Vafano's Guild Laws

At year 2400, Guilds were officialy created or recognized by King Merlin through the help and pledge of Vafano Strauss, now All-Father of Guilds. One of Merlin's requests for Vafano was that he would create a set of laws or standardized rules to be strictly followed by all guilds in Thorodon. Vafano created what is known as "Vafano's Guild Laws".

Laws

 * 1) No guild can fight with other, even if they have a major clash
 * 2) All guilds must have a leader, be it the founder or the current president. The leader of the guild does NOT have maximal powers over the All-father of Guilds, but they can ask for a change of law if the situation is properly seen. If the guild does not have a founder or president, the members of the middle and top of the hierarchy have to appoint one.
