Sworn orders of knights and paladins, like the Order of the Silver Flame or the Dawnward Vigil.

Merchant

Trade guilds and chartered companies, like the Goldhand League or the Coin and Compass.

Arcane

Circles of mages and scholars, like the Veiled Conclave or the Ashlight Academy.

Shadow

Thieves, spies and hidden hands, like the Ashen Hand or the Whisper Court.

Sacred

Temples, cults and holy orders, like the Hallowed Choir or the Ember Faithful.

Naming tips

Making a guild sound real

Lead with what they do

A guild's name should hint at its purpose: an Order suggests sworn duty, a League suggests trade, a Conclave suggests secrets. Match the noun to the work and the name carries weight before anyone explains it.

Pick a kind for the faction

A knightly order sounds nothing like a thieves' cabal. Set the kind to fit who they are, Knightly, Merchant, Arcane, Shadow or Sacred, and the words fall into place.

Refine, don't restart

Found the right two words but the wrong wrapper? Choose the name, hit Refine, and shuffle between Order, Guild and Company while keeping the core.
