Guilds

[Scot Eddy]

Greetings from Ld Jovian,

I would like some help clarifying some things. We're trying to breath 
new life into our A & S in my shire and are trying to get some more 
guilds off the ground. Here are some questions we have come up with...

What are guilds?
What are their purpose?
What do you do in them?
How are they run?
How often should they meet? 
What are some "basic" guilds that each group should have?
How are reports handled?
What is reported?
How do the guild leaders get info and assistance?

Any help would be invaluable.

Grace and Peace,

Jovian Skleros
