Shadow of the Torturer
Recently I stumbled upon a forum discussing the Book of the New Sun series by Gene Wolfe. From the discussion it sounded like something right up this class's alley. The series appears to be about guild oriented world rife with darkness and warped characters. However, based on the thread, there are a number of clues indicating that it is set not in a fantasy past as might be supposed upon first glance, but rather that it is set in the far future. It appears that the civilization forgot the technology that made it great and went into severe decline, to stabilize at a much lower level

I haven't but it's on my list to get to. Unfortunately, it just moved way down the list because I started the Malazaan Book of the Fallen series by Erikson which I only learned has like 13 volumes AFTER I got hooked by the first one haha.
