Can anyone remember a Dragon issue that featured a Guild or Organisation that basically were hoarders of information. They liked to keep every little scrap of information just in case it was useful at some point in the future. I thought it was a great concept and I'm just trying to find the article again. I'm sure it is from a issue somewhere between about #280 and #320 but I could just be misremembering.
Thanks in advance,

Do you mean the Cult of Vecna, or something more mundane and possibly Gnomish?

It definitely wasn't the Cult of Vecna. It was like a Bardic College or something similar except they focused on information and knowledge. I can't remember the name of the section it was in. Something like Guild *******. Each month it had a couple of pages on a different guild.

In Dragon #301, there was an article called Guild Secrets: the Claw of Gold, about a draconic thieves' guild. More about money than information, though. #303 had Academia Necrotica, which covered an undead guild focused on revenge.
Hope this helps,

I checked out those issues last night and it definitely isn't either of those organisations. Thanks anyway. I'll have a look through all my issues of Dragon on the weekend and see if I can find that elusive article. I bet now that it wasn't a Guild Secrets article and was just a feature article on various Mage Guilds or Bardic Colleges. Anyone know of any issues before #330 that had an article on something like that?

I finally found it! The Guild was the League of Scrolls and it was from a Guild Secrets article in issue #296. My mind can now rest on the subject. :-)
On the plus side in my hunt for the article I managed to come across some magic armour that one of my players who has a Sorcerer PC will find useful.
