D'ni guilds
Note: Fictional details from the Myst franchise follow, and will be treated as facts.
The D'ni culture had, at its base, a number of guilds in which almost every aspect of society was covered in one way or another. All we have knowledge of at this point in time is the name of the guilds, and not much else. None of the games in the Myst franchise have shed much light on this subject. Information for each guild will be added as it is elucidated by any upcoming Myst games.
Below is listed the 18 Major Guilds as well as the Minor Guilds of the D'ni. The guilds listed are the ones known to have existed at the time of the Fall of the D'ni civilization.

Additional Information
The Guild of Fine Artists was once was a major guild, but was broken up into minor guilds by King Naygen in the year 2488 DE. At the same time, Naygen made the minor Guild of Miners into a major guild.
According to information from Richard A. Watson, noted D'ni historian, there was a minor guild that handled burial arrangements for the D'ni. We do not at this time have a name for this guild.
