Spoiler

Very excited to see the restoration of the guild, a big thanks to those who helped create the history that we are renewing (Thoak/Serf, Bejebus, Skippy, and BDanecker) and for those who helped write this document (Myself :], Titanium, Norgeth) and most of all those who will help lead this going forward, Dcsword, Enderking, Falk, Xergarok and Titanium(again yo?), and all the workers who will be participating, and who have participated. Let’s make dwarven culture great again!

 

 

 

YEMEKAR’S WORKFORCE

 

The pride of the dwarves has always rested in their labor, that their works and feats are superior to the other races. For it was the spark of inspiration within the soul of Urguan Silverbeard and his descendents that designated the dwarves as chosen of Yemekar, and it is their dedication that maintains that dignity. Labor and craftsmanship are not only a means of revenue, but a means of honor. To this end, YEMEKAR’S WORKFORCE was reforged by a host of Master Craftsmen and Priests from the rusted remnant of the Workers’ Guild. Its mission; To promote worship through honored labor and supreme craftsmanship among Urguan’s Folk.

 

EMPLOYMENT

 

To be employed as a member of Yemekar’s Workforce is not only an honor, but the best means of integrating into dwarvern culture.

 

The system of pay in the Workforce is based entirely on work, and amount of work and consistent quality of work. To this end, it is organized by the labors system. There is a list of labors and corresponding expectations and guidelines to such labors. The more labors a Worker does in a year, the more they are paid, though for the financial stability of the guild there are limits to the amount of labors accepted per year, especially for newer Workers. After great effort and many labors, a Worker may receive promotions to indicate his higher quality of work, and be trusted with a higher labor acceptance than his peers.

 

However, the primary boon of the Workforce is not its system of payment but its system of instruction. It offers immeasurable investment in one's own skills, for in the workforce one is given connections to greater resources, masterfully talented crafts-folk, opportunities for fame and fortune, the backing of the Grand Kingdom, and the gratitude of Yemekar himself.

 

A benefit of employment for the security of its workers is a home within the Guild Halls. These homes are modest and simple, though with dedication a worker can upgrade their home or even earn a rank in guild leadership and receive an office.

 

HIERARCHY

 

Being an organization dedicated to labor, the ranks of the workforce are primarily based on merit within the individual guilds, though the higher ranks of leadership require a familiarity with the concept of the Rhun and creative capacity.

 

Yemekar's Pick

 

Leader of the workforce and obligated with yearly feasts to coordinate the projects of the guild as a whole. Expected to hold a mastery and great wisdom on the many disciplines within the Workforce, and is ultimately a servant to the industry of Urguan’s Folk.

 

Guildlords

 

Leader of the respective guilds within the workforce, they hold authority on their own guilds and obligation to manage their activities. Though mainly a management position, Guildmasters are expected to be at the peak of their craft, and to pursue expanding it further so they may better instruct their guilds.

 

High Overseers

 

An assistant position to either the Guildmasters or the Yemekar's Pick directly, High Overseers help the core leadership of the guild manage operations of the workforce, as well as serving as optimal replacements for Guildmasters. They are also generally expected to remain true to their title and oversee lessons or labors for the guild alongside the other Overseers.

 

Overseers

 

An important rank for the growth of the guild, Overseers are any Worker who has learned enough and displayed the passion to pass their experience to the next generation of workers. Overseers are trusted to run expeditions and events in the name of the guild, and given access to many of its resources and knowledge.

 

Worker

 

The core of the workforce and the most valued rank, the average worker is the future of not only the guild but the entirety of Urguan. On their shoulders does the industry and honor of Yemekar fall, and they are entitled to dignity and respect to this reality.

 

Veterans

 

The retired workforce, those who may hold ranks of honor and skill within the guilds but are not held to the expectations of the worker nor receive the benefits of full guild membership. Nonetheless, a veteran is always offered a warm welcome back to the workforce.

Unlike the prospectors which have standardized quotas, in the White Anvil a craftsman is given commissions from the leadership of specific design and purpose. This does not mean to stifle creativity, and upon approval from a Forge Baron or the Forge Lord a smith could craft something of their own interest instead for their labor. These commissions are given on a weekly basis on a commissions board, and any member of the guild can only accept one commission at a time until it is finished. The higher their rank in the guild, the more commissions they are trusted to take. Each commission is paid a standard of 15 minas, though certain more complex or difficult commissions may have a set price higher.

Rather, they hold two major responsibilities: First, to fulfill commissioned works and create those magical items which are handed down to them by the leadership of the workforce. Second, to provide support to the other guilds by offering arcane improvements to their tools, work processes, or materials.
