Adventurers Guild Charter

The Charter of the Dragon City and the Adventurer's Guild:

Corwyn Mauntea, the Most Holy Emperor and Emperor of Thyatis, to his Dukes, Counts, Barons, Lords, Patriarchs, Justices, Officers, and all loyal subjects, greetings. Know that I have granted, and by this charter confirm, to my citizens of the Dragon City for themselves and their heirs that they hold the Dragon City of me and my heirs for a farm of 8,000 denarius per annum and military service in times of war.

The governance of the Dragon City is hereby granted to the Guild of Adventurers, and all members of the guild shall be citizens of the Dragon City, and afforded all the concordant rights, privileges, and duties of such status. The guild may appoint as sheriff whomever they want from among themselves and as judge whomever they want from among themselves to take charge pleas of the crown and supervise their conduct; no one else shall be judge over the citizens of the Dragon City. The citizens of the Dragons City are afforded rights to any lost, hidden, or ancient treasures recovered from their exploits, are exempt from murder-fine, tax on real estate, war tax, and none of them need undertake trial by battle. If a plea to the crown is accused upon a citizen, the citizen may defend himself by adjudication within the city. Within the walls of the Dragon City no one need be billeted, neither my household nor anyone elses, nor is any billet to be undertake by force. 

All tolls and taxes within the Dragon City are confirmed to the Dragon City and alienated from me and my heirs for above mentioned farm of 8,000 denarius. All royal merchants and members of my household are exempt from any and all taxes and tolls of the Dragon City. All merchants and citizens of the Dragon City are half exempt from tolls and taxes throughout my realm.

Concerning lands for which citizens bring complaint before me, I shall uphold their rights according to the law of the city. If anyone exacts toll or customs from a citizen of the Dragon City, the citizens may in the city recover from members of the borough of town where the toll or customs were taken half the amount given by a citizen or merchant of the Dragon City for toll and any and all applicable damages. All debtors who own debts to citizens must repay them, or in the court of the Dragon City offer defense that they are not indebted.

By my hand and seal, Corwyn Mauntea, the Most Holy Emperor and Emperor of Thyatis, on this the 5th day of Kaldmont One Thousand years after the Conquest of the Ancient Empire. Given at the Great Temple of the Imperial City of Darokin.

Adventurer Guild Contract

This is the contract a PC agrees to before joining the Adventurer's guild:

I (Name) swear before the Dragon Council to serve the Guild of Adventurers and no other master for the period of time necessary to achieve the ninth level within the aforementioned guild. While in the service of the Guild of of Adventurers I will show friendship, benevolence and fidelity to all Dragons and make no unprovoked attack against such. In all cases where a dragon may appear hostile I will first attempt to persuade them to be obeisant to the Dragon Council before resorting to violence. As a Licensed Adventurer I will seek after remnants of ancient civilizations and lost treasures, protect the weak and defenseless from those who would usurp their rights and labors, treat all other Adventurers with trust and respect, remain faithful to the Church, and obey the laws and ordinances of the rulers of any country, principality, or city I may be in.
