“Can you see it? Up ahead… This is the Ouroboros.”

On 21nd, Alturiak 1495 DR, the reconstruction of the Ouroboros guild was finished.
1,510 Downtime Days | 28 Real Days to Rebuild | 18 Adventurers Participated

 With a new and improved guild hall, operations have continued. Instead of being located outside Baldur’s Gate, the new guild hall now resides in the small fishing village of Lathtarl’s Lantern, located on the Sword Coast at the mouth of the Winding Water.

• • The original Ouroboros guild was active 1st Flamerule, 1492 till its descent and destruction due to the Red Queen’s forces.
  • With the complete destruction of the guild, operations moved to a safer location, away from the hostile nature in Baldur’s Gate 1494 DR.

Despite having moved, the guild functions as normally. With the assistance of the World Hero, Tori, Archmage of Ouroboros, the guild has been warded by spells casted from wish to avoid future destruction from another attack. Read below to see features and adjusted wards that were placed. These custom wards cannot be removed, bypassed or changed.

• • 8 helmed horrors in the guild to server as protectors, auto-restraining anyone who dares to either perform a hostile action on another creature or attempt to use a charm or fear effect. Creatures restrained by them, are thrown into the designated chat, until their punishment ends.
  • A teleportation circle has been placed outside the guild. Using methods of teleportation, such as plane shift, direct the user to the circle. See more information under “Courtyard” in Guild Features below.
  • Mounts and pets are not permitted to enter the guild hall. These are to remain outside or in the character’s home. A single mount may be stored inside the guild badge.

The Ouroboros staff would love to recognize the following members for their assistance and hard work in rebuilding of the guild hall, completing the project in under a month!

• • Honorary Mentions: Armstrong, Brok, Calcium, Cinnamon, Constructor, Ducket, Frovumm, Iranis, Ingo, Peebo, Phena, Pifflix, Raul, P. Rev, Tarvi, Thalia, Tori, and Ymirra.

Inside the Guild

Oak wood floors with green and silver embroidered rugs lay the foundation for the welcome room. Through the main doors, a booming hall of laughter and chatter of lively atmosphere greets those who enter. Banners of similar colors hang suspended from the ceiling, bearing the Ouroboros sigil. A cast of new guild staff has joined the guild, after a few adventurers managed to convince them to join the guilds operations.

• • A dedicated bar sits to the right of the room, while the guild leader’s office is directly across. In the center, various round and circular tables with plenty seats nestled under the tabletop.
  • In the back are two boards, one for communication to other members: the message board. The other, a job board for jobs needing to be done, seeking adventurers to assist.

The guild houses a special artifact created by Tori, that allows the bookkeeper (formerly guild leaders assistant), to inscribe a creature’s name into it to evoke a permanent ban. The contents of the book are not known to many. A soul coin is needed for the name to be inscribed. The item is located inside the guildhall and cannot be removed from the place of where the item has been set to. Special conditions have been placed on the item to avoid abuse of power.
