The Guild Hall had been decorated for the occasion of the first proper meeting of the Loreseekers, with Remi’s flameless crystals providing light from the fluorescent liquid in their hearts and a few faded fabric streamers strung from the great mirrored chandelier. Small plates of snacks had been set out along the long central table, which had been cleaned of books and papers for the occasion, though a number of other curious objects had been set there instead, and scattered about the hall on shelves and in corners. Four small tables had been set around the main room at the cardinal points, and an empty dish placed in the center of the great table, though its purpose was unclear.
The Provost himself sat at the head of the table, Isuma perched on top of a box beside him, happily reeping greetings at new arrivals as people filtered in. Jigano smiled welcome to each, waving them to get food and drink – tea, cider, and beer were all available - and find a seat to make small talk until the next person arrived. When all who could make it had gathered he finally stood, raising his own glass to toast them all.
”Loreseekers, friends, it is my honor and pleasure to welcome you all to the Guild Hall to meet your fellows formally, and get to know each other. It is my hope that we will all feel able to call upon each other in times of need, and that we will help each other as our specialties and individual strengths permit. Tonight, though, is about celebration, getting to know each other… and a bit of fun, I hope!” His grin was a touch wicked, blue eyes sparkling as he swept them over his colleagues. ”I’ve come across an item that would be especially useful for our field agents, but in order to decide who should receive it I thought we could play a few games to test your abilities as quick-thinkers and puzzle-solvers. For now, though, let’s start with introductions, shall we? As you all know, my name is Jigano Silversmith, and I helped to found this guild along with Amalia, Samuel, and Isla.” He nodded gratefully to those who were present before continuing.
”I was a bard and oracle of Numeria before I came here, and while I am still those things I am also a Loreseeker of Caido now. This little one,” he gestured fondly to Isuma, the cat-sized gryphlet an elegant mix of snowy owl and snow leopard as she sat happily on her box and wriggled with the desire to bounce around the table and offer her greetings to each of her friends. ”Is Isuma, my companion.” He tilted his head with a wry smile that his friends would recognized as he inclined his head. ”My specialties are research, exploration, music, and mythology... and anything else I can wrap my mind around," he admitted with a grin. "Who will go next?"
