Looking for guaranteed gold? We will also be offering courier job offers to the western flank where you will be paid for your services. Guild Requests will come in the following suits: Collection, Escort, Hunting and Urgent Quests. We will have a shop to spend wildcard gold which we value at double its face value.

Last Rites for the Dead King: Entropy's Requiem Interlude
“In the spot where Entropy first entered this world lies Castle Requiem, a manifestation of the memory of the world consumed. From it have manifested some of the world’s people as well, primarily the Third Army of Ranterra, a fighting force of a once proud kingdom who have had to adapt to life in the Realms, our country and world long gone. Several years on since our arrival, we still struggle to move forward.
But now, we Ranterrans have heard of the heroes of the Realms’ exploits in combating Entropy last fall, and we reach out with a request. Somewhere in the woods near Requiem lies the corpse of Do’gran, former God-King of Ranterra and Avatar of Ran. He has been twisted by Entropy into a puppet of its will, a high blasphemy against a once noble man and his god. And so we request aid: to track down the dragon and put to rest this wicked heresy, so that we may perform last rites for the dead king.”
-Lord Sir Aldric Duxal, Paragon of Ran, Commander of the Third Army of Ranterra
