Time's Gears (The Guild of....guilds?)
Location: Spira
Affiliation: Allies of Clan Mirumoto (Steel Gear Compact), distrustful of the Mercenary Quarter (Hammerites/Valkyries) and Jeweler's Flame Compact (Jeweler's Guild/Hellfire)
Structure: A loose alliance of various smiths, carpenters, butchers, and other middle-class guilds. No one formal leader, but whoever wears a "Gear Coat" is a known leader of men in the meta-guild.
Gear Coat? : A black coat usually tailored to fit the bearer. Traditionally falls between the knee and mid-calve, but has been know to fall much higher or lower as the bearer wishes, though never further then the waist or the ankle. Every coat has the triple gear symbol of the meta-gear upon the collar, but are otherwise adorned with sigils, colors, and styles befitting the bearer's wishes. Current bearers of the Gear Coat are, among others, Jeral Strongblade (with a red checkered pattern swirling up from the bottom. The coat is lengthened to the ankle), "Bloody-Minded" Wilhelm (with no outer adornments, but lined with a deep crimson fabric), and Thaddeus Davoren (with basic patches on the outer surface, but an assortment of different colored patches on the inside. The coat is also shortened to the waist).
Current complaints: Has a grievance with the Watch, whom they claim have been assisting in the theft of Gear-produced goods. Distrustful of the Jeweler's Guild ever since the jewelers broke away. Wary that Clan Mirumoto could shatter into a civil "war" soon.
