Valtari’s Warriors
Overview
The Valtari’s Warriors is a renowned adventuring guild established in honor of Valtari, the group's original Cleric. Her untimely death during an early mission left a lasting impact on her companions, inspiring them to create a guild dedicated to protecting young adventurers and the innocent.Known for their relentless commitment to fostering new talent and their role in major victories against demonic forces, the Warriors are a force for stability and hope in a chaotic world. Their influence spans both coasts of the Badland Bogs, with aspirations to expand further into the volatile Badland Bogs.
Founding and Legacy
Valtari’s Warriors bears the name of its fallen Cleric, who sacrificed her life during the group’s first encounter with a Monarch Tree Crater. Offered a chance to return by her god, Valtari chose eternal rest, leaving her companions to carry on her legacy. Her dedication to healing and protecting others remains the heart of the guild’s mission. During the same mission, Karma, the group’s Paladin, also fell but was resurrected as a Celestial Reborn. His new existence is bound to his Paladin Oath, as breaking it would lead to his instant death. This profound transformation shaped Karma into a guiding force within the guild, balancing his easygoing demeanor with a deep sense of duty.Major Achievements
The Defeat of the Monarch
The guild’s greatest triumph was the defeat of the original Monarch, a powerful demonic entity whose influence corrupted the land through an ancient cypress tree. This tree, grown around the Monarch’s Golden Helmet, spread a demonic infection that twisted the natural world into horrifying monstrosities. In a climactic battle, Itsuss Rage sacrificed himself to weaken the Monarch, allowing the group to strike the killing blow. Ebony Rage, refusing to be separated from Itsuss, chose to descend into the Hells alongside him. Together, they now rule as Demon Lords, maintaining a tenuous balance of power in the underworld. The remnants of this battle remain integral to the guild’s identity:Thwarting the Monarch Cult
Even after the Monarch’s defeat, its followers continue to spread chaos, particularly in the Badland Bogs. The Valtari’s Warriors have been instrumental in suppressing these cults, keeping the region livable.Other Notable Victories

The guild’s leadership is debating a naval division to combat piracy, pending reports from Lucky and Cass, who are adventuring as pirates. This potential shift could open new opportunities for glory and expansion.Opposition from the Bog Lord
The Bog Lord’s refusal to allow the guild into Fugleton remains a significant obstacle. His antagonism stems from seeing the guild as a threat to his control, forcing the Warriors to tread carefully while seeking local support.Legacy of the Founders
