They form the backbone of our societies and in game terms, they present the perfect foundation for backgrounds and adventure hooks. Their origins may be steeped in tradition or formed on the back of a couple of ales in a tavern. However they come about, these organisations give us purpose, a place to work, grow and belong and are therefore vital to a living fantasy setting. We were so amped about the responses we received to this prompt that it inspired a bit of a bumper episode. So while it may be a touch longer than our usual episodes, stick with it and we promise you won't be disappointed. Until next time, keep forging the world.
