Augury is a druidic and or nature based guild, which focuses primarily on the well being of the outside world. Members of this guild must be ready to either fight to protect from invasion, offer healing services using magic or potions, or do research. This research may include the study of plants and their uses in fighting or healing, learning what threats may arise in the world such as plague or unnatural beasts, and collecting knowledge on animal lore. Of course this research is not limited to these categories, and neither is anything else listed. These are merely guidelines to help understand the guild's purpose. If trouble arises, Augury must be ready and willing to fight back anything which might encroach on nature's territory and be able to heal the land and people from anything that might befall them. Augury is also not limited to a certain sect. We do not deny those warriors or monks who wish to truly help quell the destruction of war in any form.

Shindekus is a Mercenary guild focused around both receiving and delivering requests to those best suited for them. The Guild itself is formed of ranks within ranks, once enough actions are taken, or a Grand enough action is taken, One such member is allowed access to a Higher Tier "pass" These Passes allow Adventurers to access the higher difficulty requests based upon how High of a Tier their Pass is. The guild provides a place to stay as well as a place to gather wither other adventurers so one should be forced to travel alone. Shindekus representatives will accept all quests given to them and will send them back to the Guild base of operations to give out the tasks based on what type of skills will be required for the missions. The guild itself is willing to even offer such requests to outside adventurers should none within the guild be suited for the task. All requests that are taken on can either be taken on solo or they can be taken on in a small or large group. When working in a group, the Adventurer with the highest tier pass will determine the availability of harder requests.

The Silver Daggers Formed as a combination mercenary guild and outreach group, the Silver Daggers make it their mission to help the little people. If you find yourself, your problems, forgotten in the grand scheme of things and have nowhere else to turn, the Daggers are there to help. To the farmers, the fruit sellers, the barkeeps, the details of a journey across continents to fight a great evil don't matter. What matters is the farmer's fields stripped of grain by an army on the move. The tiny hamlets left with nothing after an unruly band of mercenaries comes through. Or the girl selling flowers to help her family who can't any longer, because monsters from her nightmare sowed her flower garden with the blood of her neighbors. It is situations like these, and countless others, that the Daggers gather to help. Be it picking flowers for a little girl, or helping an aging blacksmith with a large order of horseshoes, it is the intent, the desire to make the world a brighter place for the people that don't flock to the call of the horns of war. Gathering for the sake of others, not for glory, not for riches, only to bring a smile to a child's face, or dry a grieving widow's tears. That is the call of the Silver Daggers.

The Sisterhood of the White Lily is a company of women who share only one thing in common, ambition. In an effort to give women resources and room to succeed, the founding Sisters made a pact to pool resources and expertise to achieve high goals that would be otherwise difficult on their own. Sisters are expected to give any aid they can to one who requests it, as when one sister succeeds, they all benefit from having new assets or power to call on. All women who have the will to give aid and ambition to become greater than themselves are welcome to join. Often, girls in orphanages are also chosen to join the ranks and trained to be either sword-hands or magic users to aid elder sisters in their goals. The Sisterhood refuses men to join their ranks, as they believe women are the ones most in need of community resources, and men are capable of succeeding on their own. There are few rules once someone enters the sisterhood. There is no requirement for any member to like each other, but there is an expectation that no sister should have open hostilities with one another. Should any sister lag in their responsibilities for aid or become a detraction from the sisterhood, they will be banished, and at the worst offenses, made for the target of the sisterhood's wrath.

Throughout the realm Jars of unknown origin and temperamental, divine magic have been found. Sareniti, drawn to them, part of them has collected those found. These Jars, on opening, have been known to imbue those caught in the magical explosion with power. A power of a precarious and prophetic sight. Some are gifted with a third eye, others a tattoo upon their brow, and others an item. These people are the Sombulans. New to the land, they come from all walks of life. However, they all speak of a vision on receiving the power. Given a choice to accept it, they are all granted with the same vision on acceptance. A stark vision where Ariandor rises from the seas, floating high into the sky. Soon followed by that of a blindfolded woman with a multi-chromatic third eye. No one can say who or what the woman in the vision is, but it speaks to a great change coming. For now, they band together, joined by their shared vision and shared prophecy. They try to bring their visions to Tirradyn as warning and as hope.

