|---|---|
| 1 | The Dwarven stonemason guild |
A unionised mason is part of a guild of other stonemasons. If you must be paid the fair market value of the town/city the work is to be done in. If you are not within the area of a town/city then the employer must use the nearest town/city’s fair market for the employees. The employer must provide the equipment if necessary and the job site must be up to the stonemason’s code.
