For a long time, guilds have kept to the standard of protecting people and helping them through the task of jobs. This had been maintained through what permissions were granted via the Magic Councils rather strict approaches. Upon the leniencies granted to other light guilds which had been made for specific purposes, it became clear to them that for the purpose of this, the goal needed to be proposed for approval. With that, after some time and points made of past events, the council approved the guilds change to a very frontal form; hunting. Not just any form of hunting, but hunting monsters of all forms! Everything from rabid house pets to monstrous foes along or near the tier of Acnologia. Rather than to let them come to the town, this guilds main purpose is to flush out and repel, kill, or capture these creatures through either guild researched locations or through sightings by other people.
Lamia Scales focuses lie in several other rather large groups of things that make up the structure and base of operations outside of it's combative purposes. This section is entirety focuses around the history, the livelihood, the evolution, protection, and growth of nature. Now, before thinking of this as a guild that believes it's about tree hugging and so on, it's not. What Lamia Scale tends to be more serious about is both realistic, abnormal, and mythogical creatures and animals. Normal ranging from cats and dogs to deer, abnormal being Vulcans and the like, and then mythological such as dragons and such. Not to drag on with the countless list of things that both can and cannot be explained for being told it has or even being proven to exist at one point or another. The purpose of Lamia scale is one whom takes interest in these cases and will pursue what goals they may have with them as well while tending to these tales and prove what is and what is not factual.
One big aspect that one can eventually benefit from in Lamia Scale is the ability for one to grow in their field of magic. This guild best benefits summoners truthfully and more so in ones whom crave the knowledge to learn summoning. As far as mages are concerned, that's their benefit. Those who crave knowledge could sooth their troubles with an extensive library within the guilds many wings and additions so they are able to learn more and develop mentally. Granted, one does not need to belong to the guild purely for this reason. As a guild has it's researching and it's intelligence gathering, there are a need to bring along people who's expertise lie in fighting than in the papers and ink. Of course, people can freely take friends or just random contracting mages of other guilds of their own free will. Lamia Scale cares not for the type of mage one person is, but rather the person themselves. If they desire the things that they can offer, if they get along with others, than they can easily call this place their home anytime, any day, forever.
A unique approach to Lamia Scale from which is incorperated into the guild, is the idea of crafting and contracting. This allows mages of all types to branch out and grow on their own terms and reap the benefits of it as well. As goes for hunting monsters, whether obtaining pieces of their scales, claws, bodies, etc. one is able to use them to craft weaponry, armor, or items that they can then use in many ways for whatever purposes. Others can take out contracts with these creatures they clash with, forming bonds with them to become allies on the battlefield with them. Of course this couldn't be done so easily as to walk up, say hi, and become friends, the fighting to prove ones worth would be worth an infantesimal amount of words in the type of person someone is to something else.
All in all, Lamia Scale serves to protect the people, the wildlife, and expand the knowledge of all unknown. And with that, requires the help of family and friends alike.
