Guilds (FB)/Dark Guilds

Dark Guilds are guilds that are no longer (or never were) recognized by a ruling magical body such as the or the Ministry of Magic; therefore they are treated as criminal organizations. Dark Guilds are typically dismissive of legal guilds, seeing that they abide the rules and laws of magic. Their belief is that law limits the potential of guilds as they place too many restrictions.

Organization
There is very little information known about the hierarchy of Dark Guilds. All Dark Guilds, like legal guilds, are run by their respective Guild Master. Dark Guilds have S-Class level Mages, but it is unknown if the Mages in question are called "S-Class Mages". In the Guild they have a, or second in charge, of their guild and some guilds: like Arcanic Scale completely lack ranks save for the title of Guild Master.
