Adventurer Guild

Mission Statement

The Adventurer Guild seeks to provide a support structure for those seeking their fortune within the Devil's Fork. The pooling of knowledge and resources provided by the Guild allows for greater safety and exploration of the region to the benefit of all members of the guild. 

Rules and Bylaws

Members of the Adventurer Guild are expected to follow this fairly simple set of guidelines, and willful breach of them may result in penalties as determined by the either The Blade and Book or The Council of Masters depending on severity.
1. No Violence Among Guild Membership While rivalry may happen, and grievances among members are not uncommon, acts of violence are forbidden. Issues among guild members are encouraged to be resolved through mediation of senior Guild leadership as appropriate to the severity of member discord.
2. Earn What You Keep Adventurers are expected to come by their gains through honest work and exploration of the region, preferably guild tasks and/or registered exploration activities. Unregistered activities are permitted but discouraged, and 'claim jumping' the activities of other members of the Adventurers Guild is forbidden without expressed permission and notification from the guild.
3. Conduct Yourself In An Orderly Manner Within Vendrick's Fall All members of the Adventurer Guild are expected to obey the laws of Vendrick's Fall. The clout of the Guild has afforded members of the guild several special exceptions to local law, including the public possession of arms and armor, as well as certain understandings for rest and relaxation activities. However, flagrant abuse of these privileges may result in penalty assessment by guild authorities. 
4. Membership In Other Guilds Is Permitted But Not Encouraged Members of the Adventurer Guild often possess a broad skillset, and such skills may be encouraged to join other guilds which cater to their more specialized skills. Membership in these other guilds is permitted, however the responsibilities of the Adventurer Guild is expected to take priority over outside guild activity. Additionally, if joining an additional guild, Adventurer Guild members are to conduct themselves within those guild's rules as representatives of the Adventurer Guild.

Organizational Structures

The organization of the Adventurer Guild is largely a meritocracy, where ascension through the ranks of the Guild is tied to the accomplishments of the member. The most senior and accomplished adventurers serve as members of The Blade and Book, the ruling counsel of the Adventurer Guild. Senior members of the guild are responsible for evaluating the skills of junior members, elevating junior members based on their accomplishments, and providing adventuring tasks for members that have been assigned to them.
