Arcovia

Maesters of Game of Thrones, the Spacing Guild of Dune and the Inquisition.

In centuries past, the Arcovian guild rose from obscurity to dominate the field of Essealas' politics. A rare bird known as the céon would be discovered and trained to carry messages from city-state to city-state quickly and intelligently.

The Arcovian Guild is comprised of scholars, scientists, physicians, inquisitors, and highly successful information brokers.

{Insert RP Description: Information brokers as well as the world’s scholars, scientists, and physicians. Birds only travel from a city-state to the guild city and back, never between city-states. The city is a multicultural city set on a mountain. The guild is highly conservative and enforces laws against “human corruption”. The Guild is not played by players, instead will be part of the admin’s ability to insert interesting quirks into the main plotline.}

The guild is a strictly conservative guild that enforces its laws against information theft, intimidation, promiscuity, graft, and drugs. For the most part, these laws are only enforceable within the city limits. However, as they are the information traders of the entire world, they have a broad reach and the ability to bring pressure to bear when they choose to act.

Of course, the entire premise of the sim sets the player in this city where the only way to survive and gain the information their home cities need is to bribe, manipulate, seduce, steal and intimidate.

Medicine

Arcovian medicine is advanced. Arcovian healers have access to surgical grade anesthesia and hospital grade antibiotics. Obviously, nothing that requires electronics or imaging is available.
