Marching From The Fallen Star; Free Guild


 Adapted From- The Star Tide

This faction is a good fit for parties that pursue adventure for its own sake without being tied to a particular organization or faction. Groups that don’t choose to side with any faction are, by default, members of the Free Guild.

The Free Guild, a worldwide network that caters to adventurers, provides a vital support system for those who seek glory, treasure, and new experiences. This faction understands adventurers' unique needs and desires, offering them a place to rest, resupply, and connect with like-minded individuals. While most Free Guild establishments take the form of taverns, inns, or provisioners, their presence extends beyond these traditional settings.

For adventurers who value freedom, the thrill of the unknown, and the camaraderie of like-minded souls, the Free Guild is an indispensable resource. It symbolizes a shared spirit of adventure, providing a place to rest, regroup, and form new alliances. Within its walls, the dreams of fortune and glory come alive, and every tale begins with a simple phrase: "Once upon a time, at a Free Guild inn..."

What the Guild Knows:

On the edge of the known world, off the edge of the map, somewhere beyond a set of great pillars, an ancient order of the sky watchers are said to have built a temple. It's rumored that this same society built other temples, the ruins of which can still be found on distant islands in the Great Sea. An obsession links all with mapping the stars.
