You served with archaeological surveys, frontier expeditions, relic-hunting crews, or trade-charters pushing into the unknown. Your role wasn’t purely academic or martial—you were the one who kept the peace with locals, negotiated contracts, secured supplies, and made sure the crew survived both monsters and misunderstandings.
You’re equal parts guide, negotiator, guard-adjacent specialist, and logistics fixer.
8Some expedition brokers worked for universities. Others served merchant guilds, nobles, or treasure consortia. Some worked freelance. A few… never asked too many questions about who signed the paperwork.