Beastmasters are masters of the beast and creatures of the wild. They have an affinity for the wild creatures of the world, able to connect with them in a way similar to empathy.

Burglars are the refinement of the traditional thief and the art of stealing. These master criminals have matured into seasoned pickpockets and skilled liberators of loot. Most dangerous in any city or town, these criminals can walk into a shop and secure scores of wares without a single person noticing. The key is the sleight of hand, art of misdirection, and a bit of confidence. A burglar utilizes these tools by keeping the "mark", the victim, from noticing their misdeeds with normal behavior. A burglar calculates their mark's actions, their responses, and quickly steals what they want when their guard is down. Talent is important, but so is practice. Hundreds of attempts and years of practice are what mold these artists into the embodiment of their craft

The Cavalier subclass is for characters that want to excel in all things having to do with mounts and mounted combat. They are superb at all forms of riding and control of their mounts. Though they tend to bond with one animal and ride that one primarily for everything they need a mount for, they can ride any animal with equal skill. Cavaliers gain automatic maximum skill in both riding and animal training, which allows them to mount and break wild creatures into trained mounts.

The Champion subclass is for those characters that wish to play themselves as a true hero, a champion of causes, and a defender of what they believe to be right in the world. Champions, no matter the character's main class, will gain all attack numbers up to and including sixth attack, allowing them to be much more devastating with their weaponry. They also get a powerful bladesweep attack, which hits every enemy in the room with a double swing of their weapons. In addition, to help Champions excel in whatever they might do, they receive a permanent +200 bonus to hit points and also a permanent +10 bonus to critical strike. Champions tend to be supreme in whatever they want to accomplish, and give even heroes someone to look up to.

The Crusader subclass is for characters that believe in a pure cause, though for some that cause can be pure evil as often as pure good. Crusaders gain a permanent bonus to hit points of +200, and to critical strike of +10. They may also, at their own discretion, loot up to 3 times per day in cities, to gather money to fund the crusade, as they truly believe that the wealth of the people rightfully belongs in the hands of those that would use it for a true purpose. Whether good or evil though, all crusaders view the undead as impure beings, neither purely alive or purely dead, and to this end they have the ability to 'turn' undead. If the undead creature is not outright killed by this turning, then combat will ensue with the undead creature already with a large portion of damage done by the attempted turning.

As an Empath, emotions are your power. The ability to mold and manipulate the feelings of others make you who you are.

Be careful with those you keep close - no one with an Empath as a companion will be free of their emotional influence.

The Footpad subclass is for those characters that might be a little more nefarious. Footpads gain access to a few skills that normally only thieves have access to, which is helpful, though if you are a thief already, the Footpad subclass will not improve your abilities much. It is mainly for non-thieves, so that less moral characters might have a chance to play to those immoral virtues.

The Grappler subclass is for those characters that choose to have higher skill in combat without weapons. As a result of their training, all grapplers have maximum skill in the hand-to-hand skill, and also receive good bonuses to damage in hand-to-hand fighting on top of that. They gain the dislocate, bodyslam, and bodythrow skills, which are good grappling attack skills to be used in combat. They also gain suplex, a forceful grappling attack that can knock a foe prone. As if these things weren't enough they gain a unique 'chokehold' skill. Chokehold attempts to lock the Grappler's opponent into a chokehold. While in the chokehold position, neither the Grappler nor their victim can act in the fight, but each round the victim will have a chance to break free. If they fail, and enough rounds pass with the chokehold in place, the victim will drop to 0 hitpoints and fall unconscious. Grapplers are very devastating opponents, second only to monks in their hand-to-hand skills, which of course would make monk grapplers the deadliest of them all.

