There is only one rule about joining, each player must actively craft or achieved a high rank in at least one crafting skill. The idea is to create a large alliance of active crafters to yield the most possible trade on the guild store (when it is unlocked) and to put your unused or unwanted materials or goods for destruction on the guild bank (to help others level their crafting).
Now for the RP side of things, we do not force you to roleplay in-chat, however I did make the theme and name of the guild with roleplaying in mind, since traditional gaming is a favorite pass-time of mine. The Arms of Zenithar is a order of knights and dedicated crafters, followers of Tamriel's Divine of wealth, labor, commerce and communication. The guild started when an old Orc became friends with a Nord and decided to form a Blacksmithing company. The name comes from it being an arms dealer and also that we are Zenithar's arms, because we are doing His work. (you do not have to be a pacifist to join AND yes we craft more than just metal goods)
This is as laid back as it gets, because it is JUST an IN-GAME resource of helping each other out in crafting and in general, there is no guild forum or voice communication (yet).
