Veðrfölnir's Guild

## About

Veðrfölnir's Guild, pronounced and sometimes spelled Vefolnir's Guild for simplicity, and also known among some of the common folk simply as “The Mafia”, is a group of mainly bandits and outlaws that reigned terror on the cities and towns well below them. However, the guild has recently adjusted its ways to be more peaceful, after systemic changes in its community. Despite this, older members of the guild still reminisce about the old ways of plundering and pillaging...

## Culture

Veðrfölnir’s guild functions under the the concepts of “Chivalrous Banditry” in which victims of banditry are not completely robbed from, but left with bare necessities that allow them to continue living and surviving, with the goal of eventually letting them rebuild their wealth… So that the guild can rob them again. This way, there will never be no more people to rob; there are always people to rob from. Killing victims is heavily frowned upon, and only to be done as a last resort

## Origins

When Njallo and his friends were originally ambushed by disorganized bandits living in an impoverished village in the mountains, the bandits were vastly outmatched by the strong labored hands of the group. However, instead of killing the bandits and moving on, the group decided to join the bandits and their village. The group taught the bandits of the village better ways of banditry, allowing for sustainable robbing and pillaging. Furthermore, the group taught the village ways of farming and tool forging, allowing the village to be less dependent on just banditry. As Njallo, Hjalmar, and (lucx) rose their way up the ranks of the village, they eventually formed the Veðrfölnir's Guild, taking control over the once impoverished mountain village and welcoming bandits across Forsvar to a new reign of ethical raiding, robbing, and plundering. Since then, the Veðrfölnir's Guild has expanded to the size of a nation, funding most its ventures through theft and manipulation of others.

## The Artifacts

After Arnfinn joined the guild, Njallo brought him to the main quarters, where he asked Arnfinn if he could look at the artifact carried by the tired man, a small chest with no keyholes or visible way to open it. On its body was the symbol of two eagles, identical to the one displayed on Njallo’s medal artifact. Intrigued, Njallo and Arnfinn analysed the two artifacts, seeing how they could possibly link to each other. After some searching, they found a small gap which fit the dimensions of the medal precisely, carved into the chest’s side. It looked like they’d found the key to the chest. Upon slotting the medal in, the snapping and creaking of old gears and pulleys filled the room, until the lid of the chest finally bent open, revealing… Old bottles, filled with solutions of differing color. An overpowering pungent smell soon filled the room, forcing the two to cover their noses. Giving the potions to the guild’s herbalist (insert Lucx name), the two took separated the artifacts, never giving a thought to the potions again. Unable to discover some of the potion’s uses, (lucx new name) put them up for sale at the local tavern, where travelers were welcome to buy the unknown vials of liquid.
