All knowledge must be circulated as freely as currency
— The Intelligentsia Guild's motto
The Intelligentsia Guild is an academic institution subsidized by the Interastral Peace Corporation.[3]
Description[]
"The universe is vast, and knowledge is universal. Both the genius and the mediocre have their own way of living."
Only the cream of the crop can become members of the Genius Society, but the Intelligentsia Guild wastes not. The Guild is willing to accept all beings from the infinite universe who seek to learn, as well as providing all that is needed for the full pursuit of knowledge.
The Intelligentsia Guild advocates that "all knowledge must be circulated like currency." Therefore, although there are different schools that specialize in different subjects within the Guild, everyone is actively engaged with one another with no isolationism. Members trade knowledge for wisdom and formulas for recipes, seeking to achieve mastery. Each school, like a business, pays for itself, and academic circulation has achieved the maximum efficiency proposed in economic models.
An elder in the Genius Society thought the Intelligentsia Guild as laughing stock. However, as an open academic organization, the Intelligentsia Guild was above such mockery. After a long period of research and exploration, its members have reached a consensus that "the only way to transcend the limitations of the individual is to have an academic network of mutual learning."
Profile[]
The Intelligentsia Guild is heavily sponsored by the Interastral Peace Corporation, allowing them to move across many worlds and collect knowledge as its commodity. Knowledge is its currency, exchanged for wisdom; formulas for recipes, and so on. Its structure is built upon basic individual organizations of "schools," each responsible for their own earnings and expenses. The scholars would research and trade the knowledge they've acquired in their area of expertise, trying to obtain priceless treasures this way.[2]
Schools[]
Astral Ecology School[]
Description[]
The Astral Ecology School views the galaxy as a large ecological observation subject. They are obsessed with studying the void song whales, radiant jellyfish, and other organisms of the galaxy. The school earned its recognition for the discovery of the Celestial Comet Wall. The Interastral Peace Corporation was exhilarated to hear the confirmation that this was an ancient creation of Qlipoth, Aeon of Preservation. They paid the school an incredibly large sum of money.[2] The Astral Ecology School is in charge of declaring the beginning and end of Amber Eras.[4]

Armed Archaeologists[]
Description[]
A school passionate about galactic exploration and archaeology. They are always heading to the most desolate planets and exploring the most dangerous ruins. Their modus operandi is having a group of their scholars armed to the teeth leading mercenaries out on an exploration vessel and searching the crevices of ancient buildings that have been forgotten for countless Amber Eras.[2]
Known Members[]
- Allen Jones — Head of School[6]
- Hosea Lazaro
- Idia[7]

Candelagraphos[]
Description[]
The Candelagraphos is the printing department of the guild. They are made of countless authors, transcribers, typists, programmers, and workers who produce books. This school is founded upon the noble gesture of altruism, surrendering selfish scientific research and throwing themselves at the grand service of sharing wisdom with more people. The science of the Intelligentsia Guild is gathered here and organized into books to be published and sold to all the worlds. The most famous series is the Traveler's Guide.[2]

Synesthesia School[]
Description[]
The Synesthesia School is behind the development of the Synesthesia Beacon and sales of the licensing rights to the Interastral Peace Corporation.[2] While the Synesthesia Beacon was first invented by Genius Society member Elias Salas, he would sign over the rights of the product to the Intelligentsia Guild[10] and through their own merit they would reproduce the Synesthesia Beacon.[11] The school now specializes in the development of communications devices, and are forever expanding.[2]
Quantum History School[]
Description[]
This is a new school reformed from the bankrupted Psychology History School. Its original purpose is to find the influences of disturbance and patterns of change hidden throughout history, and then make predictions for the future. However, they've become a group of scammers that use a series of complex "calculations" for fortune-telling.[2]
