Several weeks had passed since the Adventurer Guild began negotiating with additional regional administrations, and the results of those efforts were finally becoming visible.
Across Westmark, the Guild's presence was gradually extending beyond its established centers in Evergreen and Kingsford. Westhaven's Regional Headquarters continued operating successfully, while agreements concerning future facilities in Eastford and Rosenfeld had advanced sufficiently for construction preparations to begin.
Northgard remained under negotiation, although the Guild's recent missions along its dangerous frontier had already strengthened relations with the northern administration.
For Sage, the most encouraging development was not the number of agreements being signed, but the growing evidence that the Guild's services were becoming useful to communities far beyond the Royal Capital.
