Dyemakers Guild

The Dyemakers Guild is the most influential trade guild in Regnis. They supply the many and varied colourful dyes that are Regnis' chief export.

Activities
As their name suggest, the Dyemakers are responsible for producing dyes. They are obligated to provide a certain number of dyes to the queendom in exchange for their surprising degree of autonomy and influence in Regnis, but the rest they sell freely.

The initiation process consists of multiple tests, including a knowledge test to identify a candidate's ability to differentiate between colours, and a practical trial where a candidate must retrieve a "rainbow feather" from a vague (and possibly meaningless) clue.

Existing members of the Dyemakers Guild often attempt to demonstrate their skill by creating vibrant or unique dyes and using them to colour banners and other ornaments, which are then hung around Valencia, giving the city its nickname: the "City of Colours."

Base of Operations
The Dyemakers are based out of the city of Valencia, located in central Regnis. The city has one central building, as well as numerous branch halls which tend to focus on one particular hue of dye.

Relationships
The continued existence of the Dyemakers Guild is largely dependent on the queendom, and despite their influence on the economy they still rely on Regnis' monarchy.

Occasionally a new guild of dye makers will appear in Regnis, which is dealt with very harshly by the Dyemakers Guild who have been given a measure of legal authority to deal with such competition.

History
Founded in the early days of the queendom of Regnis, the Dyemakers Guild was responsible for supplying the young monarchy with dyes for royal use, primarily the rich purples used to signify royalty. Some say that the Purple Spire, the iconic landmark of Solendis which is said to never fade in vibrance, was given colour by the Dyemakers Guild using a now-lost process.

Since then, they have become much more influential, especially in their home city of Valencia. The Dyemakers have a degree of political control in their city and are considered crucial to the economy of Regnis.
