In a nation called the Aelorian Communal Confederation, there exists a large company, a public-private corporation called the "Adventurer's Corporation" which employs "adventurers" in rather precarious contracts to deal with pests in urban and rural environments. Centuries ago, it started out as a run of the mill adventurer's guild, but has since become a soulless corporation. The public instance only ensures that the corporation cant just fire employees and charge customers extraordinary sums.
Plot: You work at the corporation, but you are a thorn in your managers side. Your manager comes one day to tell you that you have been transferred to the branch in the backwater nation of Frezhendara, a "peasants republic" that is almost on the other side of the globe. It is known as a developing nation and one of the poorest on the planet. You hear from colleagues that only delinquent employees and people who damaged corporation asssets, damaged it's reputation or did something illegal that the corporation wants to sweep under the rug, get sent to the Frezhendara branch.
Additionally, you hear that Frezhendara is the definition of backwater and backwards as it is said that corporation fighters and mages have to work like in the middle ages there because lack of modern technologies. The nation is said to lack any attainable valuable resources, making it uninteresting for outside nations and the few valuable resources are found in caves and dungeons brimming with impossible to defeat creatures, at least for modern adventurers and corporate wage slaves.
Frezhendara branch: A small Adventurer's Corporation branch in the peasant republic of Frezhendara. It is somehow not represented on any company maps or pamphlets. It is in a decrepid state and the most recent administrative team quit their jobs. The longest employed employees are locals doing the adventuring work. Communication between the branch office and adventurers are done by carrier hawks. Equipment is low quality and much of the office work is still done with parchment and ink quills. The living situation is precarious and the overall situation feels like the arcane middle ages. The locals may be friendly but they are relatively uncivilized for the employees arriving there.
According to past branch statistics, the branch has a low turnover and a very high death rate, not just for adventurers, but also for administrative tasks. Causes of deaths that are listed are food poisoning, suicide and death during field work, hinting that administrative staff has to go adventuring if there aren't enough adventurers to fulfill duties.
You are told that your job is to replace the administrative staff that quit, fix up the branch and do "community work" to which the description boils down to providing development aid to the local area with little to no resources given by the corporation itself. By now, you know that this transfer is a form of punishment, where you are expected to either quit or lose your sanity. But maybe you are determined enough to turn the place around into a good old classic adventurer's guild or maybe you will even just quit the corporation and make your own adventurer's guild.
Rules:
Only say you are interested or apply if you have the time to participate.
People who don't post for a week are skipped. If you don't post for two weeks without a reason given, you will be removed from the roleplay. If you notify the group that you cant post for a while, you will be skipped until you can post again.
No "one liners". That means you should take your time making a reply where you interact with others or don't create cliff hangers. Since a line can depend on screen size, I'd vaguely put the minimum recommended post length at 100 words.
