Guilds of Holy Mission

There are a wide variety of styles and concepts for the guilds of Holy Mission. In this primarily medieval environment, there are many standard guilds in place and some unique only to this MUD.
Changing a guild before level 10 does not cost any penalty. Sometimes it takes trying a few guilds out before you find the one that is right for your character. Beyond level 10, a player must first kill themselves down to level 9 before they can change their guild.
Before creating a character, players should read the help files on each race and carefully think of the limitations they may have. Certain races have advantages is certain guilds, like an elven mage or a human jedi. Certain races are not permitted in some of the guilds.
