Fiend's Bane Guildhall
The Fiend's Bane Guildhall is a meeting hall on the northern side of Drakesland Wharf, on Isle Machmorraig. It is the headquarters and main meeting hall of the famous adventurer's guild Fiend's Bane. It boasts a large meeting hall, a well-appointed library, and a number of magical charms and protections.
Defenses
The guildhall is heavily warded with various holy and arcane abjuration magic. Teleportation into and out of it is impossible, whether from elsewhere on the Material Plane or from other planes. Scrying magic also does not work on targets within its walls.
Tourism
Today, the guildhall serves primarily as a destination for those who find themselves accidentally or unwillingly Beholden to a Fiend who are willing to travel to the remote island to escape the consequences. Fiend's Bane has a number of counter-curses and contract-breaking magics, though some of these treatments are harsh and time-consuming, requiring rare ingredients or even severed limbs. Since Fiend's Bane has a policy against sharing these widely (lest they fall into the hands of fiends and become ineffective), a visit to the guildhall itself is the best way to break the curse.
Some scholars of the infernal also communicate with Fiend's Bane to seek further research on the secrets of the Lower Planes. During the spring and summer, Ulrich Fiensbane serves as a Paperdrake Warden, corresponding with these scholars in order to assist their research. (He refuses to allow Paperdrake Mail to the island in the fall or winter, due to the cold temperatures and strong possibility of storms.)
