How do I...?

You may find interesting bits and pieces on a person's profile and not know how they came about them. Some of these are badges, awards, or other identifiers.

Ranks:
On a forum, ranks are generally generated by post count but here we are using the option for the icon to deliver another visual way of showing off your character's profession. You have these current options and more can be added as necessary. If your character needs one of these applied, just post below.

	Artist	Painters, Sculpters, etc
	Craftsman	Carpenters, masons, blacksmiths, etc

Guilds/Clans are a social aspect of role-play and no less included here.

There are optional visual perks to having a guild (or being part of one):

• Guilds get their own sub-forum in the related area to conduct their business by
  
• Colored names to represent
  
• A 90x90 badge for profiles.
  

However you need participants to make any kind of group and as such we deem the following in order to create one for yourself. This rule is basic and flat across all of the site. World-specific rules may apply in addition, but will not override the originals. You will need:

• Five active* members, including yourself.
  

World specific requirements:
Skaldsong

• Must be located in a town, with town leader's approval (if applicable)
  

*Member activity is checked every 3 months. This is to prevent tie ups waiting on people who have no intention of returning.

If you believe you have everything to present your idea and are ready to make things official, post below or PM a staff member to help finish rolling that ball!
