The Mangai

The Mangai is the association of all guilds. The Mangai’s principal function is to

regulate guilds, settle disputes between them, organize and regulate town markets and

fairs, and lobby with governments concerning guild rights and privileges. The

Mangai operates under the Charter of the Mangai, a law enacted by most civilized

governments, which fosters and protects the monopolies of guilds.

A Mangai chapter is comprised of (at least) one representative of each local guild.

This assembly generally elects an executive council. Although it wields enormous

power, the Mangai stays out of politics. Governments respond by limiting their

involvement in guild affairs to taxation.
