This article is about an older version of DF.

Once the economy has activated, if a particular profession is sufficiently prominent within your fortress, whether from having a large quantity of workers or from having completed a sufficient number of jobs, a guild leader noble will arrive as a migrant. From that point forward, if said dwarves are not given enough work to do, they will meet with their guild leader to complain about the lack of work. The guild leaders will then meet with the Mayor and make requests in favor of their guild members.

At the beginning of each season, the Mayor will respond to the most frequent requests by either raising the guild's wages or by making a mandate "that certain jobs be completed".

The following guilds exist:

Completing mandated guild jobs will give the guild leader a happy thought and boost the guild's morale, while ignoring guild jobs will give the guild leader an unhappy thought and lower the guild's morale. Unhappy guilds can be dangerous - if a guild is unhappy enough, the leader will order a work slowdown, during which all workers within the guild will deliberately perform their jobs significantly slower than usual.
