	Mages Guild
	With the presence of the High College of Wizardry, the Mages Guild is tightly tied to the structure of the College -- taking on the roles of university & guild. As such, most of the members of the Guild have daily positions in the College, which might confuse the ordinary mage who is used to the more traditional guild setting & procedures. The Guildmaster sits on the Spruce Falls Council.

	Fighters Guild
	The Fighters Guild is also quite nontraditional. Instead of a separate Fighters Guild & military force, Spruce Falls has a combined entity instead. This is headed by the higher ranking officers in the Spruce Falls Elite Guard. Nonmembers are free to come & go, but services are not free. Members enjoy discounts on most items & have priority on training (at regular cost). The Guildmaster sits on the Spruce Falls Council.

	Adventurers Guild
	In stark contrast to the Fighters & Mages Guilds, the Adventurers Guild is rooted highly in tradition. There are rooms available to rent, food to eat, & stories to be told every day of the week, making any adventurer, from the rookie to the experienced expert, feel right at home. The Guild gets newbies acquainted with Spruce Falls, offers advice on local happenings, holds open & closed Challenges to help hone adventurer's skills, offers individual training, & provides tools & equipment. The Guildmaster sits on the Spruce Falls Council.

	Thieves Guild
	Shrouded in misdirection, the Thieves Guild operates under strict confidence of its members. Most know it exists, but few know exactly who & where. As most of the activities are not wholly illegal, the government finds it more applicable to tax "appropriately" than to try to exterminate the deep-rooted Guild.

Merchants' Guild
The Merchants' Guild helps to keep the businesses of Spruce Falls running smoothly & foster good relations between city officials & the merchants & craftsmen. Along with the Craftsmen's Guild, they monitor wages of shop employees, working conditions, & apprenticeships. It is made up of representatives from each of the main businesses & many of the minor ones too. The elected Guildmaster sits on the Spruce Falls Council.

Craftsmen's Guild
The Craftsmen's Guild is actually many smaller guilds rolled into one in Spruce Falls. It is comprised of guilds like jeweler's, baker's, weaver's, smith's, etc. In addition to the duties outlined with the Merchants' Guild, the Craftsmen's Guild also monitors the goods their member businesses sell (i.e. A jewelers' guild might inspect the merchant's pieces to make sure real gems & precious metals are being used). They are empowered with fining offenders & publicizing actions to warn future customers. This ensures quality in the goods sold to the public as well. The elected Guildmaster sits on the Spruce Falls Council.

Guild
This guild is made up of the Agriculturist's Guild & the Husbandrist's Guild. They oversee crop selection, irrigation, grazing lands, market issues, etc.
