World's Cultural Guild

The World’s Cultural Guild, is an unofficial guild run primarily by Terradore. It was formerly the World Religious Union and before that the Anti-Segrist Coalition. The Guild as it is today is merged with Welmast’s Book-Traders and other former guilds as a conglomerate of many services, focusing on Events, Books and Book Trading, Lore, Religions, Museums and Libraries, and other forms of Trade. The Guild is best known for its immensely popular worlds fair events, of which one took place on each Rathnir and Eldham before their end.

The Guild's first form was the Anti Segra Coalition, Terradore’s vision of fulfilling Jubal Il-Surs prophecy of Segra's defeat at the hands of a spiritually united Eldham. His idea was to align Eldham’s largest religions to ultimately combine their forces and summon a single deity to confront Segra. 
The primary members of the Coalition were Terradore’s Cakeists, The Ratists and Rattican under Sirendrowned, and Cubism brought on by JimJam. These were three of the most active and influential of Eldham’s Religions and although they alone did not have the numbers to achieve the goal, their union sought to entice other smaller religions into joining them. This was wildly successful, leading to a snowball effect in which the vast majority of Eldham religions and players aligned with the coalition.
With their numbers met, the coalition sought to enact their plan. They decided to work together to summon the Rat King, as despite not being the most loved or worshiped deity, was by far Eldhams most recognizable. The Coalition's efforts came to a head at the final confrontation with Segra, in which all the people of Eldham chanted the rat king’s name. Using the people’s combined power, SpeakerOfRatKing and Sirendrowned confronted Segra, channeling the combined voices to summon the Rat King, who destroyed her in a final dramatic moment.

In the wake of Segra’s defeat, Sirendrowned sought to continue the Coalition’s Story. Under guidance from Terradore and the other Coalition Leaders he reorganized the group into the World Religious Union. He was near-unanimously voted and appointed as it’s Pontifex, setting into motion the Mugen Trials, in which the remaining Segrists and Segra supporters were prosecuted for their involvement with the War Goddess. The Union was quite successful, at its height having the following member groups: Ratism, Cakeism, Cubism, Clockism, Chaos Authority, Faxemis Angelae, The Way of the Will, Cerdo-Nevism, Salranism, Order of Varenai, Drakovas, Ligarnios, Jormism, Creed of Sotiría, Nyr Nostikur, Sylfaeism, The Swarm, Sagaism, Solonism. Despite its high member count the overall focus of the Union began shifting towards events rather than Religion.
== First World’s Fair (Eldham World’s Fair) ==
The idea of the world’s fair had long been discussed by the Unions leaders but finally became a reality when Terradore stepped forward to fully realize it. The World’s Fair took place at the inauguration of the Featherfall Library in Eldham. It involved dozens of nations and groups setting up booths and stalls to showcase their individual cultures. It was at this World’s Fair that the invention of the Catapult was first shown off. Later events included a Cake Drop and a Pvp Tournament as well as the introduction of the first wearable hats to the winners.

After the success of the World’s Fair, Siren returned the reins of the group to Terradore who once more rebranded it into a culture focused guild. Terradore then led the guild going forward, merging it with the Book Traders Guild and partnering with Maple's Adventurers Guild and several others. 
Eventually a second world’s fair was announced, this time taking place in Rathnir. The grounds for this fair were a larger and more grand construction, being located in Dawnhold. The Rathnir World’s fair included several events including games and contests in which players could win millions of gold worth of prizes.
