Crossroads Investigation Company

Established in 1104 by Ser Regis Serat and Ser Eleanor Sophia at the behest of the soon to be king Toriss Keeper I. The CIC is a guild of investigators, charged with protecting the Valley from monsters, cult activity, or any kind of unexplained disappearances and attacks. With the military busy defending the border into the Lost Havens this fills a niche need in the always dangerous environment of the Northlands.
Until recently, the CIC had a well-known open-door policy for recruitment, accepting almost anyone that was willing to take on the dangerous work. There was an incident involving Thavius Kreeg, in which he was found to be an agent of Karakses, spying on Torana from within the ranks of the CIC. Because of this revelation, the CIC has stopped recruitment entirely, relying on the existing investigators for the time being.
Our party is a group of investigators from the CIC, who have recently come into possession of an ancient artifact, and been sent on an atypical personal mission from the King of Torana, to discovered what happened to a group of adventurers that left Crossroads just over eight years ago.

Structure

Most members are simply referred to as investigators both internally and by the public.
However, The Crossroads Investigation Company does have a very loose ranking system, determined mostly by the length of service.

• Initiate
• Associate
• Fellow
• Senior Fellow
• Master

(There are presently no members at the rank of Master, as the company's own set standard holds three years as a minimum membership to make Master, and the CIC itself has only been functioning for roughly 2 years.)
