General Abstract of Guild:
A guild that is neutral though upholds a set of codes among themselves and the contracts they are bound to. Golden Sphinx is a Treasure Hunters Guild that is outside of the Magic Council's jurisdiction but falls under the broad umbrella of Merchant Guilds. They will take any player no matter their character alignment or standing with the Magic Council, though nationally wanted players such as terrorist will only be accepted under rare conditions. The guild is not led by a single master but a council. The guild is composed of three distinct branches.
Overview:
A group of like minded individuals that seek to collect rare artifacts and treasures to either sell or use. The guild is classified as a Treasure Hunters guild and therefore has little to do with the Magic Council but the guidelines of Merchant Guild Association. Guild does not discriminate between dark or light mages, nor methods of how to obtain the treasures, though murder should be seen as a last resort. Members are heavily encouraged to participate in site plot threads. While ranking up is not heavily pressed in this guild they are encouraged to gain strength so that the guild may use its strength as a form of bartering, be it showing their strength to gain a monetary or political upper hand, or hiring out their strength to other guilds, organizations, or private parties. The guild encourages weaker members to team up to help with progress of ranks but also to take on more elaborate adventures and quest together. Members are heavily encouraged to partake in Site Plot Events; members should help each other out in these events and once other contenders that are not Golden Sphinx members are eliminated may they squabble over the spoils among themselves.

Outside of the Trinity Council there is the positions: The Sentient, The Law, and The Keeper.
A three party system that each hold a certain interest and facet of the guild. Members are constantly rotated allowing there to be a democracy and unbiased ran organization.
