Guildmasters and Syndics

All masters are members of the local guild chapter with one vote. They elect from

among their number a Board of Syndics who then appoint a Guildmaster from among

themselves. These officers are responsible for the day to day administration of the

chapter and, except in the case of very wealthy guilds, continue to be practicing

masters. They usually receive a stipend for their administrative role. The

Guildmaster also represents the guild in the local chapter of the Mangai and at any

regional conventions the guild may hold. The way in which a specific guild chapter is

actually run depends mostly on the personalities involved.
