Sovereign Archguild of Master Titancrafters of Pytharnia
Based in Pytharnia and the South Jaggudorns, the Sovereign Archguild of Master Titancrafters of Pytharnia emerged after the Great Sky War and exerted greater and greater control over titancrafters in Pytharnia and especially the Empire of Magdala where the Emperor granted the Archguild much autonomy over guildmembers throughout the Empire. Thrain and Medibgö cooperated as well. The dwarven states had their own state-sponsored guilds for titancraft and accepted the controls of the Dwarven Dragonrail Guild of Pytharnia which was granted charters by the nations of southern Pytharnia. The Dwarven Dragonrail Guild of Pytharnia (DDGP) in principle was subject to the Sovereign Archguild of Titancrafters.
The Archguild requires its members to keep all knowledge of titancraft they learned through the guild secret and proprietary. The imperial charter given to the guild empowers it to enforce its regulations as a kind of internal government and police force. The Archguild is often at odds with the Aurician Empire and even with the government of the Empire of Magdala. Aurice and its corpora mercia do not have a tight, cartel-like authority over titancraft activities.
The Archguild directs and controls numerous guilds that develop, service, and manufacture titancraft technology, including the Dwarven Dragonrail Guild of Pytharnia. In practice, the power of the Dwarven Dragonrail Guild and the cross-influence of the two organizations made them equal in dignity and they cooperate as a cartel, despite rivalry of officers for power between the two organizations.
Lord Brechara Kebrin is the current Grandmaster of the Archguild.
Worldmaker's Notes
The lack of cooperation and often open hostility between the titancraft developing corpora mercia of Aurice and of the southern Pallathantic and the Sovereign Archguild of Titancrafters enabled Nesbriana’s Revolution to resist efforts to subdue it.
During the Pytharnian Revolution, the Archguild was abolished in Magdala and replaced with a government board of regulators filled by members of the various corpora mercia.
