They were looked down upon wherever they went, and generally only those working for evil enjoyed it, which further decreased the reputation of adventurers. After the Adventure Revolution, guilds were established and adventuring was acknowledged as a profession. It went from being an occupation of taboo to being desirable and dreamed about by children and youngsters all over Ropla.

Great article! I personally liked that you went into a lot of detail about the various adventure classes and used links perfectly and this made for a great article. There isn’t much to describe about the adventurers as no two adventurers are same so despite it lacking some information it’s still a solid article. Also the use of links here was pretty nice and that was enough to earn my like. Keep up the good work!
