League of Heroes
An older guild of adventurers, now entirely replaced by the modern Guilds of Adventurers, Heroes, and Champions, The League of Heroes casts a dark shadow on the history of the sparked. Just 270 years ago, in the year 5862, a group of powerfully sparked adventurers, assisted by this League, attempted to overthrow the governments of Albion and place themselves in charge. Wishing for a mob rule, their brief reveolt was brought down by loyal heroes, with assistance from the gods. However, this event tainted the perception of adventurers for a good 50 years, and has been the primary justifaction for the overwhelming control modern nobles demand of their sparked ratainers.
Structure
Split into local chapters, but headquartered in Suthalbia, the league was more of a collection of chapters than an organized heirarchy, but orders from the top were generally followed.
Culture
Generally boisterous, with lots of bets, exaggeration, and general tomfoolery. Being mostly wealthy adventureres, they had a lot of time and a lot of money. Generally they did whatever they wanted, even some more unsatisfactory practices in the more removed chapters.
Public Agenda
Generally just to provide a social framework and space for adventurers. Typically they will no longer fit in with their hometown, and are generally snubbed by the gentry, so a space for likeminded and similarily abled people is very handy.
Assets
The members control a heck of a lot of gold and a heck of a lot of land, though less land and more gold than most gentry
History
Formed at the beginning of the second quarter of the 5th millenium after the fall, this league continued mostly just plodding along, absorbing and splitting for some 500 years, acting as a spot for adventurers to get together to find new allies, party members, and tasks.
Disbandment
Disbanded after attempting to support a peasant revolt calling for the destruction of the government and support for mob rule by the winner of a popularity contest.
