Guilds

The Sermontil Guild Association is the backbone of industry and commerce in the Lockwood region, and largely the reason most settlers come to the Lake in the first place. The Guild Association is led by a council of leader representatives from each of the largest Guilds, who create a balance of power among each of the Guilds and settle disputes between and among all of Sermontil's Guilds.
== History ==
Because Lockwood, and Sermontil especially, fluctuates in power and control so often, it can be difficult to establish a true and linear history of the guilds in the city. It is, however, widely considered a fact that Sermontil's Craftsmen's Guilds were around since the foundation of the city hundreds of years ago, making it one of the older establishments in the region. It is generally accepted that the larger guilds are more storied, and the Mages Guild sees its long history as a point of pride, though even their records are not entirely accurate, since fable is often weaved into the history of each powerful mage. In modern times, the only people truly interested in the history of the region seem to be the Archaeologist sect of the Explorer's Guild, who dedicate their lives to the study of civilizations that predate even the Guilds. Resultantly, the history of the Guilds remains as tenuous and unclear as the balance of power today.
