Originally, the [[Guild Council]] was an organization that worked in tandem with the King, drafting their own legislation and approving construction and regulatory proposals made by the King. However, after King [[Kerath]] abdicated the throne in [[6977 DE]], ending the [[List of D'ni Kings|reign of the kings]], he transferred full power to the Guild Council, appointing five Great Lords to lead it. After that, the 18 Major Guilds - each represented by 19 Guild Masters and one Grand Master - ruled D'ni completely. Kerath had argued, "D'ni is the Guilds," and he could see no other organization better suited to rule D'ni until the coming of what he believed to be the true Great King – he strongly believed that King [[Ahlsendar]], thought by many during his reign to be the prophesied Great King, was in fact a fraud and a liar. | Originally, the [[Guild Council]] was an organization that worked in tandem with the King, drafting their own legislation and approving construction and regulatory proposals made by the King.

This was met with considerable resistance from the entrenched aristocracy behind the Council, but the measures passed. Unfortunately, nothing is known at this time about what these measures actually did to empower the general populace. | ||

On July 31, 2007, the [[DRC]] opened the neighborhood of [[Kirel]] to explorers. The neighborhood was at one time the DRC's base of operations in D'ni, but now serves as a gathering place for all explorers interested in the Guild system. The DRC has outlined five Guilds which they believe are the most important to be resurrected in this new D'ni being built today. Four of these are Guilds that existed at the time of the Fall, while the fifth – the Guild of Greeters – was created by explorers in 2003 to work and guide with new explorers through their initial explorations of D'ni. The full list is as follows: | On July 31, 2007, the [[DRC]] opened the neighborhood of [[Kirel]] to explorers.
