For a long period of time the city of [[CityOfAdventure Sharn]] played host to two adventuring guilds, Clifftop and Deathsgate. That dynamic was upset when a member of Sharn's elite with little better to do decided to create an adventuring guild of his own, settling it in the Stormhold district of Middle Dura.

Despite their upstart status and mixed origins the men, women, and . . . beings of Stormhold have continued to find themselves making a name for themselves in the adventuring business, often finding their path leading them into increasingly pivotal points across the continent of Khorvaire. How easily do adventurers get in over their heads, indeed.

* ActionGirl: Kale, Yeraa, and Jesel are all solid examples each in their own way. Even Gydd picks up shades of this as time goes on.
* AbortedArc: Before there was a second group of players the first took a stab at running a secondary party themselves, tentatively named the Shadows of Stormhold and taking a job on the Mournland Express. After dealing with some thieves and a group of traveling performers with some [[OurGnomesAreWeirder very scary clowns]] the party was left on a cliffhanger and hasn't been played since.
