Guild of Venturers

The Guild of Venturers was formed in Númenor by Prince Anardil (the future King Tar-Aldarion) in the Second Age, for the purpose of exploring Middle-earth. Its guildhouse was located aboard Anardil's great ship Eämbar, which was moored on the small island of Tol Uinen, named after the sea Maia, Uinen. Tol Uinen was located in the Bay of Rómenna.
==History==
In Númenor, the guild was called the Uinendili. Uinendili meant "Lovers of Uinen". The members of the guild were strong devotees of Uinen, the Lady of the Seas, whom they believed favored their journeys. Members of the guild were considered the most adventurous men of Númenor. The guild made journeys across Middle-earth. They would travel from the Northern Darkness to the far south all the way down to the Nether Darkness. They traveled the inland seas of the east towards the Walls of the Sun, which was as far as they would dare to venture. The only land the guild did not travel to was the Undying Lands of Valinor, as they were not permitted to sail west due to the Ban of the Valar. The Guild of Venturers gave the Númenóreans the title of Kings of the Sea.Unfinished Tales, Part Two, "Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner's Wife"
==Adaptations==
===The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power===
In the show, there is a Númenórean organization called the Sea Guard. While it isn't known whether the Sea Guard is an adaptation of the Guild of Venturers or the Coast-guard, it has similar functions. The Sea Guard charges any cadet wishing to join with passing a test or challenge known as the Sea Trial. Whenever the Sea Guard returns to Númenor, the cadets are led in a praise by the Sail Master: "the sea is always right!".
