8.4.3 OFFICE OF GUILD CHAMPION
The most glamorous office of the guild is that of Guild Champion--though
it also happens to be the most dangerous. The Champion is charged with
protecting guild members and is expected to be available to rescue them
from life-threatening situations. Those attracted to this position
generally do not have political ambitions, but are rather experts at one
thing-the art of combat. The best of the best, it is not uncommon to have
enemies of the guild run in fear when their Champion enters the scene.
Guild Champions appoint Protectors to assist them in protecting their
guild brothers and sisters. Most notably, Champions also are caretakers
of a powerful guild artifact to assist them in their duties.
Along with the Guildmaster, the Guild Champion helps oversee the use
of the Guild Nexus Powers for the security of the guild and city/commune.
Also, the Guild Champion may brand a person an enemy or ally of the
city/commune.
