The following sheet details the rules of the Covian Mariner's Guild.
- The Seafaring Act (http://cove.sugeworld.com/forum/index.php/topic,14902.0.html) is the stone upon which the guild relies and any person breaking these laws may face expulsion from the guild as well as any other legal proceedings brought upon them by the military.
- Merchant organisations must register with the guild.
- The hierarchy on board a ship must be followed at all times. Mutinous behaviour may be reported by your Captain and end up on your guild record, making it difficult for you to find employment.
- Boat owners must register with the guild. Crew members are encouraged, but not obliged.
- Boat owners must permit lawful searches of their ship and cargo.
Contracts may be submitted by anyone, and are divided into three categories:
Open: Any registered boat owner may assemble a crew and fulfil this contract.
Ongoing: This is the same as an open contract and by its nature must be met regularly.
Private: This contract is of high importance and is restricted to registered merchants.
