The Gilded Blades

The Gilded Blades is an adventuring mercenary guild based out of the legendary tavern The Heroes' Respite. They are funded and employed exclusively by GLOW, the merchant union of Emberstone. In exchange for their blades and magic, members enjoy the fame, fortune, and relatively comfortable lives. The vast majority of Gilded Blades retain responsibilities to other orders, religious or otherwise, but come to the tavern for the extra coin it provides for their pockets.

The guild is structured in a ranking system based off skill. Taking after GLOW's love of precious metals, the ranks go from entry level copper all the way to elite member adamantium. New adventurers have to crawl up the ranks and prove themselves in order to qualify for increasingly dangerous and consequently higher paying jobs. Each job can be viewed stapled to the walls of the tavern and has a prerequisite rank beneath it. The system is also structured so that in order to pass silver ranking, a group of adventurers must form together as a singular entity. This entity then ranks upwards and downward together with each success and failure.
