The Guild Dog's Guild Generator

The guild generator is composed of two, what I call, d40 tables (roll a d4 and a d10, look at both results separately, consult table). The first table will give you the guild’s expertise and the first part of their name, the second will give you the guild’s modus operandi, the thing that separates them from guilds of the same expertise, and the second part of their name.
Each “block” on the d40 table is further broken down with a d6 for different expertise and names, and a d4 for different modus operandi. Expertise, modus operandi and names sharing a block will all be thematically similar. You can either pick the expertise, modus operandi and names from the list you get on the d40 die result, or roll more dice to get totally randomly determined results.
Once you have a expertise, modus operandi and two name parts you combine them all together to get the seed of a guild.
Expertise:
This it the guild’s “core business”, their work, the thing that they create or service that they provide. The listing for expertise are generally a broad, allowing for many different guilds operating with the same expertise.
Modus Operandi:
This is what separates the guild from all other guilds with the same expertise. This is the thing that influences everything the guild does, their soul. The results here can be interpreted in any way that will result in a weird and  interesting  guild.
Two part Guild Name: Each “block” has a set d6 half guild names. Combining the two halves together should give a name that is reflective of both the guild’s expertise and modus operandi. Rather than being completely random names , the names should give a decent indication of what the guild is like. Some re-arranging, working will be required at times to ensure the names don’t sound too wonky (for example, I think there is too much “of the suchandsuch” in the second half name section - getting rid of the “of” may sound cooler).

Examples:
Guild Name: Scintillating Emptiness.
Expertise: Economics.
Modus Operandi: Work is fake, shams and bad copies.
Seed: Scintillating Emptiness guild monitors, regulates and provides auctions for  the counterfeiting market.
  
Guild Name: Bristles Of The Deep
Expertise:  Keeping of Beast pits.
Modus Operandi: Guild conducts all work beneath the earth - rarely ever visiting the surface.
Seed: Bristles Of The Deep is a guild of albino troglodytes that runs underground fighting pits. The most bizarre of underworld creatures are bet upon in their caves.
  
Guild Name: The Binding of the Tendrils,
Expertise:  Woodworking,
Modus Operandi: Guild’s effects are insidious but it is barely known, little more than a rumour,
Seed: The Binding of the Tendrils are allegedly responsible for installing undetectable widgets in the vast majority of the buildings in The City. The reason for this, or the effect of the widgets, is unknown.
