Interesting facts...
Its a serious guild and dosen't take preisoners! In the Guild’s hall, every member’s name is painted on the frieze. If a member pays all their dues until the end, their name is gilded in gold; if not, it remains in white—a quiet, visual reminder of “eternal shame” for those who don’t settle up. Members are also encouraged to “lay into each other” in argument, fostering a culture of open, sometimes fierce, artistic debate!
