'A wicked cycle of cataclysmic destruction and rebirth...' in the words of the Ascendant Vecna on the Infinite Continuum.
Established within the prominent sultanate city of Shariz, the Emris Adventuring guild seeks exploration into the furthest reaches of Osira. Aiming to explore what was once lost to the sands of time, and uncover the mysteries surrounding Osiras clouded history, the guild has explored The Sarranid Desert and beyond... Founded by the eccentric Headmaster Altair Emris, the guild flourished with an influx of new adventuring talent from across The Sarranid Desert, establishing strong relations to the Sarranid Sultanate in the process. The guild itself is broken into three separate adventuring schools, being the School of The Phoenix, School of The Owl, and School of The Snake, with each tailoring to the specific strengths of the adventurers which reside within it. In order to join the guild, one must undertake the Trials of The Sun, a set of three challenging quests to prove ones mettle as an adventurer.
The Sunsations were a legendary band of adventurers hailing from the Emris Adventuring Guild, with untold exploits across the far reaches of the The Sarranid Desert, The Badlands, Burned Woods, The Shadowfell, and Feywild Jungles. Exploring under the late Headmaster Altair Emris' guidance, the group aided in defeating the risen Primarchs of The Sun, crumbled the The Ebony Tower, defeated the Crimson Hand with the aid of the Ascendant Vecna, and captured Primarch Prometheus, among many other heroic achievements. Although many different heroes would join the band over the course of time, the founding members were composed of Professor Henry Endsworth, Losk the Wanderer, Kairus the Brass, May Bellsprout, Talyen, and Josu. Other notable members included Urs Salbatic, Cendis Eclipse, Obadiah Clay, Saren, Guy the Grateful, Haellae Colaerth, Simmeon, Ramiel, Galahad Wargrym, Ralex, J-A-W, Garnic Hivroth, and Jean Moncrief.
Head of the local Sand Scribes chapter of The Scriptorium within the city of Shariz, Brother Sala was instrumental in founding the Solace Atheneum, a grand library of never-before-seen magnitude. Working directly with his brothers within The Scriptorium, Brother Sala has committed himself to meticulously transcribing the known history of the continent of Osira. Sala's devotion to knowledge was noted as fanatical even by the most devoted of the Sand Scribes who worked with him. It was Sala's vision to understand all there is to the world, which he coveted. Recording the thoughts, places, and people of Osira, Sala was instrumental in founding the Solace Atheneum, which he did with the aid of Emr1s. Unbeknownst to many of the Sand Scribes was that Brother Sala and a small group of order monks secretly sought the pursuit of the darkest forms of arcane knowledge - necromancy. This ill-fated pursuit would ultimately lead to his demise after attempting to bargain with the Demon lord, Balthazar the Blighted, who only used him to serve his own goals in collecting the Infernal Elements, which Sala possessed knowledge of. Once his usefulness ended, Sala was brutally butchered and left for dead in cursed Noble House Aefir where the demon lord took up temporary residence.
