Guilds & Colleges

1) In order to receive the honors of practicing a craft, the craft must be organized into an aproved college or guild, which strives to enhance the period atmosphere of the clan. All recognized clan Ceirds/Scolaires are to strive to enhance the period atmosphere of the clan through their craft. Each Guild or College shall be governed by a guild master, who is the proven best craftsman in his field, and advances period studies by working as closely to the period methods of his craft as possible. Some suggested crafts are smithing, woodworking and armor making.

2) The Guild or College shall be approved by a 2/3rd vote.

3) A Ceird/Scolaire must be a Clan member and either elected to the position by the Clan or by the Ceirds/Scolaires of that Guild or College.

4) A Ceird/Scolaire must produce at least one item a year and present it to the Clan.

5) One guild master is chosen each year per craft at Imbolc by reccomendation of the guild and approval of the clan.
