Keith Guild

About
The Keith Guild is an adventuring guild operating in the Free Cities Alliance founded and led by Keith Gold. While its original location was in the Free City of Ice, it later moved to a larger building in CITY of the Copa Empire.

It is a well-renowned and high-profile guild that does business throughout The Continent ranging from jobs as minor as finding a villager's lost pet to as important as doing bodyguard work for royalty. It has several dozens of mercenaries under its employ, all of decent but varying ability that do work around the year.

Its most notable member is Rance, who was put under Keith's care after his previous caretaker, a former guild member herself, died. Rance is a highly unreliable employee who only ever takes on jobs when he is short on money, and even then only ones that give him a large reward for a comparatively small amount of work. Despite this, Keith knows Rance better than anyone else on the Continent, and has successfully motivated him into taking on incredibly difficult and high-paying jobs countless times by emphasizing that the person of note in them is a woman. While Keith is generally willing to cherry pick jobs with women involved in them for Rance, if there is difficult work that he believes only Rance can accomplish, he will simply lie that the client is a woman to incentivize him. Despite using this strategy countless times, Rance has yet to see through it and falls for it whenever Keith uses it.
