If you could form your own guild in the Elder Scrolls universe what would it be and where would it be based? Would you form a group of assassin's and try and compete with the Morag Tong and Dark Brotherhood? Would you form a hunters guild who hunt the fiercest beasts in all of tamriel? Or would you form an alchemy guild and spend your days chasing butterflies?
Oooooo, I like this thread! Well, hmmmmmmmmmm, if I could start a guild...it would probably be a jester's guild! I have noticed in my adventures across Tamreil, there are hardly any jesters! It's an epidemic I tell you! They would be stationed were they would be hired, places were the rich reside, so I would imagine the Imperial City would be the base of operations! All jester's primary goal would be to entertain of course, but they would all receive a small amount of illusion training and perhaps a little on the teachings of our one and true lord, Sheogorath! I bet the Wabbajack would liven up a king's day!
I'd have a Crafters Guild and it would be based in Orsinium. It would be the place where they train the most advanced smiths in Tamriel in the ways of metallurgy, forging, tempering, mining, architecture and transmutation. They would also be in charge of retrieving and studying advanced dwemer tech from ruins as well as keeping mines clear of monsters.
I would make a guild that acts compeltly neutral in matters not unlike those that the Vigilants and Dawnguard deal with - Mainly vampires, lycanthropes, daedra and other monsters. Unlike the former, however, we would cure first, purge second. If a vampire or werewolf was seeking a cure and sought a peaceful existence, we would let them live but would strike them down the minute they harmed an innocent.
Think Witchers, but more related to TES Lore
