Champions of Kayari
The Champions of Kayari are an adventurer's guild based out of Valorport, though they take quests from across Savinaru. They are the biggest adventurer's guild on Savinaru, and the best known. This has also led to them being one of the most beloved and hated. They are seen as heroes for defending people from monster, but are also seen as nosy snoops who are always getting involved in other people's business. The villains they foil also hate them, but that is to be expected. The Guild has earned more than its fair share of enemies over the years. From small time bandits and warlords all the way up to dragons and demons. At any given moment, there are about 5 plans to tear down Valorport that some monster or villain is trying to enact. One or two of which are even real threats. On the bright side, this means that there's always something for the Champions of Kayari to do. Not to mention all the random stuff going on across Savinaru. A wild magic storm rolls through, all the bears in the woods now have laser eyes, and now the local kingdom sends for the Champions to come deal with these new dangers before they start killing people or accidentally burn the forest down. A demonic cult starts trying to bring more demons into the world and once the Champions get word of it they send an adventuring party or two to go kick the demons teeth in and shut down the cult. A dragon decides to take over a kingdom by force, and now the Champions have to go dethrone a fire breathing tyrant. The Champions of Kayari take on any and all monsters, no matter the challenge.
Structure
Most of the Champions are divided into small groups. These bands of adventurers usually have their own names and banners to distinguish themselves. Each adventurer also has a Rank in the guild, and tend to group up with others of their rank. This rank is a measure of how combat capable the adventurer is, and thus how powerful of a monster their team can take on. The guild also ranks monsters on the same scale, and tend to match monster and hero ranks when possible. This ensures that they don't send their heroes into hopeless fights while also not wasting their strongest fighters on low rank quests.
While the bulk of the guild is the actual heroes who go out and do things, they can't do what they do without a central hierarchy managing everything. These administrators compile and hand out quests, keep track of which parties are doing what and where, report to the Valorport Council on how they're doing, and all manner of other bureaucratic management that needs to be done to keep the rest of the guild running smoothly.
Culture
The culture of the Champions of Kayari is very wholesome, with a sense of comradery and shared ideals cultivated by those in charge. The guild does this to make sure that their hundreds if not thousands of adventurers get along, and keep inter-guild infighting to a minimum. With this many people arguments are inevitable, but the guild tries to contain this to friendly competition.
Assets
The Champions' greatest assets are their adventurers. In addition to the quests they send them out on, many of them are powerful individuals in their own right. Powerful wizards with intimate knowledge of the arcane, masterful warriors who can cleave a building in half, Vessels of otherworldly beings who tap into this vast well of power, The Champions of Kayari have dozens of each of these and much more.
Military
The entirety of the Champions of Kayari are well trained adventurers, most of which regularly go on adventures to go fight monsters in some corner of Savinaru. If the Champions were ever threatened, these monster slaying skills would be put to use against whatever threatens their home and friends in overwhelming numbers. Their goddess Kayari also resides in their capital of Valorport, and will take up arms in the city's defense if needed.
