Neighbours

The Guild is not the only interdimensional group in the multiverse. Here is a brief overview of a few of the more prominent players across the Realms.

Arturo Combine
Specializing in the creation, release and subsequent hunting of custom-tailored creatures, the Arturo Combine is a relatively small but powerful faction who recruits only the most dedicated monster connoisseurs. It's business is orchestrated by the Arturo Legion (both collectively and singly known as Arturo), a collective of brilliant minds brought together as a single entity in much the same way as are the Thinkers. Though current trade relations with the Guild are professional if not amicable, the Arturo Combine does not tolerate interference with their Hunts, and in most cases will react negatively (read: violently) to such, regardless of the offender's affiliation.

Deiter Executive Resources
A corporate command and control structure that manages and sustains interdimensional trade routes and polices the Transdimensonal Charter. In addition to stabilizing cross-dimensional currencies and valuables, DER also deals in other control mechanisms - media, myth and rumor, psychic enslavement, and a thriving drug trade. Anywhere there is an insatiable demand for something, DER is there to offer it at inflated prices.

Ges'Mo-Grot Demon Clans
Arguably the most powerful Demonic group in the multiverse, Ges'Mo-Grot (GMG) - like most demonic enterprises - peddles in knowledge and power. Through whatever reason, GMG has achieved success where other demonic clans have failed, striking a balance between gluttony and restraint to preserve their herds and sustain themselves in a far more efficient manner than most others. Guild staff are advised to avoid contact with members of GMG outside of a Shargat-controlled environment, as they much prefer the Language of Pain to other means of communication.

Great Order of Divinity
A ruling council of Creator gods, GOD is essentially an "Old God's Club" where bored deities gather to exchange creationist stories and show off their newest projects. It is the largest single gathering of Creators in the multiverse, and the only group able to accomplish safe entry into a seclusive dimension. Initiating communication with the Great Order of Divinity is fully restricted, and any communication from the GOD should be reported to an Emissary as soon as possible.

Thorum Biogenics
An advanced biogenetics research firm originally from the Deldai dimension, it's continued existence is something of a minor mystery now that Deldai is no more. There is, in fact, no conclusive proof tying together the facilities scattered throughout several dimensions in the multiverse, except for the fact that each company (fully and legally registered as a legitimate corporation in each dimension) is named Thorum Biogenics, and is run in every case by a woman named Nathalie Thorum. Though each branch denies knowledge of the existence of the others (and, in fact, denies knowledge of multiple dimensions altogether), the similarities are simply too obvious to ignore. Regardless of it's origins however, any site of Thorum Biogenics is a place to procure top notch biogenetic modification of any sort.

One other troubling fact is that every outpost of Thorum Biogenics is creating a standing army of enhanced soldiers, stored in cryo beneath their facilities. The purpose of these forces is, at this time, still unknown.

Traveler/Neighbour Relations
There is nothing specifically forbidding transactions and interaction between Travelers and Neighbours (except where specified above). It is to be known, however, that the Traveler speaks only on their own behalf, and does not speak on behalf of the Guild. Guild-owned resources and aid are not legal tender for a Traveler, save for the rare sanctioned transaction. Personal items and the Traveler's own time are, however, not considered Guild-owned resources and may be offered freely.
