Galderian Adventurer's Guild

The Adventure's Guild was recently chartered by the city as a strategy to deal with long term defense and prosperity. Membership in the guild confers a number of benefits with very few duties.

The Guild Hall is actually the largest tavern in the city, The Sparkling Lantern, run by the tavern keeper / guild master Glatram Brewsunder.

Benefits
The guild offers banking services and will give full value for any and all treasure recovered in the form of credit with the City's bank.

The guild acts as a clearing house for rumors and missions, funded by the city or by wealthy patrons, even providing escrow for any promised rewards.

Guild members may pass through the city gates unimpeded, without paying a fee or tax and, in most cases, though the territories of the West side ruins as well.

Guild members are exempt from any restrictions on weapons and armor carried in the city.

Duties
Membership must earned, and be renewed quarterly, by performing a special kind of retrieval mission. In various locations outside the city, no farther than half a day's travel, there are small, colored and marked stones that are about the size of a marble. They are called "patrol stones," and serve as proof that a party visited a specific location. The locations are in various ruins, caves, and dens that might be used for refuge for bandits or creatures. The guild works to keep these places clear.

The mission is always to take the stone from the given location and replace it with a new one that has different markings. In this way, the adventurer can prove that he explored the location and dealt with anything there that might cause trouble.

Each visit to a location earns or renews the membership of one member, but it is advised that members go in parties for safety.

Members also have a duty to report the results of their adventures undertaken through the guild. At least one character writes up (or orally presents) an Adventure Report to the guild master.

Beyond this, the only requirement for members is that they not break the law within the city.
