Submitted to the Royal Council of Aetherra<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any citizen wishing to establish a guild, faction, or organized group within the realm must submit a proposal for review by the Royal Council. This helps maintain consistency within the lore while allowing players to develop new stories and organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
