Not to be a critic, but shouldn't the druid's guild have a non-metallic name since they shun metal objects?

Oh I got some!

- Red Sleeves (Magic guild. All members have red sleeves ;) )
- Keepers of the Hive (Druid Guild. Connected to hive animals)
- Pseudo Hands (Theif or Magic Guild. Pseudo means false, so it seems to imply either illusionary magic, or the quickness of the hand of a theif)
- Radish Renegades (Farmers or Outlaw Guild)
- Order of Mana (Magic Guild. I made this from playing a lot of Secret of Mana :D )
- The Green Leaves (Ranger or Druid Guild. Maybe even a Rogue guild)
- The <Color> Troupee (Bard Guild. Travelers Guild?)
- The Kaleidoscope Seven (Well, implies there are only 7 members... but you could tweek it a little I guess)

edit: Couldn't spell kaleidoscope :rolleyes: :D

Are you actually looking for names for *guilds* here, because if you are then surely what you're looking for are things like

- The Guild of Master Craftsmen
- The Guild of Masons
- The Guild of Carpet Merchants and Allied Trades
- The Guild of Weavers
- The Guild of Coopers...

And so on...

A guild, after all, is a quite specific concept - kind of a proto-trade union more than anything else.
