The Guild saved the world in the final season, and nobody even knows that they did it. The threat of the creatures beneath the seal was massive, but quiet. The only people who knew of the danger (as far as we know anyway) are the group themselves, the friends who fought with them at Necropolys on Sea, Liliana and Binbag

You would expect world-saving acts to be remembered, but with nobody knowing that anything was ever amiss, the story would probably fade with those who were involved. If anything, despite their good intentions, the guild would probably be remembered more for the dozens of escapades that ended in them being chased out of towns

Imagine decades down the line, the guild trying to prove what they did to show the world that their actions mattered. Corazon and his Penny Dreadfuls wanting to be remembered for his good deeds rather than for being his Father's disappointment. Egbert writing his changed morals and expanded worldview as the basis of his religion. Prudence searing her face into the minds of others as she torches them. Dob writing songs about his adventurers in the hopes that somebody will remember them. All of them wanting their sacrifices to matter.

Merilwen outliving all of the guild, discovering out how temporary everything she worked for truly is but still spending her extra centuries telling the people she meets about the times she spent travelling the world with her best friends.

But despite her best efforts, the universe still forgets. Because there will always be bigger threats to the world, and more heroic folks to save it.

Or so she thinks.

Millenia in the future, when magic has left the world and ghosts have come flooding in, a man would make his wealth on a whaling ship that he named in honour of the stories of his childhood, the dread pirate De Ballena

One day, an artist would be hired to write the next big opera. They would adapt their favourite childhood lullably. The tale had been corrupted by time, but the sentiment remained - one of hope and misadventure, starring a high-voiced page and steel wheels.

In time, magic would be lost to the world, but some power remained if you knew where to look for it. It still lingered in the pages of old religious tomes, holding enough power to banish a banshee despite how ridiculous the deity itself would seem to those who hadn't met them

When the ghost apocolypse first swept through G'eth, academics would pour over ancient texts looking for answers, and common folk were willing to turn to any source of authority for answers and salvation. I'd be willing to bet a decent number of people found comfort in the idea of being eaten last

Perhaps not as heroes but not quite as villains, perhaps not as themselves, but the guild leave a lasting impact in G'eth

#Blades being set in the same world as the guild is my favourite thing ever and it makes me emotional #Trying to bash out the details of a headcannon for how the ghost apocolypse was caused by a second tear in the seal #I also have so /so/ many feelings about Merilwen as an elf #and how that'll mean she'll probably outlive the rest of the guild by a considerable margin #but that's a whole separate post #Just post-campaign oxventure in general is having a momemt(tm) in my head at the minute #100% just because of where I'm up to in what I'm writing (which I'll hopefully be able to start posting soon!)#It's just something about how they saved the world from these terrible creatures that lived beneath the disk that hardly anyone knew about #Is that what they will be remembered for? Would they even be believed?#Or would it be the abject chaos and unfortunate destruction that they caused that gets remembered #I don't have an answer for that one - I'm just enjoying yapping #One more thing - how the guild members would feel about this:#Corazon: More than happy to be remembered for the chaos. Actively writes about his adventures and bigs them up so that his image can be the #one he wrote for himself rather than the one his father chose for him and was disappointed he didn't fulfil #Dob: Terrified of being forgotten and alone like he was when Suzette left to find help when he was younger. Writes songs about his adventur #Egbert: More altruistic than the other boys. Wants to be remembered for something other than the bombing incident and I think #that when he grows up (he's a baby during the campaign) would grow his faith as a safe space for the lonely frightened kids like he once wa #Merilwen: By virtue of her age would try and keep the memories of her freinds alive as long as she could. Probably terrified of forgetting #them herself. That kind of history becomes important to you as you climb the centuries #Prudence: She wants power and damnit she will get it. No greater delight than people remembering her with fear in their eyes which for sure #isn't a reflection of her needing to prove herself and stick it to her bio parents who abandoned her at birth #(... why I talk this much in the tags and not just add to the main post I honestly don't know)#oxventure #oxventurers guild #oxventure bitd #oxventure blades in the dark #corazon de ballena #dob the half orc bard #merilwen #merilwen oxventure

ox bitd was absolutely amazing, honed in on my favorite part of any oxventure with planning in it (scheming and being in cahoots, general tomfoolery, absolutely incredible explanations and improvisation)

#oxventure bitd #and also great dming #watching luke become more and more skilled was amazing #especially the increase in the number of recurring npcs
