Guilds

Guilds are a kind of organization present in the continent of Thorodon, they were first created at year 2380 by Mage.... to complement the purpose of SpellSchools, being less elitist and allowing more people to enter guilds all around the continent.

α mages
Alpha mages are usually members of the direction of the guild, the founder (if alive) or the current president/presidents. They are the only ones that are not ranked by magic power, but are always at the top for the sake of internal guild hierarchy.

β mages
The most powerful mages in the guild, yet often seen as dangerous, beta mages are the highest position a mage can get on a guild.

γ mages
Gamma mages are usually the "faces" of the guild for the outside world, as they are sometimes the most powerful members of the guild. Beta mages and gamma mages can, for times, have a clash or instead can have a strong friendship. But nationwide, there's a rough distinction between the mages guilds can "show" and "use" (Gamma mages and below) and mages that are so strong and potentially dangerous that no guild should ever use (Beta mages)

κ mages
Kappa mages are the most "populated" category of the hierarchy, they are usually mages who have gone through tests and exams and have gotten the title of Kappa Mages. It represents at least 50% of guilds.

Σ mages
Sigma mages are considered "entrance" mages, they are usually new in the guild and can't control their powers just yet. Frequently sigma mages are kappa-aspiring mages in training or even kappa mages that had their rank lowered. Sigma mages start doing minor jobs, gigs and they are assigned to do guild tasks such as cleaning or repairing things.

Ω mages
Omega mages or even omega apprentices are considered the "newbies" that just entered the guild, it's a very small portion of the guild as almost nobody can stay in the guild as an omega mage longer than two weeks. There's not really a selection method to enter guilds as an omega mage. They can't be assigned to do tasks or get jobs or do anything more than training. If there's an evolution, the omega mage can upgrade to be a sigma mage.

Mentoring Method


All guilds in Thorodon, according to Vafano's Guild Laws, are obligated to have a mentoring program that goes from the top to the base of the guild rank hierarchy. Most of the guilds use the same method of assessment: simulated fights/battles, exams, training competitions and simulated situations. Every guild has the same laws to obey to, but they can choose a different evaluation style. Grasslands Guilds are known for their simulated battles and practical training, while Valland Guilds are more known as having a vast academic scene, focused on study.
