Lorva’s Hunters

One of the few Certified Guilds to be formed after the time that the Absit Settlers landed in Esor and built up the New Esorian kingdom. Lorva's Hunters started when a group of religious knights who started a church dedicated to Saint Lorva decided that they would help protect the town they lived in, Floatum. Unlike The Black Watch, who supplied a similar service, the knights of Lorva's Hunters wanted to help people without charging them gold. This virtuous nature attracted many would-be heroes or noblemen who wanted to be associated with a group like that and with some came enough funding to build up the church and spread their services further to some surrounding small villages. After Floatum started to explode in population because of the canal project, people turned to Lorva's Hunters to aid in law enforcement. They grew quickly, still relying only on wealthy patrons for funding, until the King noticed them, offering to make them a Certified Guild and they graciously accepted. Now that they were certified, they received contracts from both the government, for law enforcement and criminal jailing, and from other guilds for guard duty. These contracts let the guild start to make some actual money and let them continue their mission statement of providing free protective services against evil for regular citizens. Although the guild formed from a church, the church is now the guild hall in fact, they never required anyone to worship Saint Lorva in order to join. In fact, other than the name and guild hall location, the guild has little to nothing to do with Saint Lorva anymore.
