Heroes Guild Apprentice

   A Hero in Albion is not always some shining beacon of good who saves maidens and fights dragons (though that does tend to happen). Hero is a title bestowed upon you by the Guild of Heroes. It means you have the privilege of accepting work from the Guild, but more importantly you have the protection and advantages that come with being associated with the most powerful organization in Albion. The oath you take as a Hero is to defend Albion in times of war, protect the Guild from foreign and domestic threats, and to allow the Guild to take a cut of the reward from each quest completed in their name. 

  You may be native to Albion, taken in as a gifted orphaned child, or come from a far away land in search of a new life. No matter your past, you were lucky or brave to be given the opportunity to join into the prestigious Heroes' guild as an apprentice. During your time as an apprentice you may have specialized in combat or dungeoneering training, or spent most of your time practicing magic and studying Arcana or History within the Guild's Library. The Guildmaster and other Heroes acted as your teachers and mentors, some lead by example and some taught with harsh treatment.

  Upon graduation you received your title, were gifted your Guild seal, and set out into the world to claim your fame and fortune.
