| - The Goldsmith's Guild was known both in the Tortallan and in the Emelanese Universe. In the Emelanese Universe notable people belonging to it were the Bancanors, as Kolborn Bancanor was a goldsmith and the head of the Kugiskan Goldsmith's Guild. In the Tortallan Universe the Goldsmith's Guild in Port Caynn was repeatedly mentioned in connection with the counterfeiting of 247 HE, because the guild, like the Silversmith's Guild, knew of the false silver being passed around. The guild's leaders were arrested once Gershom of Haryse arrived and got the situation in the city under control again. After order was restored in the city both the Silversmith's Guild and the Goldsmith's Guild had much to answer for; both with changes and on trial. Amongst others new officials were appointed. The books and money boxes were searched by Crown magistrates and the couriers questioned under truth spell, but normal business continued, because "honest gold and honest letters of credit still [had] to move." Dale Rowan had also once worked for the guild, amongst other things totally reworking the banking laws, until he got bored with the job. Even later he remained with the Goldsmith's Bank, working as one of their couriers.
