This poor, quiet guild has many members all around
the City (as the handiwork of basketmaking can be carried
on with ease in private dwellings, above the shops),
usually 1400 or more. Its Master, aided by his family,
makes a tidy living providing Guild members with supplies
for their work: trimmed and bundled rushes and
willow-wands. Master for life, Felthauvin owes his position
to his unmatched skill at his chosen craft and his
resulting ability to train members and would-be members,
and to finish work for them in emergencies in a
perfect match of their various styles, as well as his careful
investments. Felthauvin is a major landlord in the
City, personally influential as a result (thus able to deal as
an equal with many far wealthier and more essential
guilds), and able to bankroll the Guild in difficult times.

Felthauvin has many young sons, who “run the bundles”
up stairways and alleys for him, and as a result
know who lives where upstairs in the City better than
any other group of people in Waterdeep except the
Watch.
