Guilds

From LSWiki

A guild is an adventurer's greatest ally, providing training, access to unique abilities, and other resources. Many guilds operate throughout the world of Lost Souls. Some can be left once joined, but for others, membership is for life; one can only be a member of one guild. While at least some information is widespread about most guilds, there are more secretive organizations as well.
