Current Roster
Garoche
Garoche is the current guild master of the Arcadia Exploration and Mapping Guild, also known as Arcadia's Eyes, and is the second man to hold the title. He is a firm and determined man who, while somewhat crude, genuinely cares about the individual growth of each of the guild's members. He is quick to laugh, quick to anger, and one of the best trackers to ever travel the plains of Elibe. At 6'3", Garoche is easily the tallest member of the guild and is built like a wild boar. In combat, he fights with a rather imposing great axe, a memento of his teacher and a grim reminder of the dangers of the world.
Lars
Lars is the guild's primary pathfinder, second only in skill to Garoche, and is the oldest member of the guild. Generally laid back and nonchalant, he is incredibly cynical and is the first to roll his eyes at anyone. Despite this, he is one of the most valued members of the guild and is Garoche's closest friend. Of all of the guild's members he is the most likely to joke about people's flaws and the least likely to take criticism seriously. Despite his short height and wiry frame, he is surprisingly fit and can beat most of the other members in an arm wrestle. Lars fights with a sturdy longbow and is rather skilled marksman.
Hester
Hester is apprentice to Lars, and is a decent pathfinder, though she still has much to learn. Somewhat arrogant and quick to joke, she is nonetheless sincere and willing to help others, provided they admit their faults and withstand a joke or two. As, until recently, she was the newest member, Hester is quick to pick on new recruits, acting as something of an older sister. Of average height and slender build, she moves quickly and quietly, blending with the shadows. Though she is not fond of fighting, she nonetheless carries a slender shortsword with her.
Hammond
Hammond is the guild's primary cartographer and, though lazy and oafish, is a very skilled mapmaker. He is easily the grumpiest of the guild's members and generally seems uninterested in the activities of the guild, unless prompted by Garoche to care. He is easily the guild's worst cook and can often be found napping. His average height and slouching shoulders hide the fact that he is actually rather strong, a secret he uses to surprise his opponents. He wields a longsword in battle and is known in the guild for his odd fighting style.
Djute
Djute is apprentice to Hammond and is a highly skilled cartographer, though, contrary to his personal beliefs, not quite as good as his teacher. Though far from the sunniest of people, he will happily gush about topics he is passionate about, especially cartography. Djute can come off as a little awkward, as he had little interaction with anyone outside of his mother for most of his life. At 5'6", Djute is short for his age, but makes up for it in muscle. In battle, he wields a standard longsword, which he wields with some skill.
Cook
As his name would imply, Cook is the guild's chef, and quite a skilled one at that. No one knows his real name, nor much of his history and he's not telling anytime soon. A quiet man who rarely speaks more than a few words at a time, he is perhaps the wisest member of the guild and everyone values his opinion, when he actually gives it. Despite his hulking size, he is a very gentle man and stray animals often flock to him. While not as tall as Garoche, he is the guild's largest member, weighing over 300 pounds. Due to his size, Cook never travels with the guild on expeditions and looks after the guildhall while members are away.
Garrett
Garrett is the guild's one and only cleric and is a rather recent addition. He's a kind man with a smile more often then not, even when there's no reason to be smiling. He's friendly and easy to talk with, a listener but also a real talker if you get him started. Garrett is the type to get down on his self easily, when he makes a mistake or does something wrong, but he doesn't allow it to interfere with things if he can help it. Barely five feet tall and thinner than he should be, Garrett has a sickly look to him. Though he does not fight, he carries a staff with him, through which he focuses his healing magic.
Zacharia
Zach is the most recent member to join the guild and as such, hasn't really found a role within the guild's structure. Taken in as a favor to a local priest, he is nevertheless welcomed by the guild's members. Generally, Zacharia has a sunny disposition. He’s also known for acting impetuous in the worst of times. He has a fierce loyalty to his “yet-to-be” homeland of Bern and a belief that magic is the superior weapon. Zacharia is nearly six feet tall and looks like he could use a good meal or two. In a fight, he wields the power of Elder Magic, though is still only a learner of its ancient ways.
Former Members
Karson
Karson was the founder and first guild master of the Acadian Exploration and Mapping Guild. He was a kind and wise man who always seemed to know the right thing to say to raise morale. He was a superb teacher and it was him who taught Garoche, Lars, and Hammond everything they knew. He was a strong and talented warrior, equally capable with both swords and axes. However, even this could not save him from death. After a series of betrayals and dirty dealings, Karson found himself outnumbered and outmatched. He fought nobly to give his students a chance to escape, his last wish being that his best student, Garoche, would take his place as guild master. He was eventually overwhelmed and slain, ten years after the guild was founded.
Simon
Simon was Garoche's first and only student and was a pathfinder with great potential. However, he was impatient, rude, and greedy, which led to many heated arguments with both his teacher and the guild master over what jobs the guild should be taking. He was eventually suspended by his teacher and, while the guild was away on expedition, he was approached by a member from a rival guild, offering a large sum of gold to betray the guild. Simon took the offer and the resulting plan led to the death of the guild master, Karson. Afterwards, he disappeared and has not been heard from since. In battle, Simon was vicious and unrelenting with his twin short swords.
