I might have missed it up-thread, but I don't know if anyone's mentioned 
this yet. Starting with the prologue with Noish-pa, every time I read 
about Guilds and Covens, they fell into a familiar pattern in my mind: 
Guild ~= Right Hand, Coven ~= Left Hand. This seemed to be especially 
acute in Burz, where the Right Hand, excuse me, the *Guild* seemed to 
have its fingers in every business pie in town. Both the Guild and the 
Coven in Burz seemed to require membership of any potential competitors, 
and it was implied that strong-arming of various varieties was employed 
to make sure everyone toed the proper line. The Coven had secret 
leadership, and I seem to recall this is a similar hallmark of the Left 
Hand, although it's late and I'm too tired to look this up more 
thoroughly. This is a good enough start.
