Daily Life with the Brigade

After joining the Brigade, the daily life of a guild member can vary based on their interests, needs, and requests made by leadership.

## Arrival & Getting Settled

Upon first arriving at Nadir's Zenith, new guild members are typically introduced to the township proper by the people who recruited them, introducing them to the leaders of the guild (if available) as well as other people or areas around town.

### Housing

There is an ever-growing neighborhood of various sized/shaped cottages that have clustered in the Theldirk Barrows. A number of them are pre-constructed in order to house new recruits, often in an apartment-esque arrangement of 3-8 individual bedrooms per building. Oftentimes, new recruits seek to live by or in the same building as those recruiting them.

As more trust is gained in the new recruit, they may chose to select and move to a new structure entirely, either having a new building be made for themselves/their allies or moving into Nadir's Zenith itself. A perk of being a Brigade member is that all costs of housing are paid for by the guild proper, though they will cease assistance to an individual if property destruction becomes too rampant.

### Socialization/Making Friends

While Brigade members are often sent out on missions of varying duration and difficulty, many guild members stay at Nadir's Zenith or an accompanying tower/outpost for months at a time without taking any long trips. They may be met while at a public dining/socializing area and befriended, given that both players behind the characters agree that such an arrangement makes sense.

Otherwise, typically most friends are made while on missions, earning respect and interest in one another as they pursue a similar goal and learn about each others' abilities.

### "Full Membership" Tower Tour

Upon being fully accepted as a full-fledged member of the Brigade, guild members are allowed to properly see Nadir's Zenith for what it is, as well as access all of it's amenities. Mr Curse gleefully gives tours to anyone newly gifted this accessibility, describing how the tower works and what each floor is dedicated to.

## Responsibilities

Though working with the Brigade is a rather sweet deal, with free housing and access to towers that allow members to travel all across the continent of Halintar, there are some base level responsibilities that all members are expected to attend to.

### Going on Missions (Oneshots)

The most envied of tasks is going on missions for the Brigade itself, which can vary in scope and difficulty but almost always entail some sort of reward of money, knowledge, and/or other resources. They typically require that the guild members leave in a party of 3-6 individuals to reach a separate location and complete tasks requested by other Brigade members or leadership.

### Guard Duty

Considering their proximity to their largest threats- Curunthsh, the Thunderfleet, and the Glitterati, the locals at Nadir's Zenith are always on alert for potential dangers coming their way. This mostly entails having several members serve guard duty for several hours at once, though this often only needs to be served a couple of times a week at most. They're often posted in groups of 2-3 in one location, sometimes made to walk to and fro around the outer edges of town.

#### Hydranland Prison Guards

There is a high-security prison kept in Hydranland, where powerful (and often arcane-based) criminals are kept in order to protect the rest of the continent from their dangerous actions. They are treated well enough, given food and necessities to live and entertain themselves, but none of stayed long enough or served enough of a sentence to be released just yet.

One individual, Bronte Stormlight, was given to the Brigade by the Lightning Tribe in order to execute him as far from his homeland as possible. This is the only recorded instance of an execution occurring at the tower proper.

### Public Services

There always tends to be something either under construction or repairs around town, and while it's not expected/required/rewarded, the community greatly appreciates any assistance Brigade members may offer. Local businesses are also happy to accept any assistance with managing their stock or selling their wares.

### Self-Improvement

While not doing anything else requested by the guild, Brigade members tend to actually have a fair bit of free time. Some may choose to lounge about or relax between their adventures, but others may access the various training facilities or libraries in order to improve upon themselves and their skills. This is also often done with others who have similar interests, allowing them to learn from one another.
