Description: It’s all in the name. That’s right, with Guild Starter, you can now start your very own guild. Recruit almost ANYONE to join a guild commanded by you. Once you've found a nice home base(aka headquarters) and recruited up to 10 guild members, the possibilities become endless! Send your guild members on jobs, have them follow you, and level up your guild. Be a hunting guild, a necromancer guild, a mining guild, a cooking guild, an apothecary guild, an archer guild, a fight club, an assassin’s guild, a bandit clan, a treasure-hunting guild, a group of skooma smugglers, a paladin guild, and the list goes on infinitely. I've put many many hours of work into this mod, heck, I’m writing this at 2:35 AM because I've been working on it all night. So download, endorse, and make YOUR guild.
