Editing Runner's Guild (section)

===<u>Seals</u>===

Runner Seals are used in a system to verify that Runners have delivered their parcels to the correct recipients. Recipients provide a matching seal to a Runner in exchange for the parcel. Seals are also vital for Runners to receive payment by turning in seals to a guild [Receptionist]. They can receive their pay whenever they like, but most collect a lump sum from the [Receptonist] at the end of the week.{{ref|1.26 R}} If the client does not mind paying in advance or on completion, Runners and Couriers can accept delivery requests without a seal, independently from the Runner's Guild.{{ref|6.17 S}}

​

Runners do not necessarily require a seal to verify a delivery, although they do expedite things.{{ref|4.35 E}} Alternative means of verifying a delivery include truth stones or spells.

​

Couriers use a different system from City and Street Runners. The recipient need not offer the Courier a seal. Courier Seals can bind a package, which unravels after a recipient accepts the delivery. The seal will record the recipients' faces and identities, location, and time of the delivery. It can then be used to verify a delivery by any mage.<ref name="2.16" />
