The Sages

**The Sages** (**The Sages We Will Get the Job Done Not Necessarily On Paper The Sages for Short Full Stop)** are a rising group of adventurers in the Republic. Having first formed after "aiding" the local Reeve at Fort Uesli, they began journeying together to protect their young ward Johnny of Uesli, an upstart rebel. After several skirmishes and quest completions, their names have earned a tinge of recognition as promising adventurers. Not to be confused with The Superior Sages.

## Current Members

## Past Members

* **Johnny Briggs of Uesli**
	+ Johnny was a hooper's apprentice and domestic terrorist at Fort Uesli. The Sages resolved to smuggle him and save him from his execution. After meeting Lord Jasper Jasper, Johnny asked to become his ward. With a tearful goodbye (with a promise of reunion) Johnny joined the Electrum. They have since crossed paths with Johnny again in the Free Lands!
* **Aubree of Halli**
	+ A traveling wizard who joined the Sages at their request. Aubrey currently serves as the steward for the Aubergine Estate in Koruna.
* **Paladin Carolyn of Glass**
	+ After being convinced to break her Oath to the Sacred Souls, she joined the party. An upstanding paladin whose well-off father tries to dote on her, much to her chagrin. When the Sages prepared to enter the Free Lands, Carolyn bid her goodbye as her allegiance was to the Republic.
* **Sage, "6 Second Sage"**
	+ A founding member, and the namesake for the party. An awkwardly endearing warrior and tinkerer. Sage bid the group goodbye before the Demon Grinder heist to pursue his lost love.
* **Skuda Genarsh of Clan Blackfeather**
	+ Joining the Sages on their way to Apprenditis Arcamedis, a forge cleric who praises Valhalla and her ancestors. She eventually accepted the position of Head Smith at House Byron, bidding goodbye to the Sages as they prepared for their Everglacier quest.
* **Sir Steven Byron**
	+ Entreating the Sages to assist his family in negotiations with House Cecil, he joined the party while on their way to the Free Lands. After the Sages successfully negotiated peace between Houses Byron and Cecil, he returned to his House and bid the Sages goodbye.

* **Cypress, "The Tower"**
	+ A founding member, and former goddess of the party. A brusque former divine displaced into the body of a soldier.

## Base of Operations

### The Aubergine Estate

After Cimillion's passing, the Spices agreed to leave the Aubergine Estate to Delilah. A dilapidated mansion in the Estates district of Koruna, it was the first property the Sages acquired as a party.

Currently, Aubrey of Halli serves as the steward for the estate. After Delilah encountered her long-lost brother Vanaria, she entreated him and his group, the Sacred Souls, to abandon their criminal lifestyles and pointed them toward the Aubergine Estate as a refuge. They are there currently.
