If the membership of a House ever falls to fewer than three players or a new prelate cannot be found, the Keeper may serve a notice of Dissolution. Allowances may be made in certain circumstances, for instance when a House has many characters owned by a single player or when certain members are absent from the game for a known period of time. The notice is posted on the House forum and requires that all members find service in another House within a week. Anyone who has not found a new House will be downgraded to postulant status and is subject to removal from the guild if they do not join a House within a further thirty days.

The seals of the dissolved House will be removed from the Great Hall. The forum will remain in the archives should any attempts be made to revive the House in the future, which would have the same requirements as forming a new one.

Any Gilfane member can be summarily dismissed from the guild by the Keeper if they are in serious breech of the Gilfane rules, are otherwise bringing the guild into disrepute, or they have ignored previous warnings about behaviour. For a prelate to be dismissed, the Keeper has to bring the proposal before the Landsraad who must vote in favour of the action.

A Prelate may expel a member of his House for similarly breaking guild rules or those of the House. When dismissed, the member returns to the rank of postulant. The prelate should inform the Keeper of the action by posting on the Landsraad forum. The Keeper will then decide whether to expel the member from the guild or, if the incident was only an in-House dispute, allow the postulant time to find a new one.

A guild member is eligible to form his own House provided that he has been a full member of the guild for thirty days and has not been head of any other House in the previous thirty days. To form the House, the member must have the backing of two other houseman (players, not characters) who would join with him. He must then present his ideas to the Keeper, who may reject the proposal, defer any decision or give provisional approval to the plan. For the proposal to be fully accepted, the guildhouse must be ready and the Keeper must have confirmation from the additional two members. The final step is for the prelate-designate to brings the House seals to the Great Hall. Once they have been put in place on a pedestal, the House becomes active.

Transition is the process by which a houseman moves from one House to another. If a houseman wishes to make such a move voluntarily, courtesy dictates that he should either post his intentions and reasons on his current House forum or contact the prelate directly and give 48 hours notice of any move. The prelate of the House he wishes to move to should also contact the other prelate to seek permission for the transfer. Once the permissions are given, the move is finalized. However, the action is completely under the control of the houseman and the receiving prelate so no notice or permission is actually needed, for instance if the prelate of the original House is absent or if relations between him and the houseman have soured.

Rather than summarily expel a member from his House, a prelate can instead ask him to leave by serving a Notice of Transition. This gives the houseman warning that he is required to leave the House but allows him a period of time (as determined by the prelate) to find an alternative.

A Vote of Investiture takes place if the Keeper is removed from office, intends to retire or is absent for an undue length of time. The procedure is administered by the highest ranking member of the Lansraad who is not intending to run for office himself.

The administrator solicits for candidates in a post on the private forum. Anyone who wishes to be a candidate should reply to the post and state why he thinks he should be made Keeper. If a Keeper has just been removed from office, he may still apply as a candidate himself (thereby seeking re-election by popular vote). The period for nominations is four days. At the end of this time, the administrator lists the names of the candidates in a seperate thread and, at his option, may endorse one of them. He then invites all guild members except postulants to vote for one of them. If there is only one candidate, the vote is a simple 'aye' or 'nay'. Voting is carried out in public by replying to the candidate summary thread and will last three days. The candidate who receives the most votes will be appointed Keeper. If there was only one candidate, he must have received a majority of the votes.

The Keeper is officially installed at a ceremony in the Great Hall. To complete the rite, the highest ranking member of the guild (other than the Keeper elect) must hand over the Staff of Law to the new Keeper, who must then strike a blow with it against that person for daring to handle the sacred weapon improperly. After this, he places the Staff back in its rightful place and is officially made Keeper by transfering the GM rank to him.

A Vote of Confidence can be brought by a houseman as a challenge to his prelate if he feels the House is being mishandled or badly administered. To start the motion, the member should post on the House forum with the subject 'Vote of Confidence' and his grievances in the body. He should then inform the Keeper who will administer a House vote. The vote will be 'aye' to support the motion (oppose the prelate) or 'nay' to reject it (support the prelate). Voting lasts three days.

The result of the vote gives a measure of the prelate's popular support which he should take note of. If his disapproval rating is over 33%, he would be advised to take immediate action to resolve the problems. If his disapproval rating is over 50% then he should consider drastic action or even stepping down. However, the vote is purely for show and does not force the prelate to do anything. A prelate can only be forcibly removed from office if he breaks the general rules of Gilfane.
