Maea
give me shelter, or show me heart
There was a quiet hum, a thoughtful acknowledgement of the reservations Chaele made. Even so, what they described was different from how Maea had come to view the search.
"I used to be a part of a guild, called the Loreseekers," she told the other. "We were based in the Hollowed Ground, and for a long time its purpose was to seek a way to escape the barrier that locked us all inside. After, it grew into a quest of exploring and understanding the mysteries of the world beyond. I am afraid that curiosity and a hunger for knowledge often drove us to go where we were not always wanted."
A soft shudder passed through her, as memories returned of more unsavory adventures. "There was never much patience for giving up civilization, or to do as you seem to, and immerse yourself with a place in order to understand it."
A few final knots was tied and the lantern was complete. Maea held it up, examining the details closely to see if she was content with the result. "Still. Even though it wasn't perfect, the guild did good things, too. Educating others, offering a place for scholars and the curious to gather. There were a lot of adventurers too, who joined for a chance to see new places. I've... been thinking it might not be all bad to revive such a guild."
