Head of the House
A civilian-based, non-military force established to help keep the peace and maintain laws. A magistrate is the true role they fill but have become more and more hands on as the guild evolved. Houses are founded where communities want them, and are labelled by number in order of establishment starting with House 1 in Zakhedjet's capital. The guild's identifying logo is a unicorn head couped atop a torse.
Houses are often affectionately referred to as stables, referencing the original constables who were stable keepers. The origins in that being the stable keepers in the past having to constantly solve various mysteries on where exactly their client or official's property has properly fucked off to.
⛨ Heraldic Arms
Ancestry, Aegis, Accord
HeraldHeraldry Record Keepers
Dedicated to maintaining, recording, and safekeeping all lineage and ancestry records as well as documentation of coat of arms. Coats are used by nearly everyone as a means of identification regardless of nobility or ranking, so anyone can embellish their belongings with their coat of arms. Some are more obvious than others, a job title for example: constables are almost always instantly recognised by their unicorn charge made of senrivard metal.
Records of coat of arms and lineages are usually highly localised to their cities and lands but once the aeriform was established these records were given access to from other locations. They are also very locked and private and only a herald has access once given permission by at least two other heralds.
⛯ Keepers of Ancestral Hearts
Protect Your Day
Khe'heb'ka / KhebFlower Guardian of Life
Khe'heb'ka, or Kheb for short, are like a community battle medic that can also perform your death rituals. They also become involved in rituals pertaining to marriage and birth, so they are seen at every stage of life. And to each their own, as some will stay rooted in their community or culture, while others will wander the lands offering assistance where there is a clear need for such a leader or healer.
Their lives belong to the masses, the heb as their patron, a type of io that is believed to be the protector of the flames of life. The heb also represents their knowledge and wisdom, their ability to use these before ever resorting to conflict. The symbolism is derived from the relation between heb and bennu, living in bennu territory and benefitting from their protection if heb give out warning calls of predators. Their guild name originally refers to the Djeart belief of the Iriteb, that all living beings belong to the Keeper, and that the Khe'heb'ka simply help this process continue. Even if they don't share old Djeart traditions the wont for helping the community and keeping people safe is present and is basically the only requirement for joining.
They truly are scholars and healers in the community but they really do often resort to bludgeoning an opponent. There's room for undignified violence in the case of wild aeon and verdigris attacks against them, though in the case for violence against other taothomet it is usually ruled as justified by Kheb. Otherwise, open violence towards the community gets them immediately revoked of their status and banned from the guild.
⌬ Nova
Novel Becomes Normal
MachinorEngineers, Mechanics, Inventors
What is new eventually becomes normal. Advancers of new technology, anyone with a passion for improving technology is invited to this guild. Many who join do so to gain funding for new inventions, research, and the like, and the guild often holds technological fairs to have new inventors showcase their ideas and find backers.
A uniqueness to this guild is the fact that when its country of origin’s government collapsed, its leader and top-ranking members poured funding into stabilising the country, and was given pseudo leadership till things normalised. When the country was once again able to select its leaders, they immediately picked the head of Nova. The governing body and the guild became inseparable, owing much of its success to its industrial complex.
Ghaartera, today, has been given back to its peoples and is thriving on its current leaders, which they owe to remaining the manufacturing headquarters of much of the nova technology being used across Umeon.
⊜ Sojourn
Seek Your World
SojournerScribes, Journalists, Photographers
The Sojourn are dedicated to documenting anything and everything on Umeon through wildlife photography, photojournalism, and any various media that commits itself to studying and archiving all forms of life on the planet. Most join this guild to help bring protections to themselves while filming and archiving events, places, aeon and verdigris. This can be for receiving proper access to restricted people or places for journalistic, anthropological, or other reasons. This also gives them access to receiving a guardian in the form of a government appointed babysitter or even a Khe'heb'ka.
