Adventurers Guild of the Central Continent

Structure

The guild is divided into 3 sections which are further subdivided into 6 ranks that have different responsibilities:

Logistical Branch

The Logistical Branch serves as the foundation for the Guild to function properly, by providing the basic necessities and services required for everyday running of the guild and Rest, the members are highly respected individuals who are seen as the backbone of the Rest and are often greeted with open arms anywhere in the Central Continent.      
RankObligations
Sprout This rank is reserved to fresh joinees of the logistical branch. They are considered a part of the guild, but lack benefits and responsibilities of the other ranks. Their main responsibilities are apprenticing under Planner's while they learn their crafts, as well as sometimes serving as builders for public works. At any time no more than 10% of the guild can be Sprouts so registration to the logistical branch is quite limited.
Primary Logistician This Rank is the largest of the Logistical Branch, its members consist of the people who oversee the local levels of trades and infrastructure, They are offered certain benefits such as a pension, housing and medical care. These benefits are relatively small but tend to make for a comfortable life. Their main responsibilities are:
  • Using carts to move goods and perform local trade
  • Work as dockworkers, Carpenters, Artisans and other specialty trades
  • Messengers and couriers
This rank occupies around 30% of the active logistical Branch members at any given time.
Secondary Logistician This Rank is the last rank considered as one of the "Enlisted". Members of this rank are normally members of the Primary Logisticians who either serve for enough time, beginner specialists in certain fields, and base administrators for the Guild. Their main responsibilities are:
  • Providing Specialty services that require advanced training (Nurse, Resident Doctor, BlackSmith, Armourer, etc.)
  • Managing teams of Logisticians in order to complete certain works.
  • Doing Paperwork and low level administrative tasks for the Guild.
  • Caravan Masters
This Rank is also where a lot of benefits start appearing, apart from getting an increase in pension and being granted larger rooms within the guild. They also receive exclusive contracts from the guild, a living stipend (on top of their wages), permit to purchase and use magic items, Family housing (if they are married to non-guild members), and even a small discount in Stouart's shop and Dragon's rest inn.   This rank normally encompasses around 25% of Logistical Personnel thus making it the second Largest Rank.
Mature Planner This is the first Rank that is considered to hold actual power and influence within the guild, as these guild members are normally the first time logisticians will lead teams of lower ranks, take charge of projects or positions, and have low to no oversight on how they perform tasks. These normally consist of more established members of certain specialties, middle administration, and distinguished Secondary Logisticians. Their main responsibilities are:
  • Leading Teams of Sprouts and Primaries in order to complete larger infrastructural projects

While not as large as the other members it still occupies around 10% of the Logistics branch at any given time, but the numbers may be as low as 3% depending on suitable candidates.
Great Planner Great Planner's are a rank restricted to only the leaders of the Guild, they are members who excel at their rank so much that the guild is deemed to be negatively impacted if they were to disappear. Due to this members of this Rank are not only granted oversight over their own branch of Logistics, but are also trusted with some of the secrets behind the guild's founding and even have access to the Founders and guildmaster. Their main responsibilities are:
  • Oversee a branch of Logistics
  • Creating new rules for the guild

Public Agenda

Protect the freedom of the central continent

History

Founded after the first expedition to the central continent in 365 ADT the guild was founded by Edrahil Mablung and Beardless Dwarf, under the watchful gaze of Stouart. At first the guild was just remainders of the ship they had taken to get to the continent, The leader of the guild (Aevir Anankol [beardless dwarf]) would remain alone, and before 10 years he would build Dragons Roost Inn as well as the first room of the guild, the remembrance hall for fallen heroes.    Aevir to this day remains the guildmaster. However, much like in his own adventuring times he most of the time left the guild to be run by volunteers and high ranking members while he went exploring. With the birth of his daughter Wenun this would once again change. Instead of leaving the guild to run for itself he would instead stay and establish a proper hierarchy, work as the arms master and head trainer as well as in some cases take requests. This led to the massive boom in adventurers coming into the guild, that is ongoing.
