CARZUANI'S GUILD (Tailor's, Weaver's, Spinner's, and Dyer's Guild)
An extremely ancient guild, one of the first, that derived its name from the
patren saint of Tailors and Weavers, Carzuani.  The religion that included
Carzuani, among other patren saints of various professions has long died
out, though many of the names are still in use.  The official guild that
most closely resembles the current version, originated in Triylar in Daere
domain. 

The guild won't allow any sewing businesses unless the owner's are members
of the guild.  The guild however, doesn't attempt to regulate sewing or
knitting done as a hobby or, in most women's case, because it is a proper
thing to do.  That would be impossible.  People need only to belong to the
guild if they are planning to sell their sewing skills for a profit.

The guild also acts as a "copyright", protecting clothing and weaving ideas
among its members.  For this protection, dues are paid bimonthly and drawn
designs must be submitted to the guild.  The clothing "copyright", or  only
lasts for four months, but considering the rate fashion changes this is more
than sufficient.  

The weavers don't have a "copyright" since that is impossible.  But many
weavers have their own technique for getting certain clothes.  As members of
the guild, weavers are required to teach one other person, usually the
successor of the business, and leave written instruction about their
techniques with  the guild so the knowledge is not lost.

Because of this "copyright", or Cazini's Law, as it is called, a person who
has absolutely no talent with the needle or loom can be a member of the
guild.  All they need is a good eye for details and a very good visual
memory.  It is they who decide if a person  is copying another's idea.  

Another thing the guild does is to post lists of people looking for
employment who belong to the guild.  Those in the guild looking for
apprentices, assistants and such, usually come here first.  Most of the more
succesful members got started this way.

There are no real ranks in this guild, though there are titles, many of
which are taken from the old religion afore mentioned.  These titles are
usually used only by guild members.  Occasionally they are taken as sir
names and some even take them as their first.  For example a dyer might be
called Nara Dyer.  This is discouraged because it makes book keeping difficult.

*A'CAZINI* Head of the Cazini, in the city of Triylar in Daere domain,
current A'Cazini, Cazini Orteir Nizu, acts as Cazini for the city and that
domain, empty title
*CAZINI* Head Administrator of the guild, deals with other guild heads,
and decides punishments for those who break Cazini's Law time and      time
again, what will be done with excess money from dues,  Current
Ralengarde Cazini, Cazini Ynara Weaver
*ZINI* other administrators, handle finances, book keeping, other
administrative details to minor for the Cazini,  often are retired tailors
and weavers.
*RUNCA* "watchers" those who manage Cazini's Law and keep weavers
written techniques safe and confidential, excellent memory and good
eye sight is a must
*NIZU* Tailors, dressmakers, seamstresses, ect., people who don't
weave, watch, or administor
*NARA*Weavers, dyers, and spinners thrown together because the
weavers usually do all three

Unlike the Bard's Guild or the Healer's Guild, Carzuani's Guild has no real
headquarters or training facilities.  Traditionally Triylar is the supposed
headquarters, but that is really a meaningless title.

The guild instead organizes by domain each with its own chosen Headquarters.
  
Daere=Triylar (Traditional HQ for CG)
Keldarra=Ralengarde
Marrid=Tressa
Telnor=Corry
Whiteriver=Dunsbro
Norwall=Voldora
Falagand=Oakenhold
Cleft= <unestablished>

For every population center, there is a branch of the guild.  Each town
guild has its own Cazini.  That Cazini will report anything of note to the
Cazini at the HQ city in that town's domain.  That is usually done
concerning disputes between guild branches in different towns.  So, despite
tradition, each domain is like its own country, with the Cazini of that HQ
city A'Cazini in all but name.

The only real authority the A'Cazini has any more is as the head of the rare
Council of Carzuani.  This council meets only over matters that affect all
the domains in the DragonLands (over matters of the guild and otherwise.)
For these meetings, the Carzini of all the HQ cities in DL meet in Triylar
and debate over whatever was urgent enough to warrant a meeting.  The
A'Cazini presides and gets to cast the last vote if a vote is called for.
The meetings are so rare that they are much remarked upon.

The reason Carzuani's Guild has no training falculties is simply, almost
every woman and quite a few of the men are skilled in one way or another at
the trades the guild regulates.  It is considered proper for a woman of any
statis to have some skill at sewing.  It is pointless to train people who
already know what they are doing.  If they want to learn something else,
they apprentice.
