During your first two weeks in the guild, you are a trainee. There is no certainty that you will become a Child of Yggdrasil. Failure to follow the Code of Conduct or being uncooperative with your Exemplar will result in immediate dismissal from the guild. Promotions are based upon the date you register as a member, not the date you were invited into the guild.
