At the head of each guild is the elected Master -- a guild member who has been elevated to the nobility, if he was not a member before. Reporting to him are the Conner and the Purseman.
The Conner's job is to inspect the goods and services of members to make sure that the name of the guild is not imperiled by what they offer for sale. The Purseman's job is to act as the accountant of the guild. He lays fines and collects dues. He pays salaries and pensions.
The Arch Master Guildsmen are the retired members of the guild who are no longer active but are living on the pensions provided by the dues of the active members. They also serve as a body of advisors to the Guildmaster and who help the Master Guildsmen by evaluating the output of the Journeymen who want to turn in their master work.
