The Musicians Guild - Huw2k8/warsim GitHub Wiki
The Musicians Guild is a location in the West in the region of Songwood, it is the 15th Area of the west and is a non capturable location.
When you enter the Musicians Guild you may get a different greeting message based on your relationship with the guild, your relationship is formed by how you treat travelling musicians who visit your throne room, if you treat them badly then the guild won't like you, and if you do it enough they won't let you inside the building
Once inside the building you have the option of doing a number of things:
Watch A performance
This takes you to a second menu where you can listen to any of the 6 different kind of musicians, Orc Gunters, Luteplayers, Gnome Whistlers, Goblin Drummers, Clickers, and the exclusive to the guild 'Chanters', Each of these musicians will choose a random skill level and song length and play for you offering you a description of how long they have been at the guild.
There are also two special unlocks here, the first is a unique lute song that is unlocked at 25 relation with the guild, this is a fixed track that will be the same each time. And at 50 relation with the guild you unlock a song called sea shanty which includes an experimental animation of multiple faces on screen at the same time.
There is no limit to the amount of times you can listen to musicians here bar your own sanity!
Speak with the guildmaster The Second option allows you to discuss five topics with the guildmaster, you can ask about the guilds financial situation, its purpose, its history or you can request a tribute from him, additionally if you relationship is below 25 you can ask him about the strange iron door.
Taking tribute from the guild will reduce your relation with the by 15 however undoing this brings it back up by 15 meaning unlike most tributes and taxes the consequences can be completely reversed. Taking tribute will gain you between 100 and 850 gold per turn.
His responses to each question are the same each time:
The Guilds Financial Situation
The Guilds financial situation is that we are kept afloat by "a mix of sources, our main source is from our guildmembers guildmembers can work at different levels you see, guildmembers who receive intense training from us must provide us 20% of all of their earnings as a bard, normal guildmembers pay 10% but any guildmember who receives food and board must pay us an extra 5% the minimum a guildmember has to earn as a bard per season is 100 gold, any less than that and they will be stripped of their membership, so as you can see, we get by quite well.
The Guilds Purpose
The Guilds's purpose is to bring joy the world, though the talent of music, a just cause and a cause that I believe has worked well
The Guilds History
The Guild was founded in the year 6BA, only six years before the great and mighty empire of Aslona was founded, it was at one time a hovel where a young lad played his lute, he founded an early caravan of music and spread it through his travels, as he passed through towns and villages he found more who shared his interests, and the group grew, so did the hovel, and within a year the guild was official
Take Tribute
Well... I suppose we can give tribute to the you... but if you could find it in your heart to revoke this request at some point we would be greatful the guild needs the money you see... we must pay our trainers.
Stop Taking Tribute
Thank you for revoking it your highness, your wisdom is much appreciated
The Iron Door
Oh that... it's just a room we use to store old... socks, and paper things like that...
Lyrical Archives (req 25 relation) The Lyrical Archives which are another place you can visit in the guildhall, if you relation with the guild is less than 25 this area will show up as 'There is a sealed iron Door here' once inside you have access to the lyrics of 8 songs, some that are known outside of the guild such as 'Willy Willy wonder king' and 'Deserter Deserter' but most being unique to the guild, the are all readable.
