The Guild's Charter

Let it be known that We, Fernando and Ianthe, King and Queen of the Eastern Kingdom, do hereby grant Our permission and approval for the formation of a Kingdom-wide Soothsayers’ Guild, the purpose of said Guild being to encourage the study and practice of all Medieval forms of divination.

The Guild members shall share their knowledge of the history of various forms of saying Sooth and offer all other Guild members the service of teaching whatever forms of this Art in which they have sufficient mastery. Further, the Guild shall have in its possession a library of books dealing with the arts of sooth-saying which shall be open to all Guild members.

Guild members shall also agree to abide by a code of Ethics, to wit: that no member shall within the Guild or publicly encourage or in other wise impose upon the attentions of any other members of the Kingdom any religious or occult beliefs or practices that they may personally hold and may or may not consider related to their saying of sooths; that no Guild member shall practice their Art for fighters before a Tourney or War on in any other wise make predictions that can affect a fighter’s confidence and thereby unfairly influence his performance; that no Guild member shall lie about the portents they see through the practice of their Arts, but if they deem it wise to hide the hidden truths which they see, refuse to give a reading at all in certain areas under question.

The skills and talents of Guild members in the Arts of Soothsaying shall be at the service of the Crown, should Their Graces desire them and provided it is convenient to the guild members

Therefore, to the purpose of establishing this Soothsayers’ Guild as an official Kingdom-wide Guild in the Eastern Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. we sign this charter.
