The Adventurers' Guildhall of Lavonia

The Adventurers' Guild of Lavonia is a well-respected organization that attracts many skilled and daring individuals seeking to make a name for themselves. The guildhall is located at the edge of the Working Quarters, east of the North Gate, and is adorned with various trophies and artifacts that have been collected by its members over the years. Membership in the guild is open to all races and nationalities, as long as they are willing to abide by the guild's rules and regulations. One of these rules is that members must sign paperwork agreeing to be apolitical in matters between Lavonia and Markia, as the guild does not wish to become embroiled in any direct political conflicts.   The guild offers various services to its members, including job postings, training facilities, and equipment rentals. It also serves as a hub for adventurers to meet and network with each other, as well as to share information and stories of their exploits. This is done so at the expense of a small stipend to members, normally 10%, for profits made during expeditions and adventurers. In this way, large hauls supplement the new upcoming adventurers and encourage growth of one another.   The guild is led by a council of veteran adventurers, who are elected by the membership. The council is responsible for setting the guild's policies and overseeing its operations.   The Adventurers' Guild is widely regarded as one of the most reputable and reliable organizations of its kind in the region, and many aspiring adventurers dream of one day joining its ranks.   In the adventurer's guild, quests are categorized by their level of difficulty, and these levels are assigned based on an estimation of the challenge involved. However, the guild acknowledges that these estimations are not always accurate, and adventurers are permitted to take on quests of any rank, regardless of their own rank within the guild. In fact, some adventurers even prefer to take on quests that are considered above their rank, as it presents a greater challenge and a chance to prove their worth. As such, an adventurer's rank is simply a reflection of their experience and skill, rather than a limit on the quests they can undertake.
