===Ideology=== | |||
The Gurus believe in the idea of following one's 'path', an idea reminiscent of traditional Taoist beliefs. They follow what they perceive as the true path set out for them and determining if their actions live up to their chosen path. Their members act with clear reason and intent, and they do not label others as an ally or enemy. To them, there is only doing what needs to be done. | |||
Because of the members' beliefs, they typically don't jump into action when it comes to [[The Game]]. This is because there are countless disputes within the guild's ranks, making it difficult to coordinate group efforts.<ref name="ch13">[[Release Campaign:Main Quest Chapter 13 Prologue|Chapter 13: Invaders ~Undivine Destruction~]]</ref><sup>10</sup> | |||
===Members=== | |||
Unlike other guilds, students at [[Umamichi Academy]] don't typically join the Gurus, even joining other guilds entirely. However, some from other schools are drawn to the guild themselves. The membership is described to be fickle, with people coming and going as they please. | |||
{{Transient icon|Sanat Kumara}} is not a member of the Gurus, but his actions have had an important impact on the guild's formation and growth because he ensures that no one strays from their true path.<ref name="ch13"></ref><sup>10</sup> | |||
