History

Founded as the Seekers of Fortune strange finds by the treasure hunters led to them gaining enhanced strength and magical abilities. Recognizing the changes done to themselves, members slowly eliminated each other until only Russ was left. Taking over Russ restructured the guild moving it into the shadows and out of the public eye. The effects of the strange items on Russ forced it to hide itself from even the Syndicate, appointing Silver to act as its face.
