Role of the Adventurer’s Guild
Navigating the Cosmology
The Adventurer’s Guild serves as the keystone in humanity’s precarious survival amidst the cosmic chaos of the Forsaken Realm. As the only force willing—or desperate enough—to delve into the arcane mysteries of the Weave and confront the ancient powers that shape the world, the guild walks a treacherous path. They act as both mediators and scavengers in a world teetering on the brink of cataclysm, confronting primordial terrors, placating wrathful deities, and taming the devastating storms that erupt from fractured ley lines.
While some guild members are scholars who study the Weave’s fragile threads, seeking to repair its fractures, others are bold adventurers venturing into the ruins of forgotten civilizations to retrieve artifacts of staggering power. These relics, often tied to Leviathans or Ancestral Beasts, are coveted not only for their potential to mend the realm but also for the unimaginable wealth and power they promise. This dual purpose—salvation and self-interest—defines the guild’s complex nature.
The guild is both praised and feared for its interventions. Though their efforts often stave off disaster, their unquenchable thirst for knowledge and resources frequently exacerbates the dangers they aim to control. They awaken dormant Primordials, enrage jealous deities, or unearth forgotten pacts with the Ancestral Beasts, which ripple across the land in unpredictable ways. Yet, without their bold actions, no one would dare to stand against the encroaching abyss. In their halls, where plans are hatched and alliances are forged, the Adventurer’s Guild reminds all who listen that they are both the saviors and potential destroyers of the Forsaken Realm.
