Lumiadare

Lumiadare is a diverse guild currently based in the town of Terraven. It was first formed by Tempo Lepaun, an ex-mercenary, and its first members included Tarquin R. Stone, Marise Bisetsu and Teneora Weissman. It's leadership was eventually handed over to Lorelei Shone upon Tempo's disappearance, and then to her brother Lucas Shone, where under his brief leadership the guild was temporarily disbanded. It would soon be revived under the leadership of Lorelei again, after the events on Taem Island.

Location & Buildings
In the early days, Lumiadare was based in the Empire of Thurri. The guild rented a shoddy, rundown bar as their base of operations, accepting simple and easy requests to get by the days. Eventually, they were granted an official building to use as a guild hall, and the bar was sold.

The guild hall was a large, imposing three-storey building named the Lumi Bar. The building was equipped to sustain the guild's daily needs - income, requests and a place to call home. Although the grounds of the hall was often vandalized by strangers, law and order is generally quite well-maintained inside (thanks to the violent tendencies of their bartender).

Eventually, a second base was established in the town of Kimyona in the form of the Lumiadare Cafe. Although smaller in size, the Cafe helped the guild earn a great deal of income thanks to its popularity. It too was subject to a great deal of attempts of vandalism by the chaotic citizens of Kimyona, but the members on shift there were always quick to suppress any troublemakers - usually by force.

Following the disbanding of the guild, both the Lumi Bar and Lumiadare Cafe were sold back to their respective landlords. When the guild resurfaced after the events on Taem Island, they used all the capital they could muster to purchase a new guild building in the middle of a forest in the town of Terraven. The new Terraven Guild Hall is currently the guild's only active building.

Before the Beginning
The idea for the guild originally came from the dream of Tempo Lepaun's adopted sister, who wanted to create a guild to help others in need. However, her wish fell short when she was diagnosed with cancer, and had to be hospitalized. In her final moments, she gave Tempo a name for her dream guild - Lumiadare, before passing on. With her dying wish in heart, Tempo eventually departed for Thurri, aiming to fulfill the dream her sister had wished for.

Early Days
Arriving in Thurri, Tempo recruits the help of Marise Bisetsu, a homeless woman, and Teneora Weissman, a booker from the Magistrate; and together they form Lumiadare. The three-man guild originally operated from a rented rundown pub, as they had little money to procure a better location.

Work was limited in scope and scale at first, and recruitment was performed through talks over a few drinks at the bar. One of the first members they manage to get with this type of over-the-counter propaganda was Tarquin R. Stone, an ex-colonial military officer. The senior members decide to send him out to find new members, as both a means of recruitment and also to test his competence.

Eventually, the Empress of Thurri granted them a building to use as a guild hall, and it replaced the pub as their official base of operations. It was around this time that Tarquin returned with several new recruits, most notably Demetrius, Leia and Nico. For his accomplishments, he was accepted into the senior ranks of the guild.

Disbanding
With the loss of Tempo in the Dark Rebirth incident, leadership of the guild was transferred to Lorelei Shone, Tempo's second-in-command at the time. Unfortunately, her tenure was short, and following her resignation, her brother Lucas Shone instead assumed the role of guild leader. However, much like his sister, he wasn't around for long, and after some time vanished without a trace.

With the disappearance of their guild leader and no one stepping up to take the reins, the members all went their own ways, greatly reducing the guild's strength and ultimately resulting in an unofficial disbandment. With no one to pay for rent, both the bar in Thurri and cafe in Kimyona were returned to their respective governments.

Taem Island incident
Some time after the guild disbanded, Ziare was forcefully taken to the mysterious jungle island of Taem by Tayne, who detects the Artuka residing in Ziare and decides to knock him out, bringing him to the island. Ziare wakes up after the ship crashes on the shores of Taem [...]

Lumiadare Reborn
After gathering the limited funds they had, the group purchased a new guild building in the town of Terraven. Once they had settled into their new base of operations, guild activities began once more, with some new members joining the guild as well as some older faces returning after some time had passed.

Request from Enos
Princess Saryn Krovenhardt of the faraway kingdom of Enos arrives at the guild hall, seeking help from the guild to quell a rebellion in their land, as their people had grown tired of being constantly oppressed by their neighboring kingdom, Theina. The guild reluctantly accepts the request, travelling to Enos and subduing the rebellion, only for the princess to be kidnapped by Theinans when the job was complete. With the help of the rebels and Prince Argeo, they travel into Theinan territory, save the princess and, in the process, kill Kaiser Venious, the Emperor of Theina. With the job done, the team returned to Terraven.

Strength
Compared to other guilds (or more specifically, the guilds that participated in the Grand Magic Games alongside them), Lumiadare's members are less combat-oriented in general. As the guild accepts members based on their eagerness to help the community instead of putting too much weighting on their individual strengths, the combat prowess of members vary greatly.

The guild's true strength lies in the resourcefulness of its members, which shows in their 2nd place standing in the 2019 Grand Magic Games, despite starting out as the underdog guild. Through the quick wits and decision-making of each member, they're able to circumvent their weaknesses and overcome their challenges through their resourcefulness.

Members
Lumiadare's members hail from all across the globe, resulting in great diversity among its members, both in ethnicity and strengths. Ever since the resurgence of the guild after its disbanding, many members have left and have yet to return, resulting in a large amount of members being absent and missing.

This is a list of notable members of the guild:
