The Spice Traders' Guild is one of the five ruling guilds of Poena. Its members, as the name suggests, trade spices and herbs across worlds, earning enormous profits, as certain spices don't grow everywhere. This makes them one of the city's wealthiest and most influential guilds.

District: The Guild owns a separate district—the "Spice Traders' District." It's a fairly closed area, and not all spice traders are allowed to leave their district. The district is described as a place where even the air is permeated with the spirit of trade and wealth.

The guildmaster is Muscat. One of the five guildmasters who make up the council that governs Poena. Muscat is an important figure in the city, and his words are listened to. It was him that Lololoshka had to "butter up" to gain entry into the guild.

Notable members:

Khaini is an anthropomorphic cat with an athletic build and gray fur. He wears a Spice Clan uniform with a gold belt and a shiny guild badge on his chest. Arrogant, proud, and self-assured, he's used to using money to solve everything. He's one of the few Spice Clan members who leaves his neighborhood.
The owner of the Herbalist's Hall is a guild member and the owner of a chain of establishments. He is proud, domineering, and narcissistic, but quite hospitable.

The Smugglers' Guild is one of the five ruling guilds of Poena. Its primary and unique privilege is the right to travel beyond the city walls. This makes them the only bridge between the Impossible City and the rest of the Between Worlds. The smugglers' main activities include forays into other worlds, hunting monsters, and searching for artifacts.

District: The Guild owns a separate district—the "Smugglers' District." Unlike the open-to-all Azure Harbor, this one is only accessible to guild members.

The guild's leader is Scar (real name Conan). He is a stern and strong man with a strong build, a short beard, and thick eyebrows. He wears a cloak made of the fur and skin of an unknown beast, leather pants, and a gold medallion around his neck. Scar speaks briefly and to the point, does not tolerate flattery or lies, and becomes very irritated when looked at in the face. Despite his sternness, he is capable of noble deeds—once, when surrounded, he broke through to rescue Ashra. He was once friends with the leader of the thieves, Snake, but fell out with him (the reason for this quarrel remains a mystery even to him).

Notable members:

Ashra is the commander-in-chief of one of the smuggling groups that Lololoshka belonged to. A daring but broken girl who grew up on the streets of Poena. She is Scar's daughter.
· Sal is a member of the Smugglers' Guild, Dan's partner, and guards the main entrance to Poena.

The Thieves' Guild is one of the five ruling guilds of Poena. As the name suggests, its members make a living by thievery, targeting both ordinary people and high-ranking officials. The guild even has a unique "hunt" among thieves for the right to steal a particularly valuable item, highlighting their reckless and competitive spirit.

District: The Guild owns the "Smell Grove" district. It's a green area, overgrown with plants and trees. According to Eo, thieves are "cunning yet cheerful fellows, the most pleasant company in Poen, and a joy to hang out with." This contrasts sharply with the grim atmosphere of the Assassins' Guild—thieves are far more open and friendly.

The guild's leader is Snake (also known as Salazar). He is an anthropomorphic snake with large green eyes and scales of gray and greenish hues. Snake is quite cunning and taciturn, a loyal friend of the smuggler leader Scar. Like many other inhabitants of Poena, he is capable of moving between worlds.

Known Members: One of the most recognizable thieves is Lis, the owner of the Pot-Bellied Fox tavern in Azure Harbor. He is a portly, middle-aged man with red hair and a neat mustache. He wears the standard thieves' outfit with green stripes. Despite his guild affiliation, Lis is a rather neutral character.

The Assassins' Guild is the most dangerous and also the smallest guild in Poen. It consists exclusively of professional killers, and accepts newcomers extremely rarely. As Eo says, "Remember: they are very dangerous." Guild members do not wear hoods.

District: The Guild owns the "Dead City" district. This is the only district of Poena to which Lololoshka has no access. It houses the herbalist's hall, three shops, and residential buildings:

· Herbalist's Hall - sells "Blood and Milk", green and black tea.
· "Raven's Claw" - Jesus' shop, which sells hawks (for assassins - at regular prices, for everyone else - with a huge markup).
· "The Living Corpse" is a shop selling artifacts for assassins, owned by the mysterious "Something".
· "Scribble Sisters" - sells stationery and weapons.
Vito's office is a workspace where orders are likely given. Two daskas are suspended in the quarter square.

The guild leader is Button (real name Tomo). She appears to be a young woman with dark hair and purple eyes, with a scar on the left side of her face near her eye. She wears a leather vest with fur trim over a purple shirt. Button is quite bloodthirsty, disrespects the other guild leaders, and nearly massacred Scar right in the square. She is against helping people and enjoys taking risks.

The Mages Guild is one of the five ruling guilds of Poena. Its members are exclusively mages, specializing in portal work and magical research. The Guild works closely with smugglers, purchasing artifacts and resources obtained from other worlds.

District: The Guild owns the Azure Harbor district, the only district of Poena open to all city residents. It's bustling with life: markets with stalls, vendors' stalls, and the Pot-Bellied Fox tavern. In the main square, mages open portals to any dimension for a fee—the only legal way to leave the Between Worlds.

The guild leader is Hat (real name Savos). He is a portly, elderly black man dressed in the blue uniform of a mage. He is distinguished by his enormous, cone-shaped, dark blue hat with light blue speckles. Hat is calm, level-headed, and able to see everything happening within the Interworld using the "Eye of the Interworld." It was thanks to this ability that he was the only guild leader to immediately defend Lololoshka when he was accused of aiding Faragonda. Hat also taught Loloshka how to open portals to the Interworld.

Personality: Eccentric, indifferent, and bloodthirsty. Prefers to get straight to the point, shows no respect for other leaders, and isn't shy about threatening them.
· Skills: Proficient in world walking (moving between worlds) and possibly a “drunken style” of fighting.
· Cruel "handwriting": She received her nickname for her horrific ritual - sewing buttons on the eyes of her murdered victims.

General appearance: Tall, slender young lady.
Face: Long dark hair, purple eyes. A large scar on the left side of his face.
Clothing: A black cloak with the guild's insignia. Underneath, a purple-pink shirt, red shorts with thigh-high stockings, and black boots. On the shoulders are pauldrons with red trim.

Role: Head of the Assassins' Guild in the city of Poena.
· Real name: Tomo (she received this nickname for her “signature” handwriting).
