Seeker's Guild
The Seeker's Guild is a group in Four Swords Adventures.[1]
Biography
The Seeker's Guild's office is located in the Village of the Blue Maiden, which inhabitants are its main clients. The Seeker's Guild concerns itself with finding missing people and solving oddities and other problems occurring in town.
The Village of the Blue Maiden was in a tremendous uproar because all of the children had gone missing. Many villagers came to the Seeker's Guild to get help finding the children or to volunteer as new member. To prevent nagging villagers and worthless volunteers from getting in the way of the guild's investigations, the leader of the guild got one member to pretend to be first in line to the office[2] so that no one could enter through the front door.[3]
However, there was a second entrance located at the side of the office. This one was both for guild members to come and go through and to select worthy volunteers on, since anyone capable of spotting the entrance had to have some talent to become a Seeker.[4] Link made use of this entrance when he went to volunteer, referred to the guild by the agents spread across town. He was accepted and additionally given his first assignment: to collect the clues found by the agents.[5]
The four agents had been spying on some of the mages in town, certain that they had something to do with the disappearance of the children. From this activity, they each were able to provide Link with a small piece of information they had eavesdropped: "The six...",[6] "Protect...",[7] "Deeply connected to this village..."[8] and "Beautiful!".[9] With these clues, Link returned to the leader to discuss what it could mean.[10] The breakthrough came when Link suggested the words referred to the Shrine Maidens. Grateful for this advancement in the investigations, the leader gave him both a shovel and information on a hidden passageway on the other side of the village.[11]
Coincidentally, these rewards allowed Link to also help out in the guild's search for Iris, a novice mage that had gone missing.[12]
After Link defeated the Shadow Links to the east of the Village of the Blue Maiden, the villagers came to congratulate him on his success. Among them was Secret Agent One, who explained he came on behalf of the guild's leader, who was too busy to come himself. He expressed both gratitude and a wish for Link to stay and join the guild, but stated he understood Link had to go.[13]

Of course, we're looking into it, but we don't have time to talk to everyone! That's why I'm here. I'm pretending to be in line, but I'm really just blocking the entrance. It's important work!" — Guild's doorman (Four Swords Adventures)
- ↑ "You spotted the entrance. You have a keen eye. This is the office of the legendary Seeker's Guild. We're investigating the sudden appearance of those suspicious mages. We've reason to believe they may be connected to the vanishing children. What do you say? You seem talented enough. Care to help us out?" — Leader (Four Swords Adventures)
- ↑ "Oh, you'll help?! That is spectacular! There's something I need you to do right away. Four of our brothers are in the village investigating the weird mages. They must have found some clues by now. Go and speak to the four of them and see what clues they've found so far. The key to this mystery's bound to be in those clues. One of the brothers should be right out here to the left. You have your orders!" — Leader (Four Swords Adventures)
- ↑ "... ... ... Hm...so you're a new member of the Seeker's Guild, are you? Let me tell you about the clues our investigation has turned up so far. This odd little mage whispered this to me: "The six..." I'm sure it's connected to this incident somehow! Don't you forget it!" — Secret Agent One (Four Swords Adventures)

- ↑ "... ... ... Oh, so now you're a member of the Seeker's Guild?! Well then, why don't you listen to the clues I've gathered so far! A weird mage is lurking somewhere back here... I can sometimes hear her talking to herself, and this is what she says: "Deeply connected to this village..." That is most definitely a clue! Go and report this to the chief!" — Secret Agent Three (Four Swords Adventures)
- ↑ "... ... ... Oh, so you're here to help with the investigation? That's welcome news! Well then, listen to what I have to tell you! Look! The mage is over there, right?

What's she up to?" — Secret Agent Four (Four Swords Adventures)

- ↑ "... ... ... Of course... Something's happened to the six beautiful maidens that protect the shrine... That's it, isn't it? Your powers of deduction are truly magnificent! We'll use your findings to continue our investigation! Oh, yes... As thanks for your help, I'd like to give you something. During the course of our inquiry, we dug up a hidden passageway. Try digging by the house of pots in the south-eastern part of the village. You should find a path that will take you to places otherwise unreachable." — Leader (Four Swords Adventures)
- ↑ "Hmmm... We've looked all over, but we just can't find that mage's missing student. How did she vanish? Where did she go?" — Secret Agent Two (Four Swords Adventures)
- ↑ "Hey, it's you guys! It's me! You know, Secret Agent One! I just wanted to thank all of you on behalf of my boss, who's just too darned busy. This whole time, we thought it was the mages... But it was just a misunderstanding. If it weren't for you guys, we never would have cracked this case. We owe you big! We'd really like you guys to stay here in the village and join our guild. But we understand you can't, so we won't try to force you to stay. But good luck out there! I know you'll pull through, whatever you're doing!" — Secret Agent One (Four Swords Adventures)
