The Seekers

Overview

The Seekers are a guild of bounty hunters headquartered in Vorfield. They have a small chapterhouse in both Basinport and Bridgeport. Members of the guild are simply called Seekers. The ruling body of the guild consists of a council of five elected Seekers. This council is named the Council of the Found. The leader of the council's title is the Master Seeker, with the other four holding the Stalker title. The ranking of titles within The Seekers is as follows:

Ranks and Roles

Master Seeker - head of the Council of the Found, overseer of the guild and head of the Vorfield chapter of the Seekers.
Stalker - member of the Council of the Found. As a rule at least three members of the Council of the Found must remain in Vorfield at all times to act as an emergency tribunal so this role has become largely a political one and most Stalkers have retired from actively pursuing contracts.
Guide - a Seeker who has formed a chapterhouse in a city away from Vorfield. They are the leader of that chapterhouse and answer directly to the Council of the Found. They are directly responsible for guaranteeing any contracts accepted within their domain. The Guide is a hybrid position that requires juggling both the political and active hunting roles. Warder - a Seeker who was proven both their valor and skill in completing contracts successfully and have brought much glory to the guild. A Warder can only be named with unanimous decision by the Council of the Found
Member - a Seeker who has successfully closed at least three contracts is promoted from Initiate to Member. This can be done by any Warder or Guide. Members have proven themselves to be competent and have not tarnished the reputation of the guild.
Initiate - a fledgling Seeker, many do not survive this rank as many a young adventurer aim to raise their status and the Seekers welcome any who abide by the rules to join.
Fixer - Supplier/Quartermaster. Each chapterhouse will have a Fixer. The Fixer has historically been a local merchant subsidized by the chapterhouse to provide discounted wares.
Negotiator - Handling disputes related to contracts, the Negotiator has nearly full autonomy within the guild, reporting only to the Council of the Found. The Negotiator is seen as an impartial final judge for any disputes betwen the guild and members, the guild and contractors, as well as occasionally between the guild and bounties.
