Adventuring Guilds

## Synopsis

In the past century, adventuring guilds have become increasingly prominent all throughout Materi. For a membership fee, guilds provide their members with lodging, adventure leads, healing, access to the members-only magic item trade, and a place to meet with other adventurers and form parties.

## List of Guilds

Below are the most prominent adventuring guilds of Materi.

### The Pathfinders' Alliance

### The Second Dragons

Its president is Golden. It is a mid-sized guild, with about thirty members. Most are local, but some are from other places, and have chosen Rowan House over other guilds for its legacy and reputation. Membership costs 30GP/month, but is not required to trade magic items. Membership includes the same Weavers Conclave benefits as The Pathfinders' Alliance, in terms of reduced registration costs, etc. Similarly, a license is required for any magic user to join.

Oro Gloria (literally translated as "Gold and Glory" in gnomish) is a small adventuring guild that operates out of Sibillini.

### The Red Leopards

*Insignia: A Red Leopard*
