# Gilds
## The Eichengilde (Oak Gild)
+ largest, broadest, and oldest faction
+ stated agenda:
- restore the Rhine Tribunal (and thereby the
Order of Hermes) to its former glory,
- to respect the traditions and wisdom of the Founders,
- to encourage magi to respect their elders
- work to leave a lasting legacy
- to shun the so-called wisdom from outside the Order of Hermes.
+ broad agenda => somewhat ineffective
In practice, its
main function is to ensure that the status
quo of the Tribunal is maintained by tying
up a large proportion of the votes that
might promote change. The Eichengilde
is lead by Murion, Prima of Bonisagus,
and is made up of magi who are mostly
older or more reserved; while all Houses
are represented, this gild particularly
attracts followers of Bonisagus, Guernicus,
and Tremere.
## The Weissdorngilde (Hawthorn Gild)
+ one of the oldest gilds, along with the Ash Gild and the Oak Gild.
+ agenda:
- protect the wild places and creatures from the mundanes
- avoid all unnecessary contact with mundanes
- punish those who intrude into the wildernesses
- promote understanding between magi and beasts
+ smallest gild, with a waning influence that is often opposed by
the Elder Gild, which has a similar interest but with a different focus,
thus diluting their combined power.
+ Urgen of Crintera is the leader
+ populated primarily by followers of Bjornaer,
especially those with a Wilderist philosophy.
## The Eschengilde (Ash Gild)
+ lead by Philippus Niger of Durenmar
+ magi should seek dominion over their lands
+ the Order of Hermes should be more forthright in its dealings with mundanes
+ magi should not need to hide in the wildernesses
+ the Order of Odin should be combated and destroyed
- not publicly admitted to, but is the prime focus of most
of the gild’s older members.
+ attracts aggressive magi, especially from Houses
Flambeau, Tremere, and Tytalus, and
+ magically powerful, not large enough to force their agenda
## The Holundergilde (Elder Gild)
+ split from Hawthorn Gild,
- soon after the early division in House Merinita
+ pursued its fae-focused agenda
+ preservation of the fae and promoting
friendly contact between magi and faeries.
+ primarily Merinita
+ virtually all the members of the covenants
of Irencillia and Dankmar are members.
+ A few followers of Bjornaer with extremely
strong Harmonist views are members of this gild,
to the derision of their Housemates.
+ Iacob of Irencillia is the leader
+ secretly promoting a religion conceived to return power back to the fae,
under the guidance of members of the Order
## The Lindengilde (Linden Gild)
+ Arising from the aftermath of the Schism War
+ founded mostly by former magi of Fengheld,
+ purpose:
- to increase co-operation and trust between magi
and covenants to the benefit of all
- to resolve both internal and external conflicts peacefully
- and to end the apathy and divisions in the Tribunal.
+ altruistic and well-regarded gild, although weak
- typical go-between faction
+ often overlooked
+ without their quiet diplomacy, the Tribunal would likely
have fractured long ago
The gild is currently lead
by Occultes of Durenmar, and consists of
a mixed assortment of followers of
Mercere, Jerbiton, Verditius, Tremere,
and Bonisagus (particularly those of
Trianoma’s lineage).
## The Apfelgilde (Apple Gild)
+ peaceful and friendly relations with mundanes
+ mages should work towards acceptance in the mundane world
- so that they no longer need to hide
+ magi should work to improve the lot of mundanes through teaching and trade
as well as magic
+ magi should be humble before the Lord
+ most recent faction and the weakest,
- substantial support from the covenants of Oculus Septentrionalis,
Triamore, and Fengheld
- beginning to make its presence known in the Tribunal.
+ Ilead by a triumvirate of Henri de Tours of Oculus Septentrionalis,
Wilhelm Weiss of Fengheld, and Daria la Gris of Triamore.
