Gah...you hit the nail on the head.The last addition was done with my eyes somewhat closed. But I guess last night I was thinking more on the line of secrecy. Special folding techniques for steel or curing methods for leatherworkers. An example on this would be the Japanese weapon smiths, which mostly took their crafting methods to the grave. Thus the guild takes extra precautions from potential thiefs.Should the reason still lack...well I'll just change it. I'm not that attached to the guild since it came out just as a complement to the background.

I don't think that leads to 'cut all contact with the outside world'. It's just the excessiveness of it: what good is a character that won't meet anyone throughout the entire course of the RP? XD
