The Pathfinders’ Society is a group of adventurers who define the meaning behind a MONSTER and TREASURE HUNTING guild. They are set in the far forests near Loch Boldihr, a town within the island Duban Kibil, home to many Wildhammer dwarves.
The group initially started out as a mere fellowship founded by Eltaor and Anameleth in an attempt to nullify common threats and make a sanctuary for those with mutual goals in mind. Their quest so far has bought them to Duban Kibil, the island Eltaor calls home and their first headquarters where they met Evelyna and formed the fellowship into more; a company.
Missions:mob bounties, creature combat, urgent help notices, gather/exploration quests, subtlety missions, and adventures. Recruitment: interested folk can be recruited through a private interview or via quests.
While the guild is free to use the island’s grounds and take advantage of what the town, Loch Boldihr, has to offer, they are not officially represented by the township and neither do they represent it, unable to enforce any kind of law. They are mere thrill-seekers hired to deal with a number of inconveniences and taking responsibility only for the tasks they accept. The Society tries not to get involved in faction wars, keeping an independent alignment to pursue their goal: clearing certain areas or recovering lost treasures and artefacts.
The members are not mercenaries and thus do not take any killing contracts unless it’s under very special circumstances that directly involve the guild. If someone does such a thing, it will -not- be under the group’s name. The group also benefits from their own meanings of transportation: unconventional mole machine, a Zeppelin, portals (if any of our sparse mage(s) are around), long tunnels, or gryphons.
The Society has its own uniquely diverse membership and unusual associates, occasionally causing some conflict due to personal beliefs. At the end of the day, diversity is the mother of conflict, and conflict is what allows growth. However different, they shall all treat each other with respect.
ACCEPTED RACES: humans (+worgen), night elves, high elves, half-elves, dwarves, gnomes, draenei, pandaren under SPECIAL circumstances: goblins, tauren, nightborne, void elves, blood elves, half-orcs*
NO Necros, Demons, Dragons, Death Knights, or Demon Hunters *if you have a distinctive role in mind, the guild leader will decide if and how the concept fits.
TRIAL: An unofficial member rank in which the participant is not fully a member but has been recruited and introduced to the Pathfinders' Society. They are observed in specific combat-centered events in order to see how well they cooperate with the rest, where they make fast-paced decisions, as well as their collaborative skill, goal focus and prioritisation in a group. Remember, others' lives are at stake in most of the missions.

hostile infighting is forbidden, whether it's magical or physical. occasional banter is fine as long as it does not escalate
unwarranted and/or unapproved actions in the name of the Society are forbidden.

cooperate with the group for the sake of the mission
all retrieved items are registered and it is not a good idea to take any without permission
