The Assayers Guild

The Assayers Guild is responsible for maintaining bureaucracy within Reliad. They act as the Lawful Neutral member of the Council of Nine.

Guild Information
The Assayers hold one belief above all others-that civilization must endure. To that end, the Assayers have assumed various roles throughout the city, designed simply to keep Reliad's internal machine running like clockwork. They comprise the city's bureaucratic force, its tax collectors, lawyers, regulators, and archivists. The Guild collects taxes and dues, issues licenses and insurance, and collects census data. Though membership in the Assyers Guild does not carry the prestige that some other Guilds can claim, its inductees do not seem to mind. To them, Guild membership is not something designed to bring individual glory or prestige-it is simply a job, nothing more. To them, efficiency is much more highly prized than honor. They are well aware of the necessity of their posts, and though not a militaristic guild, there are many in the city who claim that a visit from the Assayers Guild is one of the most frightening sights in the city.
