After leaving the Cohen family property, Minos and Abby headed to the downtown area, where they could find the local guilds, shops, and spiritual profession associations.
They had taken Tedd's advice about where they should not try to attract people to the Black Plain under any circumstances, as well as where they would have the best chance.
Although each profession had only one guild or association in Wilburg, there were still many independent shops and schools, like the blacksmith Minos had dealt with in Athela.
That person had his forge, and all the smiths in that place were basically his indirect or direct disciples.
And such organizations were widespread throughout the Spiritual World. After all, not everyone wanted to be part of prominent organizations or be at the disposal of noble powers. Some people liked having the freedom to choose who to work with, even if it meant lesser earnings.
