Grayshields

The Grayshields were one of the largest and most inclusive of the adventuring guilds in Medeba. They were disbanded due to the growing concern that the Grayshields would invalidate the Order of the White Stag, the royal order of knights in Medeba who controlled many of the human lands as nobles. The Grayshields were revered for their exploits and daring feats of bravery, but now remain little more than fledgling dignitaries or have simply consigned themselves to a life of frivolity in retirement.

The Summons of the Grayshields brought many people of different cultures to the lands of Medeba in its heyday, when the kingdoms were still in close bonds with one another and inclusion was much more accepted. However, those who either didn't become Grayshields or were forced into retirement still remained long after the order was disbanded and the kingdoms in that time had gradually turned their backs on one another to focus inward on their native people, which often pushed out outsiders into the valleys of what was once known as Rohan.
