As Sylvanna and I entered the bustling Aurelion City Adventurer's Guild, we were met with an unusual level of excitement and tension. Adventurers of all ranks were gathered in clusters, their faces lit with a mixture of eagerness and apprehension. The normally subdued murmur of conversation was replaced by animated discussions, punctuated by the occasional exclamation.
We approached the registration counter, where the guild clerk greeted us with a nod. "Back from Lord Vardon's territory?" she asked, her eyes reflecting a hint of respect. "How did it go?"
"It went well," I replied, handing over the report. "We managed to neutralize the immediate threat, but there are significant governance issues that need to be addressed. The details are all in here."
