Purpose:
The Celestial Guild of New Caladore has existed in several forms throughout the years. Currently, the Guild is in the midst of a restructuring and expansion initiative. The Guild exists to train dedicated individuals in the casting of Magic and to provide a place of safety where members can respectfully exchange ideas and discuss theories.
The Celestial Guild of New Caladore is committed to the research of new Celestial spells and Formal Rituals as well as to the gathering and study of ancient lore. The Celestial Guild also offers discreet identification of magical items and objects of curiosity.
The Guild of New Caladore will strive to maintain a complete set of all legal Formal Scrolls for rental except those that Create Golems or Transforms. From time to time, the Guilds may be willing to purchase a copy of Formal Magic Scrolls and other resources deemed necessary for the advancement of the Guild and its members.
Structure:
The Guild is organized into a tiered system of membership. Outlined below are the levels of membership available within the Guild along with the qualifications and the benefits of membership. Guild members will be assessed a yearly due; in exchange, all members of the guild will receive a membership card stating their name and rank within the guild. Members will need to provide their membership card to the Guild Master Wizard upon rental of guild provided items/services. Adventurers may be a member of both the Celestial and Healer’s Guilds; however, they are required to pay separate dues and may not necessarily hold the same rank in both Guilds.
