Wordsmith Guild
Lyceum Chater
Purpose:
The Lyceum is a group of individuals with a talent and passion for writing. We are the City's masters of the written word: scribes, historians, journalists, and even artists. We are the stewards of the Archive of Planes and the Convergence Museum.
Once a month the Lyceum will hold a bardic meeting or special event.
WordSmith Seekers:
-Each Seeker must have Inscribe. -Each Seeker will be mentored by one of the Wordsmiths. -Each Seeker will perform a series of 5 mini-quests written by their mentor. (See 'Upkeep Duties' for some quest examples) -Fast track exceptions for contributions prior to mentoring. (Only 1-2 will count out of the 5 required quests) -A written support or verbal support during meetings must be obtained from the majority of the current Wordsmiths. The Seekers' contributions will be graded based on effort, quality, and clear content, as well as spelling and grammar.
Mentors:
Each Mentor must keep track of their Seeker's progress and update the rest of the Lyceum regularly.
Upkeep Duties:
Interviewing Journalist work (news articles) Historian work (history documentation) Poetry & Fictional stories Art commissions Lyceum related events/projects Mentoring Archival Work
- Once a month every Mark holder must complete the equivalent of a mini-quest, but is urged to do more.
- Three months of inactivity (being absent from the City) will result in the removal of the Mark, as well as stagnation while dreaming (not contributing).
- Returning Wordsmiths -from this city- must undergo one admittance task to regain their Mark and Archive privileges. This task will be decided upon by the current Wordsmiths.
Oath:
I, [name], hereby swear to uphold the duties of the WordSmiths and honor the written word. I promise to keep the integrity of my Mark intact and to never present a known falsehood as truth within my writing. I understand that this is both an honor and obligation, and will not seek to use this Mark to elevate myself above others.
