ABOUT THE PILLAR
FROM THE PROVOST (PILLAR LEADER)
Greetings Esteemed Members, I trust this missive finds you in the best of spirits. Allow me, Nahele Myrunji, to illuminate the essence of our Pillar within the Gilded Haven — Gilded Ventures.
PILLAR FOCUS
Gilded Ventures stands as our bastion of World-Immersive Role-Playing within GH. We place profound emphasis on collective undertakings, delving into the intricacies of dungeons not in the sense of completing said dungeons but examining them from a in character approach, confronting formidable world adversaries, and embarking on extensive exploratory endeavors. If your heart resonates with the call of exploration, whether as a daring adventurer or a sagacious scholar chronicling the world's hidden treasures, this Pillar beckons to you.
ROLEPLAY EXPERIENCE
Gilded Ventures offers a realm where medium to heavy roleplay will be conducted in a World-Immersive Role-Playing approach. It caters to those who yearn to venture beyond the confines of a tavern or residence, immersing themselves wholly in the rich tapestry of our world. It should be noted that activities, such as our enthralling dungeon delves, are to be considered In-Character by default, unless otherwise indicated by the appointed party leader. All roleplayers, be they neophytes or seasoned thespians, are warmly welcomed and fervently encouraged to partake in this vibrant blend of narrative and adventure.
HOUSE EVENTS
Our endeavors often find synergy with House Kimura, serving as a nexus for cross-Pillar activities. Assigned duties may fall upon our members, be it the honorable representation of our house at formal affairs or the dutiful role of courier. Rest assured, membership in House Kimura does not preclude one's participation in other Pillars, and a harmonious confluence of affiliations is heartily encouraged.
May your journeys within Gilded Ventures be as rich and rewarding as the treasures you seek to unearth. We stand ready to embrace both newcomers and seasoned veterans into our ranks, forging an enduring fellowship bound by the spirit of exploration and camaraderie.
With utmost respect,
Nahele Myrunji
The Provost

HEIRARCHY
ALL MEMBERS START HERE
Each Explorer and Researcher rank serves as a reflection of an individual's growth within Gilded Ventures. Actual jobs within Gilded Ventures can be assigned for in-character purposes. For example, if someone prefers to be more of an Archivist, they can pursue that role in character. Alternatively, if someone sees themselves as more of an investigator, they can also choose to pursue that path. These in-character jobs are flexible and can be tailored to each Adventurer, Explorer, and Researcher's desires. The crucial aspect is ensuring that all our role-playing is cohesive, and the storyline makes sense.
