The Adventurers Guild is a secretive and immensely powerful organization composed of individuals who operate beyond the reach of ordinary mortal society. They inhabit a custom demiplane, stitched together from smaller pocket dimensions using high-level magic (including 9th-level spells and multiple conjoined 8th-level spells). Their true motives are unknown, but they function as puppet masters, employing adventurers as disposable agents in a hidden conflict that spans time and reality. The Guild maintains near-unlimited financial resources, allowing them to fund operations across multiple planes and timelines.
