Scholars' Guild

== Overview ==
The Scholars' Guild is a place for scholars from all over Abexilas to gather. It can be considered the descendant of the Scholars Guild that previously existed but that became inactive. The goal of the guild is to preserve and spread knowledge while providing a safe space for scholars to learn from each other. It was founded by the scholar Khamika Hellebarnn, also known as elerpablo. All members have to swear an oath to "Protect knowledge and spread it freely to everyone." Although it is quite a new guild, they have seen an exponentional growth since their founding, and they have already left traces in the world. The most notable of their projects is the Preservation of Landmarks Project.
The Guild has very humble origins. It started of as a small group of four scholars, traveling the world and supporting other scholars. They quickly earnt a reputation as trustworthy and kind throughout the world thanks to the help they offered people since what they did changed the world for the better. As more and more people from across the worlds heard about them, scholars started to want to join them on their journey of knowledge, and belonging to their group soon became somewhat of a status symbol in the scholarly community, showing the scholars integrity. As more and more joined them, they slowly started to realise that their group of dedicated people had trancended the small group they once were, growing into something much more grand. This is when one of the original four scholars, Kamika Hellebarnn, decided to found the Scholars' Guild, taking over the role of the previous scholars guild, one that has now faded into the fog of history. As this guild was established it became a semi-centralized entity, but it was still very foucsed on its original mission, never loosing sight of its goal.
