Welcome to the Guild of Writers Wiki!
The Guild of Writers is a community of artists and programmers working to create or learn to use existing assets and tools for the open-source CyanWorlds.com Engine. It is a collaborative community, working toward the common goal of building new and exciting Ages. The Guild was formed on the basis of collaboration. We take great pride in our accomplishments and strive each day to create great things and outdo ourselves.

The Guild as it stands today has evolved from previous modding and Age creation groups. It is as diverse as the Uru community, and that diversity is one of its strengths.
