History

 

The Adventurer’s Guild was originally established in the encompassing wilderness of Varendoz, Aeldin. The Guild’s master, Renhalt started out as a coin for hire attempting to make a living off of the fruitful, and often daunting life of a beastmaster. A few years into his trade Renhalt came into the employ of Gawain d’Auvergne, an upstart Auvergnian noble from the crownlands with relation to a line of exiled Savoyards, the Ashford de Falstaff family. Renhalt and the few retainers in his employ were hired to slay a swamp drowner in the bog outside of Auvergne, but after seeing Renhalt’s efficient work Gawain decided to hire the beastmaster on a permanent basis. A few years down the line, with the wide scale corruption and infighting in Aeldin the two decided to depart to the newly established lands of Atlas, where they took up residence under Duke Ratibor Carrion in the Duchy of Adria.

 

Two years into their stay in Atlas, Renhalt branched out from House d’Auvergne and started to map out the outlying wilderness of Adria, cataloging a plethora of flora and fauna new to the world. With the wide scale urbanization of the Duchy the forests began to shrink, stirring up many unruly creatures. More and more attacks began to plague the realm. Beasts such as gryphons, wraiths, liches and drakes had been seen in the mountains surrounding the area. With the increase in fatalities due to these creatures, Renhalt founded the Adventurer’s Guild inside the County of Auvergne, hoping to quell the onslaught of incidents.

For years the guild thrived, hiring a slew of new adventurers. As the guild grew bounties began to increase in difficulty. The reputation of the adventurers spread throughout Belvitz into neighboring cities in the Empire. Once talk of fleeing to a new continent began to propagate throughout Oren the guild decided to split ways, the bulk of the members taking up residence with various Heartlandic houses in the Empire, most notably the Falstaffs of the County of Leuven.

 

It took almost four decades for the remnants of the guild to again establish a foothold in the realm. The wilderness of Arcas was not nearly as plentiful as the last continent, and with the chaos surrounding Leuven and Guise due to the wars against the Pertinaxi regime, many lost their lives before having a chance to reform the troupe. Armande de Falstaff, last surviving male of the prestigious line that made a name for itself due to the family’s artistry, expertise in adventuring, and political acumen, decided to call upon those who once felt the bane of wanderlust that only adventuring could quell. In 1764 the guild was reformed, in the outlying bog encompassing the Barony of Guise.

 

Mission Statement

 

While the Guild’s main focus is to rid the world of unnatural threats, it does also attempt to preserve and maintain the current status-quo; only when a creature steps outside of its boundaries does the Guild see it necessary to involve itself.

 

The troupe prides itself on its in depth catalogue of creatures it has attained over the years of exploration. In no instance will guild members go out of their way to harm or endanger wildlife that is not causing direct harm to the realm.

 

________________

Guild Ranking Hierarchy

 

Guild Master

 

Incumbent: Armande de Falstaff

The Guild Master is tasked with the general overseeing and management of the Guild. 

 

Guild Vice-Master

 

Incumbent: VACANT

The substitute Guild Master, capable of acting in the same authority as the Guild Master. Assumes total control of the Guild in the absence of its primary chief executive.

 

Guild Clerks

 

Men and Women of the Guild tasked with the overall organizing and dispatching of Adventurers to their appropriate Bounties and Requests. They are paid on an annual salary and cannot register to become Adventurers due to the potential of scheming and liability issues.

________________

 

The Adventurer’s Corp

The ones tasked with carrying out the Guild’s primary reason for existence - the Adventurers. Responsible for delving into unknown wilderness, or scouring the depths of a long forgotten ruin. They are the front-line against the unnatural, paid contractors that protect the Realms of the Descendants.

________________

Carbaurum-class Adventurer:

The apex of their field, the Carbarum Adventurer is one who’s mettle has been tried and tested countless times. Unmatched by others in their field as distinguished monster hunters, they are tasked with contracts of extreme danger, but significant pay.

 

Arcaurum-class Adventurer:

Veterans of the Guild, Arcaurum Adventurers serve as figureheads for those of lesser rank, acting as captains on the field.

 

Aurum-class Adventurer:

The middle category, the Aurum-class is filled with standard issue Adventurers that have made monster hunting their primary way of life.

 

Ferrum-class Adventurer:

The regulars of the Guild, the Ferrum-class is the enlisted corp. These men have picked up the basic tenets but are not full-fledged members.

 

Copper-class Adventurer:

The introductory level of the Guild, these are the aspirants. New contacts and unindoctrinated members fall here.

________________

As it stands at this moment, Adventurers may only claim Bounties relevant to their class in order to best minimize damage, however, Adventurers may Party up with high-classed comrades. Guild Identification is required to be shown in order to process their Bounty through.

 

In order for an Adventurer to be promoted within the hierarchy, they must have completed a certain amount of Bounties to what their class demands as well as having to complete a designated Bounty of their target class. And finally, they must fall in line to be analyzed by the Guild’s Own personnel.

Code of Conduct

While the Guild does not enforce these, every fledgling Adventurer should take these conducts to heart, to ensure a better working environment for everyone involved. 

 

• One shall not assault another member during a contract.

• One shall not steal from another member during a contract.

• One shall not fabricate falsehoods about achievements.

 

The Guild holds no issue with members having hostile relations with one another. It does request that Adventurers prioritize upon their contracts rather than one another.

________________

!CAUTION!

Adventurers should only be hunting down creatures and beasts that are of their own class. Those within the low ranks are advised to attach themselves to a group of higher ranked Adventurers in order to acquire more experience in the matters of monster hunting.

 

The Guild does not take responsibility for Adventurers injured or killed during their contracts.

A letter would arrive at Halred’s residence, bearing the Varendozic adventuring seal. “Thank you for your interest in the guild. If you would like to arrange an interview seek myself or another guild member out. We can be found in Haense, Helena, and the Barony of Guise outside of Kaedrin.” -Armande de Falstaff, Guildmaster
