Maintainers, Guild of
The Guild of Maintainers was one of the oldest guilds, and one of the most important. They were responsible for seeing that the laws of D'ni were kept to the letter. They regularly inspected the Ages for stability and safety, and made sure that all was according to D'ni guidelines. They were responsible for destroying any Books that were found to be unstable or defective. They had the Prison Ages in their care.

The Maintainer Guild's symbol represented an unblinking eye above an open Book.

For more information please see the (DRC Gahreesen) page.


Maintainer Markers Maintainer Mark
One of the functions of the Guild of Maintainers was to find a Great Zero in each of the D'ni Ages. They may have used one of these glowing lights, which they attached to a spike that was driven into the ground, to mark the spot where the Zero was.

In D'ni on December 8, 2003, Marie Sutherland of the DRC said: The maintainer markers were small reference markers for each age

Notice the Maintainer Guild symbol on the markers. It depicts an unblinking eye over an open book.
