Guild Interns at Your Service; Hired Help

 Those held in modest esteem by the Guild—trusted researchers, reliable freelancers, or recurring patrons—may draw upon the organization’s populous ranks for aid. Each major office maintains a roster of vetted assistants: apprentice archivists, lab runners, ritual aides, and para-magical technicians who stand ready to assist in mundane or specialized tasks. For many, this service is a first step toward deeper cooperation and trusted collaboration with the Guild.

Boons gained by building reputation with the Chronologists Guild offer characters practical resources for adventuring, investigation, and cosmic research. “Hired Help” at the Liked tier grants access to junior guild hirelings—skilled assistants, research interns, temporal technicians, or novice chronomancers—who lend their expertise for the duration of a mission.
