Question 13
How are things transported within the city and mines of Knurlkyth?

Answer 13
There are a large number of mountain roads that are intended to facilitate trade have also been used for interlevel transportation. Complaints about being forced to travel outside have been more or less continuous since the founding of the city. About a hundred years ago, a bright inventor came up with a complicated system of hydraulic elevators for use with interlevel transportation. After smaller scale tests in mines proved promising, the process was extended to the urban areas. This proved a costly mistake. About ten years ago, the Committee approved a large spiral highway within the mountain. Work on the highway tunnel is continuing despite cost overruns and delays.

Question 10A
What's the 12th guild? Are there unrecognized guilds?

Answer 10A
12) The Guild of the Glassworkers - Confusingly, this guild does not do any work with glass (that's the smelters business). Instead, it refers to the fact that these workers are the secondary workers at the greenhouses. They represent a motley crew of entertainers, bartenders, window washers, attendants, prostitutes and the like that primarily operate out of the glass houses. They also represent those below. Recently, they have adopted the lawyers, insurance agents and stock brokers that often are found cutting deals in trendy ale & tea houses up above. They are often not seen engaging in politics or insults, as those who live in glass house should not throw stones. They were added to avoid ties on The Workers' Bench.

U1) The Unseen Guild - This guild takes great pains to conceal evidence of its existence. It is unclear whether or not they are simply a pack of thieves and other scum, or sophisticated spy ring, probably operating for the government, or perhaps an enemy power. It is possible that it could be a spy ring that supports itself through criminal enterprise. Lately it has been involved in exporting a narcotic extracted from a rare variety of mushrooms. It is unclear where these mushrooms are found, it is possible they are grown below the lake.
