Guild: MONSTER

A burly dwarf, red bearded, double wielding his whirling handaxes. Together with his faithful boar companion they both run into battle with a fearsome battle cry trying to distract the large double headed Ettin that is walking towards a caravan full of much needed town supplies and clearly incapable wide eyed guards. A fully armored female Aasimar in all her glory raising her large tower shield yelling encouragements to the scared village militia that are lined up behind her as they look at a howling Gnoll raiding party closing in. A contemplating, older human wizard blowing a small sailing ship out of smoke from his pipe as he delves deeper into an interesting scroll depicting the anatomy of a Merfolk while taking notes. All three have one thing in common, a small six sided token on their person. One side an etching of the continent while the other side has an inlaid silver M.

The MONSTER Guild is a relatively unknown guild in most of the continent. Where most guilds center around big cities, no known location of an office is registered. You'll find that this guild, at the moment, is mostly spoken of in small rural towns on the edge of civilization.  Not surprising since most monsters are right there, on the edge of civilization. Here the humanoid races claim the monster's land, disrupting their peaceful way of life and are such, such easy prey.

Being a part of the MONSTER Guild means you're there if the innocent, the weak, the easily controlled and defenceless can't defend themselves, whoever of WHATever they are.
