Queen's Gambit

"We are but weary travelers in our days. However, the quiet slice of home lured us to rest our heads in the safety of the Wanderer's Return. Aye, we may venture ourselves but we know we have a home to come back too. Rather it was her good ol' days of mere mercenaries or a tavern for adventurers of all sorts; she shall forever listen to our stories. For we all have story to tell."

The Crew

Guildmaster, Braeya Vilheim

Braeya started QGA as a result of subcontracting various muscle to complete private contract mercenary work for GC. When it clicked that Braeya had a knack for choosing the right people for a job, and the connections to bring about steady work, a more official company was formed. Upon purchase of a proper home and hearth for the company, Braeya has settled into more of an administrative role, sourcing and approving hunts and contracts and handling the business aspects of QGA. Though she can still be found out in the field from time to time to provide conjury backup, most of her trips away from the hall are of the business and networking variety.

Loremaster, J'taliaa Rhuwa

J'taliaa and her tribe are the primary supplies of the guild hall. While they provide herbs, potions, poisons, etc, they also provide their own hunters to assist. J'taliaa is also found helping with a large majority of the guild's public events.

Huntmaster, Maidar Qerel

Maidar joined QGA during the FC's early days, by crossing paths with lost members of the FC; helping them get home safe.

Hallmaster, Leon Dyce
