## Spread Far and Wide
The global network of guilds is a main driving force behind trade, both within a country and internationally. These organizations started sprouting soon after The Cataclysm, with the surviving craftsmen banding together in order to most effectively start rebuilding the world. In the time since, these groups have spread out across nations. Most guilds have split up into different chapters in order to maximize their presence and influence around the world. Because of their initial near-monopoly on crafting knowledge, the guilds have become an integral part of the world, membership of one near guaranteeing access to any country or city in the world.
Whenever anyone with money requires work done, they will begin their search at a guildhouse. Even if the guild doesn’t specialize in what they need, the guilds’ communication network is faster than anything else, making it easy for them to get the right people on the job. For the right price, of course.
