The Heralds of History
The Heralds of History are a registered Venturing Fellowship based in the Great Civilization of the C'tan, and drawing personnel from the Mystria Region and beyond. Venturing Fellowships are a form of company established similar to the more common partnerships found in many nations, as a member-ownership company where all established partners agree to a chartered decision-making method. The Heralds of History are notable for a number of firsts including being the first well known travelers from Mystria to use faster than light drives, and the first to directly acquire use of interstellar starships.
One aspect of Venturing Fellowships that is almost unique to the form of business is that they often operate in highly dangerous or speculative fields, and they are usually commissioned with broad powers by one or more legal sponsors with Sovereignty, in the case of the Heralds was initially a remit granted to explore the Revenant Worlds of the Great Civilization, a region rife with magical detritus and undead entities, under the overlordship of the Nekhtyst Dynasty, who offer charters for Venturing Fellowships very freely. Since then the party has received more prestigious sponsorship, without geographic limitation, from the Lunar Principality, one of the Great Civilization's Minor Associated States, though one with out-size influence and moral prestige.
Such a charter may be considered similar to colonial charters or even letters of marque, though the function of such companies is not to settle or to directly combat enemy nations (though the Heralds have done so) but usually to achieve purely exploratory or scientific goals.
The members have achieved a substantial notoriety for a number of martial exploits, including saving the entire nation of Hippocratia from death at the hands of an entity known as the Eater of Breath, expelling a colony of brain-stealing Migou from the moon Charon in the Sol System, countering an incursion of the Thochar, a parasitic species on the Revenant Worlds, liberating more than sixty thousand political prisoners from the Atumite penal colony of Sheol and preventing its further use with the aid of the Menelmacari navy and rescuing the Cardin species from their self-imprisonment in a demiplane created to see them through an asteroid impact on their homeworld.
