The '''Guilds''' were organized groups of [[Assassins]] based in cities across the globe. The guilds formed the basis of the Order's command structure during the [[Renaissance]], with each guild coming under the control of a [[Master Assassin]].<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>
The '''Assassins Guild''' is opened after a memory during Sequence 4 (Den of Thieves), and is located at [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]]'s [[Tiber Island]] [[Tiber Island headquarters|Hideout]]. Headed by Ezio and [[Niccolò Machiavelli]], its purpose is to recruit potential [[Assassins]], and assist [[Civilians|citizens]] across [[Rome]] in their fight against the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]]. [[Assassin recruits]] gain experience by being called to fight [[guards]] and by being sent on contracts.


The Assassins Guild can be controlled outside of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' when the game is connected to ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''.
By the [[Modern Times|modern era]], the Order seemed to have organized itself into smaller groups of Assassins per city, dropping the idea of complete guilds.<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

[[File:Borgia_Tower.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Conversion of a Borgia tower.]]
[[File:Pigeon_coop.jpg|250px|thumb|Ezio accessing a pigeon coop.]]
The guild in Rome [[Apprentices|recruited]] its members from the city's disaffected population; those who had suffered at the hands of the [[Templar]] [[House of Borgia]] flocked to the guild when [[Save Citizen|approached by a member]]. Once a member, recruits trained through experience; they would go on actual mission and aid in the progression of the Order's goals. Communication both between and within the guilds was facilitated through use of pigeon coops.<ref name="Brotherhood" />


The Guild can be accessed throughout many places in Rome. It can be accessed by the map on a desk next to the caged pigeon in Ezio's [[Tiber Island headquarters]], the many [[Pigeon Coops]] spread throughout Rome, and the 12 Assassin Towers (As Ezio destroys [[Borgia towers]], they are converted into Assassin Towers).
Each guild provided its recruits with a wide array of weapons and armor qualities. These ususally improved in step with the apprentice's rank; higher ranked Assassins would gain access to weapons such as the [[pistol]] and [[smoke bombs]]. Additionally, the number of ranks in a particular guild varied between cities; the [[Assassin guild (Rome)|guild in Rome]], for example, only had ten ranks,<ref name="Brotherhood" /> whilst the [[Assassin guild (Constantinolpe)|guild in Constantinople]] had fifteen.<ref name="Revelations" />

In Rome, the ranks progressed as follows:
#''Recluta (Recruit)''
#''Servitore'' ''(Servent)''
#''Assistente (Assistant)''
#''Milite (Soldier)''
#''Discepolo (Disciple)''
#''Mercenario (Mercenary)''
#''Guerriero (Warrior)''
#''Veterano (Veteran)''
#''Maestro (Master)''
#''Assassino (Assassin)''


==Recruiting==
==Ceremony==
The citizens of Rome can be recruited as [[Apprentices]] under Ezio, and train under him to become Assassins. As he travels across Rome, he will find brave citizens standing up to the tyranny and oppression of the [[Borgia]] city guards. In [[Save Citizen|saving these citizens]], they will pledge themselves under Ezio, and will become an understudy at the [[Tiber Island headquarters]]. The amount of Recruits Ezio can have at once is dependent on how many [[Borgia Towers]] have be ignited and converted to Assassin Towers; one recruit per destroyed tower.

Multiple options are available under the Assassin menu. The [[Armor]] and [[Weapons|weaponry]] of your [[Assassin Recruits]] can be upgraded via skill points, which are gained upon leveling up, with one skill point per level. Each additional rank under Armor or Weaponry grants the recruit an additional piece of equipment, or a more powerful weapon. Additionally, the color of a recruit's uniform may be changed (though this has no impact on gameplay besides aesthetics) until they have reached the rank of ''Assassino''.


===Armor===
Upon reaching the rank ''Assassino'', a [[Initiation to the Assassin Order|initiation ceremony]] would be held. In Rome, these ceremonies would take place within the [[Tiber Island headquarters]].

After this, the newly born ''Assassino'' is given Assassin Armor, which gives them full health squares, attains the highest strength with the Assassin Sword, and is given full Assassin Robes similar to Ezio's [[Master Assassin]] robes (though you no longer have the option to change its color). These robes will remain Assassin White. (However, depending on the dye used on a certain recruit before gaining the rank of ''Assassino'', the cape will have a certain color that corresponds to that dye, albeit not the same color as it would appear on Ezio if his cape were to be dyed).

Members of the guild in Rome.

The Guilds were organized groups of Assassins based in cities across the globe. The guilds formed the basis of the Order's command structure during the Renaissance, with each guild coming under the control of a Master Assassin.[1]

By the modern era, the Order seemed to have organized itself into smaller groups of Assassins per city, dropping the idea of complete guilds.[2]

Guild Management

The guild in Rome recruited its members from the city's disaffected population; those who had suffered at the hands of the Templar House of Borgia flocked to the guild when approached by a member. Once a member, recruits trained through experience; they would go on actual mission and aid in the progression of the Order's goals. Communication both between and within the guilds was facilitated through use of pigeon coops.[2]

Each guild provided its recruits with a wide array of weapons and armor qualities. These ususally improved in step with the apprentice's rank; higher ranked Assassins would gain access to weapons such as the pistol and smoke bombs. Additionally, the number of ranks in a particular guild varied between cities; the guild in Rome, for example, only had ten ranks,[2] whilst the guild in Constantinople had fifteen.[1]

In Rome, the ranks progressed as follows:

  1. Recluta (Recruit)
  2. Servitore (Servent)
  3. Assistente (Assistant)
  4. Milite (Soldier)
  5. Discepolo (Disciple)
  6. Mercenario (Mercenary)
  7. Guerriero (Warrior)
  8. Veterano (Veteran)
  9. Maestro (Master)
  10. Assassino (Assassin)
