International Adventurers Guild

The International Adventurers Guild (IAG) is one of the largest guilds in the world, with wide-spanning influence. Like most guilds, their headquarters can be found in the Tensun Trading Company. The IAG is a conglomerate of various other guilds, such as the Mercenaries Guild, Crimson Guild, and Explorers Guild. Members of this guild pay yearly dues, and can upgrade their memberships through various means, usually involving gold and/or reputation. The guild is run by the Fair Fellows Council, a group the most notorious and noteworthy members of the guild. Members can only be added to the council if the majority agrees to it, or by becoming a Legend tier member.
The guild sigil is a roaring lion, behind which two banners criss-cross. One banner reads "Valoris", on the other "Gloria". The guild colors are gold and red, gold upon the roaring lion, red upon the banners behind it.

Though peace and trade are the foundations of this epoch's emerging globalization, guilds will be the glue that keeps it from falling apart. The International Adventurers Guild is perhaps the best example of this fact. Through the guild, multinational, multicultural groups are improving people's lives worldwide. Exposure is always the first step towards amalgamation. The sooner this world can dissolve the barriers they've placed between each other, the sooner they will be able to stand against what's to come. Some of the guilds members have already managed to unwittingly delay the inevitable, I hope they will continue to do so until this world is ready.
