The following morning, the meeting room on the upper floor of the Adventurer Guild Headquarters was considerably more crowded than usual.
An enormous map of Westmark occupied the center of the conference table, surrounded by administrative reports, financial records, and several documents detailing the Guild's existing operations. Fifteen regions had been outlined across the map, with Kingsford and Evergreen marked as the organization's two principal centers of administration.
Sage sat at the head of the table, examining the assembled participants with a satisfied expression.
Boren and Lyana occupied neighboring seats, already comparing documents, while Tobias had brought several maps illustrating the Kingdom's major roads and commercial routes. Irene sat beside him with a thick ledger, and Garran Holt had prepared a collection of reports concerning mission administration.
Gregor, Valeria, and Vanthrice completed the gathering.
