Wayfarers League
Alignment: Any
This interesting organization is devoted to travel, for the sake of travel. They aren't interested in the lore and legends of the land, they are merely interested in seeing as much of the land as they possibly can before they die. If you seek a scout or guide, then you should find the local League, you can find no better guide than a member of this group.
They know, for instance, the last known location of nomadic groups in northern Rumeria, the best way to cross the Oozing Brook, and even where to find the elusive elven city-kingdoms in Kir'viir. Because it's members are rarely in one place for long, there is little formal organization and no central leadership but every city of a decent size has a league station where members file travel reports, submit maps or peruse the maps for future journeys, and share drinks and tales of their travels.
Each League member must help run a station for one month out of every year. The most senior member of that station's staff is the Station Head. Travel reports filed by the members include things such as hazards, encounters they had, weather conditions and anything else that would be useful. Each member carves two small notches in their boot heels which leaves a distinctive track.
To join the League, the prospective member must present a Station Head with two gifts, all originating from at least 200 miles away. One must be a case or box of alcoholic drinks of some sort worth at least 200 gold pieces. If the gifts meet the requirement, their boot notches are carved and celebration ensues. Dues are paid each year of 300 gold pieces, paid at the time of their monthly service to the station where they will work.
