Classified: Bounty Hunters

[Chris Ganale]

[Two pieces of parchment are attached to the notice boards in taverns, market places, and adventurers' guilds across the realm, the first clearly marketed to prospective bounty hunters.]

 

 

Apex exists to provide sanctum, security, and fellowship to a particular service sector in Eorzea. You know who you are. The tireless tracker who pursues their quarry through desert expanses, island wilderness, and urban jungles, and always delivers on their contracts. You’re a bounty hunter, and your word is your bond. And you’ve no doubt noticed the significant lack of a support structure for those who share your occupation. Apex seeks to rectify this.

 

In seeking to provide a banner under which Eorzea’s bounty hunters can unite, Apex looks to provide the same sort of resources, support, and trusted expertise available from any of the other various guilds and companies of the realm. Licensed and legally recognized by the city-states of Ul’dah, Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, Ishgard, and the adventurers’ guild of Revenant’s Toll, bounty hunters of Apex have the necessary freedom to pursue their acquisitions through any territory considered friendly to the Eorzean Alliance without fear of undue interference from local law enforcement. We aim to provide first right of access to bounties before they are posted with the city levemetes. And last but not least, the professional courtesy of Apex means that you need not fear another licensed hunter interfering with your pursuit, as well as a near-guarantee of assistance should it be needed.

 

So if you’re a bounty hunter tired of being considered the scum of the realm, consider the fellowship and advantages of Apex.
