One of the things readers enjoy most about The Dark Profit Saga is the extensive worldbuilding behind the satire. I’m opening up some of my notes and sharing (spoiler free) lore and background information behind Arth, a world much like our own but with more magic and less vowels.
The Heroes’ Guild is an international organization of professional adventurers, who specialize in monster slaying, treasure acquisition, hostage retrieval, and more. The Guild is among the largest and most powerful organizations on Arth, with wealth rivaling even Andarun’s treasury. Under the banner of a sword crossed with a fiery comet—officially called the Sword and the Sorcery, but affectionately referred to as the old Hack n’ Slash—professional heroes protect all the people of light (and make considerable sums doing so).
