Guild
CharacterA guild gathers people who share a single trade or class under one banner. Frieren's world records several, among them associations for merchants, thieves, and mages, the last of which once issued spellcaster certifications back during the hero's journey.
Overview
The term covers any body that unites members of one profession or station. Little has been established about how these groups are structured, who joins them, or exactly what ends they pursue. They appear in various settlements across the continent rather than as a single centralized institution.
Role
During the era of the hero's quest, magic guilds existed to grant certifications to their mage members, a duty later echoed by the Continental Magic Association. Whether that newer institution has wholly or only partly taken over from the old magic guild remains unsettled. Other guilds serve their own callings, organizing the merchants or thieves who belong to them.
Notable Members
The confirmed examples include a merchants' guild and a thieves' guild, both with a presence in the fortress city of Waal, alongside the magic guild active in the hero's day. Membership in each is defined simply by the shared calling of those who belong, whether trade, theft, or magic.
