  There are ten 
major trade 
associations that 
operate legitimately 
in the lands of 
Britannia and among 
its trading partners. 
Many of these 
#EOP
guilds are divided 
into local or specialty 
subguilds, who use 
the same colors but 
vary the heraldic 
pattern.  There are 
many lesser trade 
associations that have 
#EOP
closed membership, 
and one can join them 
only by invitation. 
"Beltran's Guide to 
Guilds" is the 
definitive text on the 
full range of guilds 
and other 
#EOP
associations in 
Britannia, and I 
heartily recommend 
it.
  In what follows I 
have attempted to 
bring together the 
known information 
#EOP
regarding these 
guilds. I offer thee 
the name, typical 
membership, heraldic 
colors, known 
specialty 
organizations within 
the larger guild, and 
#EOP
any known 
affiliations to other 
guilds, which often 
occur because of 
trade reasons.

#EOP
  In addition to these 
aboveboard guilds, 
there is one other 
covert organization 
well known to exist, 
whose membership 
is likewise open to 
those who seek to 
#EOP
apply. In some places 
where illegal activities 
are condoned more 
openly, they dare post 
their sigils publicly.
  No law-abiding 
citizen would ever 
join a guild such as 
#EOP
this, of course! Yet 
their existence must 
be acknowledges of 
the sake of 
completeness.
