The Messenger’s Guild is made up of boys and girls ages 6-10. They are recruited as a “first-step” to other guilds. For each message delivered, they must report back on who the message was from, who it was delivered to, when it was delivered, and any other information. They are paid based on their ability to remember information and their success in delivering the message. Each guild member is periodically evaluated for the quality of his or her information. The better information they give, the more likely they are to get into a “real” guild. Members stay in this guild for an average of 2-3 years. The members of the Messenger’s Guild can be recognized by a small copper pin of an eagle, worn on the collar of their red vest. The guild has drop boxes for messages at various locations about the city. Collection times are listed on the boxes. Messages can also be dropped off at guild headquarters, or a servant can be sent to request the services of a Messenger. A Messenger may be hired at the cost of a copper piece to read the message to the recipient.
