Establishments hosting AGs are not Adventurer exclusive!
/topples back out the broken window.
"Adventurers" actually have lore, history, and purpose! Back in 1557 6AE, the city-state of Ala Mhigo fell to the Garlean Empire. Fearing the Garleans would immediately invade deeper into Eorzea the remaining city-states began drafting volunteer soldiers. Lots of them. However, the anticipated invasion never came.
It wasn't until 1562 6AE that the Garleans attempted to advance deeper into the heart of Eorzea. So what became of all those drafted soldiers? Five years is a long time to wait for an invasion, and the city-states could not pay or feed the army they had amassed. So the soldiers took their unused military training and became mercenaries.
Forgive me for forgetting his name as I'm on vacation w/o a laptop, but it was Baderon's father who establishes the first "Guild" for these wayward soldiers. He offers them food and shelter in exchange for the promise of doing what they were drafted to do - help the people of Eorzea(and make a little money on the side).
As for AG host establishments being exclusive, I think we've got enough Quicksand text to say its safe for non-adventurers. Lets look at the Carline Canopy. This was built by Miounne's grandfather before she was born. If Adventurers are only 20 years old, it would be impossible to be adventurer exclusive. Beyond this, we can look at the clientele. Downstairs you'll find some merchants who are not adventurers. And what about Wood Wailers present within the Guild? They are most certainly not adventurers. If such an establishment were exclusive, they would likely hire Adventurer Guards, not local law enforcement. The fact that the airship docks are attached to the Carline Canopy and The Drowning Wench makes their being exclusive impossible. So only adventurers can ride airships now? The airship cutscene shows this is not the case.
So anyone who says "lore says exclusive" obviously doesn't know much lore! Also! Holy cow that was a lot to type on a phone. I miss my pc. In the meantime, I recommend doing the new Moogle Mail quests! They offer a bit of lore on this very topic.
Hope this helps! ^^
EDIT: Speaking of the new moogle quests, the first one has you fish up Baderon's old mate and cohort - a drunk roegadyn that is most definitely not an adventurer. But is most definitely drinking Baderon out of stock. Lore strikes again!
