Guilds and Associations
as far as my understanding goes:
Associations are groups of like-minded magi, you can join as many Associations as you want,
currently there are 2 and seem to specialize in preserving / creating new creatures:
one specializes in creating artificial creatures and the other specializes in prehistoric creatures.
(i must say, reading some creature descriptions like the ones from the ferrofluid, plushie, porcelain and marinevra crystalwing made me wonder: even if we are members, we are not allowed to "create" these creatures...since they retire and we cant "make/create" more, guess the other members dont want us to know)
ehh, anyway and then there are Guilds, you only can join 1, but that makes sense since they seem to focus on the types of magic in this world and currently there are only 3:
one is focused on plant/healing magic, the second is focused on dark/shadow magic (maybe even death magic?) and the third is focused on water magic (but it does not look like they focus on ice magic...at least looking at the creatures in the bestiary makes me think they only focus on the liquid form of water).
but one sentence in the FAQ made me curious:
(this sentence: More societies are always in the works.)
will there be more guilds / associations in the future? when was the last time one got added?
i know plant based creatures seem to be the herbalists speciality (the dandylions are their newest invention it seems, even if they are retired now and were not in their shop).
but what about food based creatures? i know there was some sort of bread creature from a former april fools day, would that not be a cool new Association? Or maybe even 2, one resolves around cooking and one around backing / making dessert based creatures!
Since we can only join 1 guild i hesitate a bit because if i join one and they release another i like more, it will cost to change...
there is still room for fire, wind, lightning, ice, light and earth magic based guilds...(maybe even balance, because balance hydra?...but that would maybe be shadow vs light guilds...)
also: with the dark naja added to the dark based guild, i wonder if the guild get regularly new creatures, or even on certain events, event based creatures added to their shops...
so what do you think would be the most likely Societies to be added to the magistream page?
(and wich ones would you like to see?)

would you like it if every guild gets 1 new creature at the same time so trading is more likely to happen, or is it better to get only 1 at a time (to sell them to non guild members for gold)?
