Existing Guilds:
This is totally up to you. The guilds listed here have not been fleshed out on paper at all (In fact, they have not been discussed with current Cosmothean PbP'ers, nor have they been encountered - they are nothing more than a name to anyone but me (and several of them I haven't given a second thought yet, due to my other priorities), though a few are associated with Cosmothean races (feel free to ask me if you have any general questions about these).

You can either make up your own guild name and guild, or snag a name of one of the existing guilds and then flesh it out as you see fit (Note: Don't use the guild list in the Xanadu rulebook as many of those are off limits because while they aren't detailed yet online, I have descriptions for some of them already, and just haven't had time to put them online or are expanding them before posting. The guilds listed here are the only existing legal ones to use for this contest (though as I said, you are free to develop your own names and guilds. Using an existing name won't help you win the contest – having a great entry will.

I have some suggested alignments (but you can change them if you want). I also have some suggested locations for the guilds listed, but you can change that too in some cases, as appropriate (See map of the Southern Kingdoms). G= Good aligned; CE = Chaotic Evil, U = Unaligned or neutral; LE = Lawful Evil; LG = Lawful good.
