>Also also, I see greatness in you. You should set your ambitions very high. What are the most prestigious positions in the Technomage Guild? How do politics work in your time?
Oops. I prematurely ended Chapter 1 before answering this. But this is something that should be answered here.
The highest and most prestigious position in the guild is Grandmaster, the leader of the mages' guild. The Grandmaster dictates how the guild runs, what policies should be set, and basically runs it like the C.E.O of a corporation. He holds no political power, but he has the entire finances of the Guild at his disposal.
Another prestigious position is guildmaster. If the guild were considered an army, then the guildmasters are the generals, or feudal lords. There are currently five "factions," guildmasters whose followers do what they can in the name of increasing their guildmaster's prestige. If one of, say, Guildmaster Lot's followers garners a lot of good press, it looks good for Guildmaster Lot himself.
There's also Guild Lords, who are basically politicians in the Confederation who are members of the guild. Being a Guild Lord has the benefits of;
1. Priority given to any jobs you need done
2. Free protection from assassins and terrorists, and
3. Full private investigations into any crimes committed against you.
Guild Lords are basically the same as Guildmasters, except they have to balance their political careers with their guild relations. It isn't an easy job.
