The Guild has a long, albeit interrupted, history. Wherever there
is danger and combat there will always be those who seek fame and
glory by pitting themselves against seemingly unbeatable odds. Seen
as perhaps unbalanced by some, these adventurers have naturally
gravitated to the Walkers On The Edge. At some times the guild has
been large and vibrant, at others it has been quiescent, with its
only surviving members too infirm to seek combat. With the recent
influx of new adventurers and fresh places being discovered where
danger and excitement may be found the guild is once again becoming
active.
The earliest tales of the Walkers are myths from the Time Of
Thunder. A ferocious band of warriors fought demons in the first
days, during the battle their standard fell and was only recovered
by a near suicidal charge, it returned stained red by the blood of
the warriors. Fragmentary tales of this band, who became known as
the Red Walkers, tell of later fights against the demons and the
last mention of the Red Walkers is a story that the Red Walkers
attacked a large force of demons pursuing fleeing civilians. What
happened to the Red Walkers was not reported by those few civilians
who survived but as there were no further reports of the band they,
and their standard, must have been lost.
After the Time of Thunder a few of the Red Walkers who been
convalescing when the main band was destroyed, along with relatives
and new recruits reformed to seek the lost standard, they took to
wearing red armbands as a symbol of their loss and travelled the
monster haunted wildernesses to fulfil their quest. Over the years
that followed they became known as the Walkers At the Edge Of The
Kingdom. When the Adventurer’s Charter was created, the group formed
The Walkers On The Edge as an Adventurer’s Guild.
The records of the activities of the guild are recorded in the
Guild Annal’s, these were lost a decade ago when the last few active
members of the Guild were travelling to Crownheart. As no witnesses
survived to tell what occurred there is no information on the events
which led to the death of the last Guild Leader, Driel Morragev, and
his fellow Walkers. In the intervening years the Walkers On The Edge
existed only as a name but Geddon, a cousin of Driel Morragev, has
come of age and now spreads the word that the Walker’s will once
again seek glory.
Since the reformation of the guild, Walkers have been present at
almost very major battle to influence the future of Bereny. They
helped in the fight against Drax and then Jennatta. They fought
against the Reaper. They liberated the Shadowrift and the Edge
Citadel, the ancestral home of the Walkers. |
