The Item Law Makers Guild
The Item Law Makers Guild (ILMG) was created in -28,872, at the end of The War of the Item Guilds, for the purpose of keeping items that were created for the purposes of Elemenstation pure, while also keeping the market place free of duplicate magical items. To this end they have created a huge Item Tracking Database.
A person who is a member of the Item Law Makers Guild is respected and feared. Respected for their work for the greater good, and feared for their power to sentence anyone to death for having a duplicate magical item. The Item Laws are the backbone of the society. If you make a ring, amulet, necklace, or trinket, that item has to go through a lengthy process before it can be accepted as a true magical item. In most realms, the ILMG shares its furniliar database with the local Department of Active Furnishings, a governmental agency similar to the Guild but focused specifically on transchanted or transmorphed furniture.
The ILMG is headed by the Grand Chief Itemstrator. The first was a very powerful elemenstor, who is credited with the creation of the entire ILMG, by the name of Lord Ghor Gon Zolma.
Only three times since its creation has anyone crosses the guild and survived. The first was the Hierarchs, and the second person was Gragnakas. This is because he scared them a little. (Hey, if you got submission packages detailing how someone named their sword made out of frozen pee every other week, you'd be scared too.) The third time, the Falchion Faction actually managed to completely erase the memories of every Guild member (as detailed in the ElemenstorLance novel, The Forgotten Faction. It was not until 20,034 that the Guild was reborn.
The ILMG employs a large number of Name Finders to help regulate the large amount of items it is responsible for.

Any idea how the hierarchs and gragnakas could be interacting with the guild, when it wasn't founded until the rise of the elemenstors? |

There's an answer to that in the back issues of ELotH:TES Magazine... I'll put up an article on The War of the Item Guilds later tonight. |

So you're saying that the lawmakers were the ones who later formed the item law guild, and they are the ones that had the interactions with gragnakas, et all? I'd buy that. Thanks. |
