Guild's Square

The Guild's Square is a section of the Commerce District of Lockvalar which houses the various Guilds of the Empire. Not as big as the other sections of the district, the Square is rather vast, although tightly packed like the streets around it. At the centre is the Guild House, an almost senate like building that acts as the head quarters for the Union of Guilds. Here they discuss working conditions, pay, abuse of the working class etc. Some guilds are more powerful than others, simply by the grace of wealth.
The requirement to form a guild is to have your craft recognized by the Imperial Commerce Board as a contributer to the economy of the Empire. The standing of guilds is split into three qualities; Major, Minor and Unofficial. The Major guilds are some of the eldest and wealthiest of the guilds and as such have major input into the running of the Commerce District. The Minor Guilds such as the Butcher's Guild give the average subject's trade protection in the Union of Guilds as well as representation. The unofficial guilds are only acknowledged in passing, despite the official paperwork making no mention of them, the rest of the guilds fully accept the presence of these associations. These include the Governess' Group for the Advancement of Women which ironically is a front for a unified stance on prostitution that while awful, achieved fair pay and self-employment for the city's whores.
