The Adventurer Guild Headquarters in Kingsford had become so busy that Sage Alistair sometimes wondered whether the building possessed a peculiar ability to attract trouble.
Every morning brought new reports, additional requests for funding, complaints from merchants, and applications from Warriors seeking to register as Adventurers. Even the various departments that had been established to reduce his workload seemed determined to discover new reasons to send documents to his office.
Fortunately, not every report contained another problem demanding his immediate attention.
That morning, Boren arrived carrying a leather-bound folder bearing the familiar insignia of the Adventurer Guild's original Headquarters in Evergreen.
Sage immediately set aside the financial statement he had been examining.
"Evergreen?" he asked, reaching for the folder before Boren had even placed it upon the desk.
