Apothecary Guild by the Seaside There are many of these residences/shops scattered throughout Mernac. The Guildmaster is the most highly skilled apothecarian. They are brought to the head of the guild by way of vote and skills. Master Apothercarians, have an apprentice, staff and servants. They need to be able to read and scribe a little, after all they do run a business and as thus they need to be able to haggle and bargain with the wealthy and poor alike. http://www.mernac.com/modules/mernac/story.php?id=846&aid=1016
