The Fraternal Order of Dungeoneers, Dangerseekers, Explorers, and Rogues is a prestigious adventurers guild based in the city of Xraxus. Known only as the Order by its members, this guild is a combination of mercenary guild, social club, and information repository.

Brief History

The Order was founded in 1386 by Lord Gareth Van Nostram. Van Nostram was a wealthy socialite who enjoyed delving into the corridors of the Xrax. He was a successful dungeoneer and brought many artifacts to the surface. Since Gareth was traveling the subterranean depths for thrills and he was already wealthy, he built Grenholm Place as a guildhall where people of like mind could gather, share stories, and display historical artifacts. The Order has become a powerful presence in Xraxus and its members are an often tapped resource for the defense of the city.
