In my own fact-finding excursions, I seem to recall that Guilds had a number of functions. In terms of modern day, you can probably equate them with the Unions of today. Membership into a guild had many perks and it did require payment of a fee upfront as well as monthly dues. Some of the things a guild did (that I can remember off the top of my head) include: - regulation of number of practitioneers - arbitration among members - retirement benefits - death benefits for widows and heirs - establishment of common standards and practices within field - opportunity for practitioneers to meet and mingle
