprentice by both these rules and zhe rules of the guild before and I am very nearly a full guildsman.

-Beryl R.T.
 
Beryl,

The rules did not change only the ranks were restructured slightly. they tell me that it's to improve efficiency but I half think that it's only because people need some more layers between them and those lower than them. Never seen the logic to that myself. Best to get down with those that are doing the thing done I say.

It would be logical that you are a Guildsman as you are the apprentice to Warlock Ilana. I will record you as such and when you are next present at a market you may read a scroll of formal magic to make it official.

To clarify, I am not currently able to read formal scrolls at this time but I may be able to when I attend my next market but I may not attend a market in some time.

-Beryl R.T
 
I guess I could be a warlock. I don't really remember. Though my name is Rudari-Targosian-Gallentine now.

- Roy
 
Yeah, GRONK'll take over da Guildhouse. I kinda split my time wit Gaden and Wayside but I'll do my best ta keep tings runnin' dere. Tanks fer trustin' me wit it.

GRONK
 
Rudari-Targosian-Gallentine – You are asked to stand as a Warlock of the guild.

I mean, I guess I wasn't super specific. I got married and that's my last name now.

- Roy Rudari-Targosian-Gallentine

GRONK

Perhaps it is time for you to take on an apprentice Gronk? Someone to help you around the research station and help keep an eye on it.

Nikolai comes to mind. He was recently inducted as an Initiate and is the Overseer of the Water's Edge Research Station's circle.

Hey yeah, I forgot Nikolai got invested when da circle was cast. Nikolai, if you wanna be my apprentice and help tend da guildhouse, I can teach you whatcha need ta know fer magic.

GRONK
 
I'd appreciate the opportunity. Ascendant Iron Beard was able to provide me some instruction last market day, for which I am grateful, but I have much to learn.

-Nikolai
 
I have not had much dealings with the Guild as I am just a lowly apprentice to my Master Asura but its a pleasure to meet ya Ascendant Robert Iron Beard.

Hi! I haven't actually spent much time in Gaden but I'm planning to join the adventurers at market days this year. I'm a Celestialist! How would I go about joining your Guild?
