An adventurer guild-like organization that has the highest number of Swordsmen under its banner within the whole continent, and had an affiliation with every other major guild within the Empire, that was the world's current mercenary company behemoth known as the Gigant Sword Association!
The association, however, didn't start that big. Originally, they were just an information guild that had various trades with the ruling class, but their destiny to rise was only fulfilled at the start of the Sword Epoch.
At the time where the power of the supernatural triumphed over all, the hidden information guild made use of their large information network to secure all kinds of mystical items. Whether it was mutated ore mines, Sword Breath boosters, or even ascended swords, amid the chaos that enveloped the world, almost all products of the phenomena that started everything fell into the hands of this specific information guild!
'Indeed, knowledge is power.'
