The Adventurers' Guild is an organization that units adventurers, provides them with assignments, and acts as an intermediary between clients and those carrying out the work. Its members are known as adventurers.
Structure. The Guild may maintain branches in various cities, with operations coordinated through a management system (eg, branch managers who are seasoned veterans or resourceful adventurers). The organization may employ instructors, appraisers, accountants, healers, cooks, servers, and other specialists.
Assignments. The range of services varies widely—from minor tasks (gathering herbs, pest control) to participation in local conflicts, expeditions to dangerous locations, monster extermination, or treasure hunting. Occasionally, the Guild itself acts as the client—for instance, to commission research.
Ranks. Adventurers may hold ranks reflecting their combat prowess, service to the Guild, and contribution to its prosperity. Advancement occurs after completing a set number of assignments, passing trials, and submitting useful reports. Guild ranks include S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, with S representing the strongest and G the novices.
Guild Functions: acting as an intermediary between clients and adventurers; enforcing contractual agreements; guaranteeing the fulfillment of payment obligations; collecting and distributing assignments; purchasing raw materials obtained by adventurers; and currency exchange.
Rules. Specific charters and regulations may apply depending on the setting—such as prohibitions against violence within the branch premises, requirements to obey local laws, and the obligation to follow orders during emergencies.
Additional Features. In some cases, the guild may trade in discovered artifacts, hold auctions, or provide equipment and training for adventurers.

It is a guild where people accept illicit contracts for murder, incitement to suicide, robbery, kidnapping, humiliation, and the like. Typically, only criminals work there.

Advantages of a merchants' guild:
Mutual protection. In a fantasy world, merchants often face bandits, pirates, and highwaymen; banding together allows them to hire guards and establish security systems.

Divisions. Internal departments may handle security, government relations, market expansion, and specialized goods (such as magical artifacts, rare animals, or exotic resources).
Transnational nature. It units merchants from different countries and operates across national borders.
Magical focus. It may control the trade of magical artifacts, potions, and rare magical ingredients.

Internal regulations. A code of conduct and reporting requirements (tracking purchases, sales, and prices), as well as rules regarding defective goods.
Membership. Not all merchants join; an entry fee is often required, but members receive privileges in return.
Hierarchy. Usually led by a Master (or Guildmaster), with a council of elders or regional representatives.

Trading without a license from the Merchants' Guild can result in the confiscation of property, arrest, and a massive fine that must be paid off through forced labor—or you could even be sold into slavery.

Hunting without a license from the Adventurers' Guild carries no penalties, but you will not be able to claim a reward for any quests.