The Healer subclass is a subclass that will add much in the way of healing abilities to your character. Those who choose to be healers will find themselves able to heal a wide variety of injuries and ailments. Healers gain Herbalism, mostly for the ability to make poultices, and the apply skill for applying poultices when needed. They also gain several healing spells, including cure blindness, cure poison, and cure disease. They also gain the more powerful heal light and heal serious spells for healing injuries of their patients, as well as a refresh spell for restoring the stamina of those too tired to go on by themselves. If your group of adventurers cannot find a full cleric to go along for healing purposes, then a Healer makes a very good replacement.

Upon becoming a linguist, all of your currently known languages will be raised to maximum skill levels, making you perfectly fluent in all of them. In addition, there is no language cap for linguists, they may learn as many languages as there are in the world, and upon learning them at a trainer, they gain instant fluency in them as well.

The Naturalist subclass is for druids who have come to believe that nature is the only answer to all things. They believe whole-heartedly in nature's ability to overcome any obstacle or situation, any hardship. Their main focus tends to be of a more healing nature, as they've learned that a primary similarity to all hardships is often injury, and that if one could simply overcome injuries and carry on, that strength and nature will ultimately always prevail. They are also the ones who most often label things as unnatural, often using the word in a negative light, even adhering it to things that others do not. Other magics for example, arcane and divine magics that are not natural in nature are often seen by them as unnatural and distasteful things, and they are able to do away with such enchantments if they so choose.

They tend to require a lot of protection, however, they more than make up for their vulnerability with the benefits their rituals bring to their party.

Rune magic allows a character to unlock the power contained within magical symbols and sigils. Not every such mark has the potential for power, however.

A scout navigates the terrain with an innate blend of agility and stealth. The scout moves silently through the underbrush, their keen eyes scanning the landscape for both danger and opportunity. With keen eyes attuned to the slightest rustle of leaves and an ear finely tuned to distant sounds, a scout collects vital intelligence for their allies. Often, with an array of handcrafted tools and a trusty bow slung across their back, the scout embodies the essence of adaptability, relying on a deep bond with nature to guide their path through uncharted territories.

A shadow is someone who uses magic to imitate the powers of Shadows. It is said that Trellan taught people the magic and it proliferated. Unlike those of Vadoma who are granted the skills by their God, mages and others have learned the art of shadows to mimic them. Shadow magic can trap people in the shadow realm and needs a steady and precise hand. It is said that darklings are made from those who tested the shadow art and lost themselves in the Shadow Realm.

The Spellslinger subclass is for those characters that have perhaps some innate magical ability, but chose another non-magical class for their main profession, and are now dabbling with the underlying magical abilities they possess. The Spellslinger subclass gains access to over a dozen useful magical spells to both enhance themselves and others, and to do some devastating damage to their enemies. While spellslingers are not considered to be proper spell casters by most people, their abilities can allow them to appear to be so, and also provide them the added bonus of being much more devastating in combat situations.

The Spirits of Nature are what was used to create and maintain the realm. What some call the weave is actually the way a thin line connects every spirit of nature to Nature herself, each being a part of her that she has sent out and into the realm. There are several kinds of spirits, though each is as important as the next. For Spiritualists, it is their Guardian spirits that might choose to aid them.

A Templar is cleric subclass that is akin to a warrior priest dedicated to a righteous wrath and divine retribution. Often driven by a burning sense of justice, templars wield offensive divine power to turn their enemies away from them in fear and to call upon the will of their deity to quickly end a fight. In times of need, they can purify corrupted areas, unleashing a divine aura that cleanses evil and banishes darkness, reaffirming their unwavering commitment to justice and vengeance.

They are known to cause dread and fear in all who oppose them.

Zhiba are monks devoted to peace and quieting violence. They gain the calm and sleep spells, and aggressive NPCs will not automatically attack a Zhiba through the normal aggression pulse. This protection does not stop a Zhiba from being attacked by scripted behavior, direct commands, or combat they start or join.
