Water Guild Syphoning Delegation[3]
The Water Guild (also known as the Mercator Nautica[1] or the Guild of Thirst[4]) is part of Necromunda's Merchants Guild and is responsible for the distribution of every drop of usable water on the Hive World.[1]
This includes all water, from the imported quantum spun ice water that is sipped by the Great Houses' nobles to the vast quantities of sluice run-off that are essential to many of the Hive World's bulk industrial processes. In between this is the recycled water that most of Necromunda's populace survives on, whose origin no one wants to dwell on for too long.[1]
Nautican Syphoning Delegation
- Master Nauticans are the representatives of the Water Guild when it comes to the procurement of drinkable water.[2]
- Syphonites who oversee the harvesting and refining of water.[2]
- Subnauticans, divers that keep the cisterns and reservoirs of Hive Primus functioning, but also double as able and heavily armoured bodyguards for the Master Nautican should the need arise.[2]
