The Golden Syndicate of Alras
-Merchant Guild
Our banner: Green for prosperity, harmony and eternity. White for purity. Gold for wealth.
We exist as a fiefdom of Alras, separate from the main city but still living under their rule. Our services offered include building, supply gathering, and warriors for hire.
The divisions:
Military division: Highly trained fighters (swords or archery of 75 plus- preferably/eventually) who wield fine weapons and armor into battle. Their protection however does not come cheap.
Supply corps division: Everyone is a member of this by default. Recruits start by providing materials for the guild and move on once they show promise as a builder or fighter.
Building division: Whether its construction around the Headquarters or a subcontracted construction project for the city, the building division should be capable of handling the task quickly and competently.
Positions are open in all divisions!
Pay scale:
At its core, the pay will be a percentage of the services rendered by a member. For gatherers they will be paid a percentage of the goods retail value that they turn in. The pay will vary based on economic conditions. Builders will be paid by percentage of a job completed, as estimated by their supervisor. Again, if they complete 100% of the project, the amount they are paid will be a percentage of the profit adjusted for materials and other overhead. Guards will be paid by the job ((when dispatched with the Alras guards for world events usually)), guards will not be paid for hunting monsters or manning gates.
Housing:
All members will be provided with housing and secure chests. The size of the housing will depend on rank but is yet to be determined. Officers and Assistants will probably have offices in a separate building from the main barracks.
Your housing is issued to you in 100% condition. You are not permitted to make modifications to the exterior or to build outside of the originally allotted structure size. ((no attics or basements without written approval of an officer)) The inside is yours to do with what you wish, please keep it tidy.
Recruitment:
Recruitment is currently open to all 3 divisions as well as the position of building division captain.

Why you'd like to join:
There will be a trial period with new recruits, they will begin with a chest and a bed in the barracks, and after proving their value and being promoted to one of the divisions they may be given a private room in the Quarters (another building with roomy well furnished single bedrooms, maybe 8x8)
A recruit can prove them self in several ways.
By earning 500 mina through the guild
By becoming proficient with a weapon (bow, sword, or axe) while training ((rping)) with the military division
By being very active and getting noticed for good work ethic ((and good RP skills))
((note the emphasis on RP skills for our recruits, those who don't hold up on that end may not be kept on and promoted.))
((Age and recruitment- Older members will usually be given preference in recruitment and promotion. This is for many reasons but mainly to enhance the cohesiveness of the guild as a whole by keeping stable officers in charge.))
Uniform:
Members of the Golden Syndicate are expected to stay in uniform at all times while in the compound or Alras. It is recommended to stay in uniform all the time. We would like our men to represent us everywhere they go and it may afford you a certain amount of diplomatic immunity.
