An Introduction to the Mabeat Guild, The 7 Rites, and Contractors
The Above Image is the Symbol of the Mabeat Guild.
The 7 Largest Guilds within the Universe are known as “The 7 Rites” each Rite is the Size of a Large Civilization. With War of The Guilds leading to Bloodshed as Great as some of the Largest Wars. People who work for the Guilds are known as either Contractors or Mercs… Depending on the Specialization.
Each Guild specializes in a Certain Work for their Contractors/Mercs, these Request are in the form of Commissions which the Guild Handles by designating their own Contractors or Associate Groups(Far Smaller, like an Office in Size at best) for the Commission.
In the Grand Spectrum of the System. There really is no difference between Guilds and Groups. The Guilds are just way Bigger than Groups.
As Per Declaration by the Mabeat Guild, The Pecking Order that all Guilds Follow is as Such: Associate Contractors -> Rited Contractors & Associate Managers -> Branch Managers -> Directors -> Guild President
Each Branch has a Manager which employs Contractors, In an Area, each Manager is under a Director for which only 10 Can Exist, and each Director works under The President. With Ranks with the Prefix: Associate, this means they aren’t apart of the Rite Proper but are under an Associate Group that are Associates(Works under) The Rite.
Contractors and Mercs usually Work within Groups of People know as “Groups”. These Exist since Solo work for Contractors is considered Idiotic for anything below Keter, and there’s really no Benefits from going Solo rather than Personal Freedom. The 7 Counts are a Daat Grade Group. There are Two Types of Group’s: Associate Group’s & Independent Groups. Associates are under a Rite, and Independent are simply Independent, They are Recognized by the Mabeat Guild thankfully but they get Jobs less often than Associates since Independents usually do more Niche Jobs.
Contractors are each Given a Rank based on The Jewish Tree of Life & Death by The Mabeat Guild(there’s no in-lore reason why, but for Meta-Reasons, it’s because the Mabeat Guild is based on Jewish), it’s not necessarily Power level, but in how Good they are, The Ranking is From (Malkuth -> Yesod -> Hod -> Netzach -> Tiferet -> Gevurah -> Chesed -> Binah -> Chokmah ->Keter). And for Threats are ranked on How much they Disturb the Normalcy of The Universe, Ranking from (Lilith -> Gamaliel -> Samael -> A’Arab Zaraq -> Thagiriron -> Golachab -> Gha’ Agsheklah -> Satariel -> Ghogiel -> Thaumiel). Both Rankings have a Special Rank for The Best of the Best Contractors or Greatest Threats, Daat For Contractors and Belial for Threats.
0.) The Mabeat Guild - The Fore-Seeing
(Kolam Nisharim Bembet Yediat Hakel).
About: The Mabeat Guild is the Absolute Authority over the other Rites, each Rite May Conflict with the other, but all Listen to the Fore-Seeing. Also Established every Law that Any Guild must Follow. The most Important Law that all Rites Follow is the “Contractual Obligation Act” Where Every Rite is REQUIRED to Act upon a Promised Contract/Commission. The Contractual Obligation Act also holds multiple Clauses to help Contractors: The Unforeseen Disaster Clause; Where during a Commission; If there is a Threat that happens to be way out of League For the Group tasked with Dealing with it, They are Permitted to Leave the Job Early and have it Tasked to a More Capable Group for the Commission. And The Innate Competency Clause; Which is mainly meant to protect Lower Grade Contractors from Threats Far out of their League by Giving them a Way Out.
Work: Usually the Most Dangerous Tasks for all Rites are done by the Mabeat, Jack of All Trades, Master of All.
This is very much based of Project Moon; Contractors are Fixers, Rites are Associations, Groups are Offices, The Mabeat Guild is Hana Association, Contractor Grades are Fixer Grades(Daat = Color), Threat Ratings are just Hazard Ratings(Belial = High Tier Star of the City to maybe Impuritas Civitatis)
