Historical Guild
The Guild of Cartographers was one of the 18 Major Guilds at the time of the Fall of D'ni. The job of the Guild of Cartographers included mapping every Age written by the Guild of Writers. They likely also maintained maps of the caverns and tunnels of the D'ni. Its members also played a role in design, e.g. determining the optimal arrangement of tunnels.
The DRC has stated in their information in Kirel that "Cartographers were expected to initially map new Ages as well as maintain those maps on a consistent basis. Most evidence points to the “maps” done by the Cartographers as being extremely comprehensive often including ocean floors, underground water sources, geography, etc...."
Members of the Guild worked with Master Geran of the Surveyors to design the main shaft of the tunnel to the surface of Earth.
Their Guild color is remarkably close to that of the Guild of Surveyors, and the evidence collected by the DRC implies that the Guild of Surveyors and the Guild of Cartographers were very closely linked in their purposes. Many of the maps so far released by the DRC actually have the mark of the Guild of Surveyors, probably due to that Guild's role in exploration.
Restored Guild
The Guild of Cartographers is one of the five guilds that the DRC has encouraged and supported the restoration of. Their primary duty is the creation of maps for all of the Ages and areas released by the DRC.
