Talk:Dungsweepers' Guild

While I'm sure the Dungsweepers' Guild is exclusive to Waterdeep, does anyone know of any other cities that have dung sweepers? I was reading in Twilight Falling and Erevis Cale mentions them being in Selgaunt, Sembia in two succesive mentions on pages 109 and then 110 though he doesn't mention anything about a guild:

"The dung sweepers would be about their business soon, collecting dried dung from the street and reselling it in the outlying villages for fuel and fertilizer." Paul Kemp, Twilight Falling, p. 109.

"For the few hours before dawn, the whole of the city belonged to the bakers, the fishermen, and the dung sweepers." Paul Kemp, Twilight Falling, p. 110.

I'm new here, would this be worthy of its own article, or mentioning on this one? What do some of you think? Hemvar† 03:45, August 12, 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm sure dung sweepers are found in every city in the Realms, just as in historical cities of Earth, both to keep the streets clean and supply certain industries. For example, Calaunt would likely have people who collect dung for the tanneries. Dung-sweeper is just a basic occupation, like the bakers and fishers, just a lot less pleasant. The Dungsweepers' Guild is just an organized guild of them that we know of.


 * That information about dung sweepers in Twilight Falling would best go on the Selgaunt page, to tell the reader about activities and trades there.


 * But we do like articles on mundane matters like mathematics and breeches and have some professions like adventurer and bounty hunter. A dung sweeper article would go there. It just needs someone who wants to write it. ;) — BadCatMan (talk) 05:11, August 12, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the information and guidance! Hemvar† 02:13, August 13, 2020 (UTC)
