Loyal Order of Street Laborers

The Loyal Order of Street Laborers was formed not by trade but by necessity and a Lords’ Edict. Answering an outcry to aid the constant cart and foot traffic of the city, the Lords worked with the  Unknown and the Guild of Stonecutters, Masons, Potters & Tile-makers, collecting over 200 craftsmen from both guilds and forming a guild for the express purpose of paving the major streets and avenues of the city and repairing any damage to said paving.

While seemingly contradictory to the noninterference of the Lords in guild affairs, its creation was necessary to prevent a war between the two guilds, delineate their overlapping interests, and prevent either from making huge profits off of a necessary demand by the Lords. The two original guilds now have no control over the street construction or repair and must act through the Loyal Order if they need a paved street torn up in the course of their work.

Members of this order are among the busiest workers in the city, with full members cutting, dressing, and laying stones for streets (whether smooth-paved or cobblestone) and prentices handling traffic detours, mortar mixing, the hauling of stones, and the leveling of streets during repairs or construction.
