HallMaster:  The senior authoritive figure in the CraftHall.  The HallMaster normally has several Turns of experience as a Master before being put in command of a whole Hall.  They hold ultimate authority in a Hall, although it is extremely unusual that they be called to discipline any member of the Hall. The Hallmaster is expected to deal with matters such as disregard of a person's duty to the Hall, severe infractions against the Hall or a resident thereof, and purposeful damage or destruction of the Hall or its reputation.

It is the HallMaster who gives final approval for advancement in rank for any of the Crafters under their command.  They are also expected to meet in the Southern Continent Conclave which is held once a Turn.

HallSecond: The HallSecond is usually of Master rank, although they may also be elected from the Journeyman ranks if the HallMaster thinks this to be an appropriate decision. They are the HallMaster's confidant and carries out many of the duties that the HallMaster cannot deal with including all major punishment that the Hallmaster does not take care of. Actions that warrant the attention of the Hallsecond include: insubordination and minor infractions against the Hall or a resident thereof.

Master:  Every Master has authority over a specific aspect of their Craft.  Any actions that do not warrant the attention of the Hallmaster or the Hallsecond will be dealt with by these people.  They are also responsible for checking products by journeypeople and apprentices that are to be sold to the general Pernese public, inspecting the goods closely before issuing them with a CraftHall stamp or rejecting them.  Every Master is allowed to take on a select number of apprentices and journeypeople as their personal students.

Journeypeople:  Journeypeople specialise in certain aspects of their Craft.  They are the main teachers, not only in the Hall itself, but also in the Holds.  Journeypeople can be permanently assigned to the Major Holds or can journey around the minor Holds, teaching the Hold children the basics of Pernese education as they pass though.  Journeypeople take an examination, when they have accumulated enough knowledge and experience,  to gain the rank of Senior Journeyperson.  All journeypersons are expected to take care of any minor problems that arise with the apprentices. 

Apprentices:  Junior Apprentices learn the basics of their Craft, being taught by Journeypeople.  At the end of two Turns (or when their Journeyperson feels they are ready) the Apprentices take an examination on all they have learnt about their Craft.  Upon passing this examination, the Apprentices advance to Senior Apprentice rank.  They now choose to specialise in a particular aspect of their Craft, sometimes being assigned solely to a Senior Journeyperson or a Master.  When they are ready (normally four Turns after joining the Craft) the Apprentices take another examination and, if they pass the examination and have the HallMaster's approval, they advance to Journeyperson status.  All apprentices are expected to take care of any minor problems that arise with the guests of the Hall.
