Well, back home there's a lot of guilds, kind of like it seems like there might be here. You could operate by the seat of your pants if you really wanted, but most guilds signed up with the Union. Get your charters approved, pay a membership fee, agree to abide by some basic rules of business — and the Union was basically insurance for anyone who needed a guild job done.
Union-member guilds always follow through on their jobs to the best of their ability. No taking a client's money and running off with it, for example.
[ An airy gesture. ]
Minimal bureaucracy while still making sure clients feel safe. Non-Union guilds still get hired sometimes, of course, because they're cheaper. It's a risk-reward thing.
[ Beat. ]
We did a mix, though, honestly. Some jobs through the Union's job board, some through word of mouth, some we just stumbled upon.
