Guild of Healers

The Guild of Healers. The Guild of Healers is a wide-ranging guild consisting of those skilled in the art of healing. In each city there is located a guild installation maintaining living quarters and of course nourishment for its members. The headquarters of the guild is located in Armenelos, City of the Kings. Here is where also the Arch Master of the Healers is assigned. A member of the guild is assigned a certain location among either Numenor Proper or in one of the three Numenorean colonies, Umbar, Pelargir and Tharbad. Designation to each city depends on the healer's choice of either the civilian branch or a military branch. Logically, the military healer will be assigned abroad among one of the Numenorean havens serving the military cohort that they travel amidst. A civilian healer will partake in such matters as domestic emergencies, among Nobility or lesser folk, primarily on the actual isle itself and perhaps non-military envoys upon the sea. Military healers, on the other hand, will have the opportunity to travel abroad among the great Numenorean military hosts. These healers will act upon the battlefields and havens with the specific military unit they are assigned.

Ranks among the Guild of Healers:

Arch Master..........Appointed by the Council of the Sceptre, this position is held by one healer alone-the most skilled in all of Numenor. The Arch Master possesses primary authority over all guild work and movement, save for the Council and/or King. The Arch Master will be assigned to the headquarters in Armenelos.

Master..........This position is held by the elite healers that have proved themselves deft in their trade before the Arch Master. They oversee local Healers and Apprentices.

Healer..........The Guild of Healers consist primarily of Healers, those who have learnt the required skills to operate skillfully in the field. A healer may oversee a specific Apprentice to which they are assigned by their Master.

Apprentice..........Apprentice is the beginning position of any person who wishes to join the guild. In this job, one will be taught the basic skills of a Healer through a Master, or more likely, a Healer assigned to them.
