Adventurer Rank System
Adventurers are people who are willing to take on the world's strange, difficult, and often unpredictable tasks. They are individuals who are brave enough to put their life in danger—and want appropriate pay for it. Mutual respect is fundamental in the Guiding Star Guild. Every member, regardless of rank, contributes significantly to the guild's success. Support your guildmates, and never forget that you are stronger together.- 6-Star Adventurer: Legendary. Fewer than 10% ever reach this level. These adventurers have overcome world-shaking challenges and are often known across multiple kingdoms. Many form elite teams or act as freelance agents of change.

Culture
Guild culture shifts slightly depending on region and services offered, but the heart remains the same:
Teamwork, storytelling, and mutual support.
Adventurers love sharing tales of their quests, often exaggerating them with flair. While some friendly rivalry exists, the guild strongly discourages “top-dogging”—trying to dominate others through status. The true goal is for the experienced to uplift the less experienced.
Mentorship is built into the system. Adventurers can request formal training or sponsor newer members through their early quests.

Public Agenda
The mission of Guiding Star is to support the underprivileged, mentor the upcoming generation of adventurers, and offer a reliable, non-governmental organization for aid, defense, and exploration. It provides defense, problem-solving, and quest fulfillment throughout Raygon and beyond, even though it is not a direct component of any kingdom's armed forces. Instead, it works in tandem with local authorities and laws.
History
Lando, an Elf cleric from one of Kingdom of Harmony fabled adventure groups, formed Guiding Star. Lando and his friends were placed under restrictions as the kingdom changed into a more structured and political system. They missed the straightforward satisfaction of personally assisting people.
After a disastrous subterranean mission in which they saved a party of young, unprepared adventurers from a lethal minotaur attack, they resumed their adventurous activities. The young people clarified that they had accepted the position on their own, ill-prepared and untrained. Inspired by the encounter, Lando and his supporters came back to Harmony with a new idea: a guild where the brave might be led by the wise.
The first Guiding Star guildhall was created from that spark. It is now a flourishing network throughout Raygon, a representation of adventure, hope, and a common goal.
