The Adventurer's Guild
Overview:
Have you ever heard a tale of adventure and treasure and dangerous monsters? Those stories, told to children as they fall asleep or to young adults as they set out to explore the world, are often inspired by the Adventurer's Guild. Adventurers are some of the bravest and/or most reckless people in all of Eos. If fighting dragons, digging up buried treasures or unlocking unknown and powerful magics draw your interest, then this is the Guild for you.
Despite how the public views the Adventurer's Guild with child like admiration and curiosity, what happens out of sight is often quite unsavory. Adventurers face all kinds of dangers when traveling the world- traps (arcane or otherwise), devilish fiends, cursed treasure and did I mention dragons? Due to the dangers that come with the job, the Guild has a high turnover rate- thanks to member deaths and those leaving the guild due to physical and emotional trauma.
If asked what it's like to be an adventurer, many would say, "To be an Adventurer is to be fearless, to risk one's life for the sake of a good story, and the promise of gold." The Guild's motto is easily digestible, but it sticks to the ribs.
The Adventurer's Guild has Halls in several territories, but its main Guild Hall rests in Redmere, the capitol city of Valeria. The open borders of Valeria tend to attract all sorts, and that bodes well for the ranks of Adventurers.
Leadership:
The Adventurer's Guild is run by two Bloodcursed elves, Sendra and Fayeth, or Sen and Fay as they prefer to be called. Happily wed, these elves lead the Guild as one unit, even viewing many of their members as family. That said, they are fairly strict on who is allowed to join, preferring to vet the new applicants themselves rather than giving the task to those of inferior rank within the Guild.
Sendra, the offspring of a Startouched elf (though it is a well kept secret, only known to those closest to her) and a noble of the human house of Duren, has strong, magical blood pumping through her veins. Despite her age nearly reaching quadruple digits, she still has many abilities that she has yet to learn to tap into, making her a bit of an enigma and an unknown danger to those who pose a threat to the Guild. Sen is likely the strongest member of the Guild in physical prowess and magical strength, and is certainly seen as the muscle between the two leaders.
Fayeth, the offspring of a Sunscorched elf and an unknown knight of Valeria, is a skilled and powerful warrior in her own right. Despite her prowess on the battlefield, her true talents lie in her intellect and tracking skills. Always one to take on any challenging puzzle, she thrives on adversity and loves to be seen as the underdog, so she can prove she should never be underestimated. More often than not, it is easy to see that she is almost always the smartest person in the room, or even the city.
