History

Founded forty years ago by a band of rangers who saved the local valley from a blighting curse, the hall has grown into the primary hub for elite mercenaries and monster hunters in the region. It has served as a neutral ground for various political factions to hire specialized talent without inciting official warfare.

Membership Requirements

Prospective members must be of at least the eighth circle of experience and provide the head or heart of a creature with a challenge rating of at least 10. A standard entry fee of 1,000 gold pieces is required to cover the initial warding ritual that grants the member access to the guild's private networks.

Active Contracts

Current high-priority postings include the retrieval of a sun-starved diamond from the Underdark and the termination of a rogue manticore pride harassing the trade routes. These contracts are restricted to members in good standing and offer rewards starting at 5,000 gold pieces or trade-in credit for rare magical components.

The Guild Hall is built atop an ancient seal that keeps a powerful wraith-knight trapped in the shadow plane. The monthly dues collected are partially used to fuel the protective glyphs that keep the seal intact.
