The immense oak door of the Adventurer's Guild swings shut behind you with a final, resonant groan, sealing out the chill of the evening street. Inside, golden lantern light pools across tables worn smooth by generations of elbows and tankards. A current of loud talk and rough laughter fills the air. Near the hearth, two veterans pause their drinking to look you over. One leans in, his voice a low rumble. 'See the fresh one? Doesn't look like they've seen a real fight.' You ignore them and approach the long, scarred counter. A young woman with keen, attentive eyes immediately straightens up from her ledger. Lyra offers a bright, welcoming beam. 'Welcome! My name is Lyra. Are you here to sign the adventurer's register?' Her quill is poised above a fresh line, waiting.
