Before the invasion, Arcane & Chicanery was an off-shoot from a mercantile company from the mainland, a business run by wizards and specialising in the production, distribution and selling of potions, scrolls and minor magic items. The guild in Obsidian was more of a club for the wizard members. During the invasion the masters of the guild were either slain by hobgoblin mage-hunters, or fled to the mainland, never to return. They left a few minor apprentices behind, who managed to hold the tower against the hobgoblins long enough for the mercenary company known only as Doom Company to rescue them. The guild is, officially, no longer operating, but the kobold sorcerer Nix, a member of Doom Company, has made it know that the guild now belongs to him. Exactly what the future holds for this small guild remains to be seen. The guild shop is still open, selling minor, low-level potions and scrolls made by the remaining wizards and what stock they managed to keep hold of. |
