A rather formal and printed flier would be published and posted around the City of Ves – unlike other remaining fliers, this was set in clear, readable type. The contents of its text ellucidates quite clearly just why it has such legible text.

 


 

The Guild of Writers.

“VERBA VOLANT, SCRIPTA MANENT”

 

Learned Wardens and Assistants of the Golden City of Ves.

As Drafted and Codifed on Establishment by the Master of the Guild, E. Haraqqa.

 

1717

 

***

[ 2 Grunwalder Gate, City of Ves. ]

 


 

 

 

There is an increasing number of secular persons engaged in the production of manuscripts. These are the scriptors, escriveners and text-writers of the Golden City of Ves and it was they who sought to establish themselves into an organisation. The Guild of Writers acts as an association of artisans of the learned trades - journalists, accountants, lawyers, typists et al.

 

Through professing in, and supporting the education of the written word, the Guild wishes to act as a public service to both citizens of Ves and foreigners utilising its expertise.

 

The founding of the Guild of Writers is to ensure the integrity in business, and the competence in practice, of those engaged in the written crafts, thus strengthening their social position and enhancing the confidence of members of the public using their services. The further bolstering of the reading and writing skill of the laymen is but a byproduct of this mutual goal for financial and social security.

 

 


 

 

The earnest goals of the Guild.

 

The Guild wishes to act in the following capacities to the people of Ves;

 

  • A school for the learning of the unread folks,
  • Apprenticeships and education in the legal artes, and improving lay-knowledge of the Imperial Code,
  • A house for the drafting of legal documents,
  • Confidential negotiation of contracts and loans,
  • The typesetting and printing of manuscripts,
  • Encouragement of the arts of poetry, prose and the musical.

 

 


 

 

Membership.

 

The Guild will grant free membership to all formally qualified accountants, lawyers, magistrates, notaries, chartered secretaries, actuaries or similar kindred occupations.

The Guild will accept applications for membership from any other learned man.

The Guild will consider applications for membership by patrimony.

Chadwick Morris, Magistrate of Ves, nods reading this.

He writes a quick note to himself to join the guild; offer his personal services; and to add support from the Magistrates office.

Fareed al-Abaasi stops as he reads the sign, reaching up to rub at his chin as he makes a mental note to speak to Eidr later about joining.
