The Roundtable Guilds
Leader : The Roundtable Conference
Capital : Geiselburg
Form of Government : Benevolent Democratic Conglomeracy
After the former capital of Geiselschwaltz is sacked, the citizens of Geiselburg are left without any form of government. The adventurers that are part of the guilds that helped the rebellion quickly declares the city to be the home for all free people. The most influential 5 of the guilds gathered together and formed a rudimentary government to keep the peace in the sprawling medieval metropolis. They offered their own members as guards, opened shops, and administered punishment to law breakers.
Over time, the governing body takes root and defined itself as a democratic conglomeracy. On the top of the government are the Roundtable Conference, which is the gathering of guilds, represented by 5 of the most influential ones. The current holder of those 5 seats are :
- Diamond Defenders representing combat and warfare guilds (concerns more about city defense)
- Golden Scale representing merchants and explorers guilds
- Bard's College representing civilian support and miscellaneous guilds
- Alliance of Iron representing combat and warfare guilds (concerns more about offense)
- Simulacrum representing crafting and artisan guilds
Currently, the Roundtable Guild is engaged in a complex political dance with the nations of Upponia, including the City-States of Pluma. These nations are so used with relying to adventurers to solve their dangerous problems outside of warfare with each others. Now that the adventurers have an official body of government, they are unsure how to approach them. It used to be that they would just give monetary rewards to helping adventurers, but now they are afraid that getting help from the Roundtable would put them in a debt. The Roundtable, not too savvy with political maneuvering is also taking careful steps, they do not want to be manipulated by these nations, yet still want to help their problems. A tight rope to walk with.
The Roundtable Guild owns a vast number of request boards all across Geiselburg. These boards contains requests from people all over Upponia that has been vetted by the Roundtable. They are deemed safe requests, which means that the Roundtable is sure that these requests would not compromise the integrity of their government. The rewards for this request are dispensed by the Roundtable themselves, after they had properly received it from the requester. Most of the time the requests are open for anyone in Geiselburg to accomplish.
