Who Are The Loremongers?

The Loremongers are a secret group of scholars and treasure hunters who's goal is that of the complete subjugation of the history of Geosyl, and all of it's secrets unfolded and laid bare. Be it via cunning intellect or brute force (or more often then not a heaping helping of both) The Loremongers seek to out and bind every myth, legend and artifact they can find from every deep, dark abyss of a hole they come across to the written page and, once compiled, spread that knowledge to any who need it.

While the cause may seem noble, be assured that the Loremongers are equal parts infamous as they are famous, and are made up of some of the most ruthless types imaginable, many of them going to extremes to get what they want. The Loremongers may fight monstrosities of incalculable shapes and sizes in their quest for new knowledge, but becoming in return monstrous is often the only solution to many dark and horrific situations. He who fights monsters and all that...

The Loremongers operate via an in-house barter system, hence the title. If one is stuck on a lead, a Loremonger will offer up and receive information, artifacts, and various services in exchange for knowledge that might further their quest. To a Loremonger, an ancient poem or unidentifiable hieroglyph  is worth its proverbial weight in gold. When all of the pieces of a legend are sussed out and codified, it is forever recorded in the Loremonger's vaulted library, transcribed in a very powerful artifact in the making: The Loremonger's Book of Many Things.
