Courtesans Guild

The Courtesans Guild is one of the Merchant Guilds operating within the Virasana Empire. It is a union of courtesans and whores, not of pimps, and managing to join the guild is actually a ticket to a pretty good life.  
== Grades ==
Guild Courtesans are graded from A to E, roughly setting their prices and possible services. 
* E-class courtesans - healthy and accomodating, but don't expect them to be overly pleasant company. Usually streetworkers. 
* D-class - better looks and manners, can hold a conversation and / or offer more elaborate services. Main stock of guild brothels.
* C-class - all of the above, plus being good company even without sex. Will make you look good if brought to a commoner family occasion. 
* B-class - Good company, skilled entertainer and / or artist. Excellent style and manners, will make you look good if brought to a noble's event. 
* A-class - Excellent looks, intelligent, able and willing to serve as their master sees fit. Famously able to mold their personality to the requirements of their assignment. Often political players. 
There is only a handful of A-class courtesans active at any time, and many conaisseurs can list them by heart. 
== Snippets ==
* There is a persistent but very quiet rumor that it is also an umbrella union for the Assassins Guild and the Spymasters Guild, but these remain mostly unspoken.  
*Due to an inter-guild deal with the Psions Guild, the psions charge a hefty extra for any job inside a Courtesans Guild brothel, turning their already astromonically expensive services all but unobtainable. This is promoted as an additional layer of security and dicretion, but it also means that their establishments can be used as safe houses when on extremely good standing with the courtesans.
*Both Master Wesley, the personal secretary of the current Virasana Emperor as well as Master Enrique, the one of the Empress Mother, were members of the Courtesans Guild before they were bought as pets by their current employers.
