 ==Guilds in World Generation==
-Guilds are formed in world generation, by civilizations that value [[Personality value#CRAFTSMANSHIP|craftsmanship]], such as [[dwarf|dwarves]] and [[human]]s. These guilds will have various [[historical figure]]s take up positions in them, as well as build themselves guildhalls in settlements, and have also been observed to occasionally help construct monasteries for [[Temple|religious groups]]. There are always four possible positions in the generated guilds: A Leader (dean/doyen, handles negotiations), an Alderman (manages work orders), a Steward (handles trade) and a Clerk/[[Record keeper]] (see [[Variable_positions#Guilds| variable guild positions]] for further technical details about the positions). The formation of a guild will always also result in the construction of a guild hall at the same time, but the guild positions (which are created with the formation of the guild) might not get filled for a long time (and stay empty) or only some of them getting filled with a historical figure during world generation. In most cases the site, where the guild hall is constructed, is a Mountain Halls or Town, but occasionally a guild can also be found at a Forest Retreat (controlled by humans or dwarves when the guild was founded and not by the [[elf| tree-huggers]]).

 The guild positions are not yet available within fortress mode (and are in fact superfluous as the responsibilities are already performed by the recordkeeper, manager, broker and mayor/expedition leader of any dwarven fortress), and thus, guilds made in fortresses don't get them.

 Shortly after establishment, the guild will petition for the construction of a guildhall, where its members will socialize and hold [[skill]] demonstrations, slowly training them in the skill. However, any guildhall can be built at any time, and even if a guild is not established, any one with the right skill can still hold public demonstrations for idlers; this is useful for having dwarves teach each other [[strange_mood|desirable]] skills. If a guild grows to enough members (25 by default, but can also be changed), they will petition for a Grand guildhall.
