Royal Court (Council Members)

Have many of the powers of the king divided among them, "seperation of powers." They rule when the king is unable. They help king to make important decisions and offer their own opinions on how things should be dealt.

These are the highest ranking, most-trusted, members of the court who are not on council. Well trusted and consulted for advice. Live inside the castle.
 

Below the wizards but still trusted in the guild. Long-standing trustworhy members.
 

Mid-way members who've earned some of the guild's trust. Trusted to keep order and peace and help promote the guild.
 

Members who are noted by the guild to have promise as upstanding guild members.
 

Everyone who joins the guild. The ones "governed" who make the guild worth having! Everyone starts here. (Even the king did!)
