City that is not a Duchy declare independence?

I would like to see maybe some of the responsibilities of academies done in GUILDS instead. Assassins guild train assassins in their skills. A merchant guild trains traders in their skills. A Blacksmith guild trains.... etc. So now there becomes a real reason to have guilds other than milking prestige and honor points, and having all the training done under one generic "academy".

I think that'd be a great idea; guilds seem kinda empty as essentially banks with message lists.

It would actually key in nicely with the mentor suggestion made in another thread - expert nobles within a guild passing on their talents to younger nobles.  Would also mean that people could be trained by experts outside the confines of  a city.
