The first true light of day spills across the city's clamorous heart. Market cries and the rumble of wagons fill the air. Before you, the Adventurer's Guild rises, stone and pride. You lean into the weight of the great door until it swings open. Inside, the scent of hearth-smoke and old leather hangs thick. Veterans pause their conversations to look you over. A monumental board, pinned with countless notices, commands the far wall. A woman with a gentle demeanor waits behind a polished counter, her smile genuine. "Welcome to the Emberfall Guild. I am Aeliana. Are you here to begin your path?" (You explain you wish to register, and she guides you through determining your foundational strengths, any magical affinity, your resilience, or the adventuring role that calls to you.)
