The Explorer's League

There Will be glory!

With leads and information being sent through the grapevine frequently, there is never a dull moment for an archivist at league. Directors of the museum lead expeditions frequently. The Museum Curator will assign the campaign to one of the museum directors, and fund the outing. The Director of Expeditions will then gather the crew and plot the trek before traveling to the area of interest. It takes guts to find the gold! delving into abandoned Qiqirin temples with sunken crypts holding treasure far below the murky surface to climbing steep mountains in search for highland raen reliquaries, a brave heart and determination will be your greatest ally! (And rope!)

There will be danger!

Beneath the shifting sands the dead walk in sleepless night. The ancient city of Amadapor crawls with creatures festering in mold and debris. Mhachi blood still runs in the veins of their vengeful descendants. There might be magic monsters, helions in the hamlets and ancient mysticism! Save relics before they are destroyed by bands of sky pirates to preserve the culture of a nation from being erased forever more! Now is the time to be brave and dare to go where no other caravan will! High stakes follow annihilation! Obliteration of civilization!Put your skills to the test even in the most dire of situations – relying on your fellow explorers and your quick whit will be the essence of victory! Battle ruthless monsters and delve into caverns lost to time in search of scrolls and remnants of the past.Return them to the surface, push the doctrine for knowledge farther than ever conceived!

There will be extremely big spiders and snakes around every pillar!

Whether it be staff wielding mages that are searching for the last card to complete their collection of a children's card game, voidsent with the single intention to eat your fingers, a brutal arena of musical brawlers, or hermit crabs that have inhabited rowboats; the caravan is surely to encounter mystical creatures of whacky origins!Keep your pray bottle of holy water in hand and pack a few extra potency bandages... maybe that screw driver will come in handy?Expeditions never are quite what meets the eye, and even a seasoned adventurer will be kept on their toes wondering how the story ends! Serious stories infused with tidbits of humor keep the narrative running, as aren't all good stories ones you can look back and laugh upon? The narrative follows the adventurers from their perspective of the story through the character's eyes – which can alter scenes to make them more than they appear to be in reality. Create memories that last and collect folklore – while making it too!

Meet the Curator

Owner of The Hall of Explorers is the intriguing and passionate Chachapaco Yuyupaco, a Dunesfolk Lalafell from the back end of the Peaks. With a penchant for collecting bones to add to his skeleton hoard, Yuyupaco is Ul'Dah's leading professor of paleontology and Chairman of the Board for archeology on evolution predating Eorzea's Third Astral Era.His place of permeance in the Ul'dahn Historian's Guild as Chairman has over decades gained Yuyupaco various wealthy backers. House Sorial is one of these backers who funds his trials and tribulations from afar.
With a sharp mind and tongue as silver as Vyldebrand's brooks, using leverage the professor has opened his personal stockpile of priceless antiques to the public in hope to educate the public on Beast Tribe evolution and the rest of Eorzeans origins.But who would want to sit in a stuffy old heap of books and bones when this star still has secrets to tell?For such a vaulted scholar and place of power, one would think Yuyupaco to be a wise elder Lalafell, but that would not be true.
His close colleagues know him as Paco, and as one of the most hair-brained scheming knit-whits in the business.

Enter the hall of explorers

Opening it's doors to the people of the Holy See in Empyerum's ward 4 plot 8, is the grand collection of The Curator. An esteemed trove of priceless information which boasts historical advancements in the professional world. A donated wing from a Dravanian after the Dragonsong War has been preserved and put on display in the main hall with podiums beside sets of Ishgardian armor progression through the ages.
Boasting precious items of Coerthan history in the main hall shows the history and progression of civilization before the Calamity and the healing that came after the Dragonsong War.
Paintings and diagrams cover the walls of the upstairs museum from different astral eras. Patterned stone tile floors lead around red ropes protecting reconstructed skeletons of prehistoric fossils that loop around the lit walkways. Gazing on high to the painted ceilings, hang rotorscopes alongside mobiles of the planet system made of shimmering little marbles.
There is a section for everybody in the museum for things to see and curios to peruse; the door is open all weekdays from sun up to sundown.
Currently, the Museum's exhibition storage rooms are closed to the staff due to a juromonger infestation in the basement. To avoid lawsuits, all junior explorers have been relocated to the Eastern Thanalan base near High Bridge.
