 +======  General: Guild Information ======
 +  
 +                                                                              
 +  DuneMUD is populated with ten guilds, each  possessing different  powers,   
 +  have various advantages and downsides.  The following list can  help  you   
 +  choose  the  guild  you  will  join.  Note that you can leave most of the   
 +  guilds if you feel their  playing  style  does  not  fit your view of the   
 +  world.                                                                      
 +                                                                              
 +  House Atreides:                                                             
 +  Noble warriors that come from the watery  planet  Caladan.  They  have  a   
 +  variety  of Gskills  including powerwords, righteous fury and more. Their   
 +  guild armour is the shieldbelt  which  protects their entire body, and is   
 +  quite a formidable armour indeed.  It can be used to reflect attacks,  or   
 +  even stun one's opponent.  Being an Atreides warrior you become part of a   
 +  large army and have an entire fleet to assist you.                          
 +                                                                              
 +  Fremen:                                                                     
 +  They are the masters of the desert and live on the desert planet Arrakis,   
 +  the home of the spice Melange.  They can ride the gigantic Sandworms, and   
 +  their guild weapon is the crysknife, made from the tooth of ShaiHulud (a   
 +  sandworm), probably the strongest guild weapon  in the MUD.   Fremen  are   
 +  built  for  fighting  in  groups, and  not alone.  The  more Fremen fight   
 +  together the higher their  Tau  (by  Fremen  definition  the unity of the   
 +  Fremen  community) becomes.  Fremen  are quite powerful, trained  in  the   
 +  Weirding Ways  taught to them by their Atreides allies.  They possess the   
 +  power to become extremely offensive  or defensive  in  their fighting  at   
 +  will, which allows them to often end a fight with a powerful opponent  in   
 +  one round  of  combat, or remain in combat for hundreds of rounds without   
 +  hardly taking damage,  wearing their opponents down.  They also have many   
 +  interesting guild skills, and are probably the most newbiefriendly guild   
 +  there is, competing for that status with Atreides only.                     
 +                                                                              
 +                                                                              
 +  Bene Gesserit:                                                              
 +  Those are mysterious witches who come from the forest planet Wallach IX.    
 +  Like  the  Fish  Speakers, they are a female only guild and the only male   
 +  who can join is the  Kwisatz  Haderach,  "shortening of the way", the one   
 +  who can be in many places at  once.   They  can  become  rather  powerful   
 +  fighters,  but  are  also  welltrained  mentally.   They can share their   
 +  supreme knowledge and mental training  with  players from other guilds by   
 +  giving them Prana or Bindu trains, more commonly  known  as  Ptrains  and   
 +  Btrains.   A  Ptrain  gives  a  temporary  boost  to  your  strength  and   
 +  dexterity,  while  a  Btrain  gives  a temporary boost to your wisdom and   
 +  intelligence.                                                               
 +                                                                              
 +  Fish speakers:                                                              
 +  They are the army of the God Emperor Leto Atreides II, ruler of the known   
 +  universe.  They are a guild of ferocious  females,  known  to  enjoy  the   
 +  feeling of crushing an opponent with their bare hands, often covered with   
 +  claws.  They  have  been  rumored  to do awful and gruesome things to the   
 +  corpses of their enemies, and truly enjoy the rush of battle.  They have    
 +  four Subguilds:  Medics,  Priests,  Scouts  and  Warriors.   One  of the   
 +  special things about the guild is that there is  no  limit  to  the  Fish   
 +  Speakers'  ability  to  improve a skill, so they can continue training it   
 +  forever.                                                                    
 +                                                                              
 +  Sardaukar:                                                                  
 +  To  join Sardaukar you have to be male, powerful, and   
 +  have plenty of spare  solaris.   However,  once  you  get accepted to the   
 +  guild you will be one of the  strongest  players  and  have  unbelievable   
 +  gskills.  One of the "perks" in  being a Sardaukar, is that starting from   
 +  a certain guild level, one must always remain a playerkiller,  but  their   
 +  power usually more than covers for that.                                    
 +                                                                              
 +  Bene Tleilax:                                                               
 +  They are a secretive guild, and not much is known about them.  They  come   
 +  from  the  planet  Tleilax and are mostly assassins, disguise masters and   
 +  genetic scientists.  They can hide  themselves,  or even take the form of   
 +  another creature at will.  To join the Bene  Tleilax,  a  recruiter  must   
 +  accept  you and then you must go through a hard period of training to get   
 +  into the actual guild.                                                      
 +                                                                              
 +  Harkonnen:                                                                  
 +  The  Harkonnen  shock  troopers are the main stay of the Harkonnen army.    
 +  The sheer rage and devastation  they  wreak  on the battlefield puts fear   
 +  into the hearts of any enemy; the shock troopers are by no  means  cannon   
 +  fodder.  With  legendary battlerage and survival skills, they can conquer   
 +  anything.                                                                   
 +                                                                              
 +  Bene Gesserit Army:                                                         
 +  The Bene Gesserit Warriors are among  the most brave and honorable forces   
 +  in the known universe. As a member of this elite group, you possess  many   
 +  powers  others  can  but  dream  of. You control thought processes beyond   
 +  those of the greatest  Tleilaxu  thinker.  Beyond that, your sheer muscle   
 +  strength and control creates  a  fighting  machine  unparalleled  by  any   
 +  other.                                                                      
 +                                                                              
 +  The Ixian Machine Guild:                                                    
 +  The Ixian Machine Guild (IMG) was established shortly after the Butlerian   
 +  Jihad  had  ended.  First it was a secret organization comprised of a few   
 +  master builder humans who wanted to  see  a true thinking machine and the   
 +  old tech robots who inherited the old technology from  before  the  great   
 +  scattering.  The  result:  a  new  living  machine.  A combination of the   
 +  ultimate  in   artificial   intelligence   and   human  brain  imprinting   
 +  technology.  Dermal  plating,  enhanced  reflexes,  thermographic  optics   
 +  implants and much more. Be warned that joining this  guild  may  lead  to   
 +  being  an  outcast  among the weak fleshlings; but as always the Machines   
 +  will wage war against them and show them the true way.                      
 +                                                                              
 +  Honored Matres:                                                             
 +  The Honored Matres  are an army of savage female warriors, formed by Fish   
 +  Speakers and Bene Gesserits in  the  Scattering.  They embody the best of   
 +  both, their  viciousness  matched  only  by  the most  ferocious  of Fish   
 +  Speakers,  their control over  their bodies surpassed only  by  the  most   
 +  skilled of Reverend Mothers. They are known for their nearly supernatural   
 +  speed  and reflexes,  and  their  superior physical,  as well  as  mental   
 +  conditioning.  They are masters of martial arts, some Matres specializing   
 +  in charging their opponents headon, and some more skilled at using their   
 +  enemies' power against them. Finally, in addition to their combat prowess   
 +  the Honored Matres possess unique skills of  manipulation  and seduction,   
 +  the likes of which even the Bene Gesserits can barely comprehend.           
 +
