Guildmasters have the power to choose a Patron to serve as a Divine Guardian
over the guild. While the Divine Patron is unlikely to be involved in the
day-to-day business or running the guild, they will stand behind the guild
members in times of crisis, and, at their own behest, may choose to share
vital information, advice, or provide aid in other ways.
While it is not a requirement for a guild to have a Patron, the decision
to go without one may leave the guild in a more vulnerable and less
informed position compared to others which are backed by the guidance of one
of the Divine.
While the Guildmaster's choice of Patron cannot be contested, a new leader
may choose to select a different Patron. Divine Patrons always maintain the
right to reject the position or abandon their patronage at any point.
To formally declare a patron, the Guildmaster may use GUILD PATRON <deity>.
If at any point they wish to remove the Patron or choose another, the command
to issue is GUILD UNPATRON.
Syntax:
GUILD PATRON <deity>GUILD UNPATRON
