Is the Wizards' Guild international

[JohnPaulB]

ITL p 60 says:

A city of 25,000 or more will be the headquarters of a Grand Chapter, which takes in all the nearby Chapters and Senior Chapters. There is no formal organization above the Grand Chapter level except for the (rarely-called) Allmoot - a gathering of all the available Grand Masters to discuss some severe problem.

1. Is there an overriding Cidri Wizards' Guild which has junior chapters all over the world?... the worldwide Top Dog corporation organization.
2. Is the world of Cidri made up of many independent Wizards' Guilds by continent or country, each one a Top Dog corporation for its domain.
3. Is there some other type of guild structure?

• If it is Independent Wizards' Guilds by country, does the king have power over the guild or does the guild's power make it completely independent of rulership influence?
• If it is Independent Wizards' Guild by country, is there an overriding UN type Wizards' Guild agency for ironing out different WG alliances and upsets and promotions?

Yes, I know its up to the GM to decide these things, but just trying to get a grasp of the situation. (I'm sure we've covered this in this forum before, but searching it is sometimes difficult.)

So, is there a Wizards' Guild for each nation that does its own regulationing of that country's wizards? Let's say Elyntia's Wizards' Guild. Tanander would have had its own (and probably there is still one extant in the area). Ardonirane and Ars Vaskul might have their own, but Ryuvatar would refuse to have one.

If each nation has its own Grand Chapter, then the norms of that nation would probably dictate Guild customs for that nation. That would mean that National Guild regulated its own members.

Would one national Wizards' Guild negotiate with another Wizards's Guild for mutual exchange?
If Joe Wiz of Ardonirane goes to Elyntia's Kel, would they accept his Ardonirane membership card and can he have his wizard's funds transferred from Ardonirane to Kel easily or would membership not be recognized and red-tape?

Any comments?
