This guild is a small, highly professional organization
whose members take care to give fast, efficient, polite
service, although glass is not cheap. While a simple stoppered
flash may only cost 1 cp, replacing a pane of glass
runs 4 cp for a four-inch-square pane up to 6 gp for a
tour-toot-square pane. Sets of bottles of uniform size,
thickness, and glass hue are more expensive than “odd
bottles.” The Guild procures the finest sand (from certain
beaches in the Tashalar and in Tethyr) for the use of its
members in making glass, and provides emergency
equipment and glass stocks for their use. A Guild member
convicted of deliberately breaking glass in place in
any building in Waterdeep not belonging to him, without
permission of the owner, or hiring someone else to do so
(such as gangs of street urchins armed with rocks) is
fined by the Magisters and expelled from the Guild by
the Master Specular.

Such a miscreant can later be voted back into the Guild
by the membership, upon subsequent reapplication (and
payment of another “entrance fee”). For many years this
Guild was involved in an acrimonious dispute with The
Watchful Order of Magists & Protectors over which
Guild would make crystal balls—a dispute that still
causes grumbling.

The matter was formally resolved some ten winters
ago by the Lords. Such items can be made by anyone
(including this Guild), but can be enspelled only by individual
(private) mages (working for themselves, but not
under hire by any Guild), or by The Watchful Order.

This Guild also makes many spectacles and magnifying
glasses, typically costing 5-10 gp each. Any full member
of the Guild has the skill to grind and polish a glass lens to
a particular strength and focus.
