'''''The Hearth''''' is the main functional hub & home of the [[Adventurers' Guild]], and it rests perfectly in the center of Eversun City.

== Appearance & Overview ==
The Hearth is so enormous in size that anyone walking around outside in the City can see the Hearth from where they stand. The Hearth's general silhouette is shaped like a pyramid, where the foundation is the largest and as one moves up its stories, the floors grow sparser and sometimes are only reduced to some towers and spires.

The castle in which the monarchy resides in sits behind the Hearth roughly a little taller. It's connected to the Hearth through a few hallways on the foundation floor. The castle staff and the Hearth staff work hand-in-hand to provide a partnered governmental body.

Upon entry of the Hearth, the main foyer is very open and tall. You'll find a reception desk spanning the length of the wall opposite of the front entry archway. Statues, art pieces, and some encased relics may be available for your viewing pleasure if you'd like to take a stroll around the foyer. There's dedicated rest areas with chairs & tables, beautifully decorated with accent rugs, plants, lights, or other minor trinkets that may give off the vibe of a comfortable home.

After all, home is where the Hearth is.

There are 10 receptionists manning the large aforementioned counter, each in a color-coded uniform and a counter display to associate with each of the 10 Major Divisions. This counter acts as an information kiosk mainly—they can tell you where to find something within the Hearth, how to fill out an application for their Division, or really any question you may have regarding the Adventurers' Guild. They're very intelligent and kind, so please utilize them as a resource.

== Indoor Division Structure ==
Each of the 10 Major Divisions have their own dedicated "branches" within the Hearth that are sectioned off individually. There are security guards everywhere employed by the Civil Affairs Division, wearing a very noticeable uniform with their Division insignia and colors. They need to be easily recognizable. Some guards are stationed at entryways to double-check identification cards to ensure only Adventurers are entering less-accessible areas. Some entry-level areas are completely public-access as an introduction to the Division, and they are able to observe some minor functions if they are interested in applying for the Guild.

Divisions neighbor each other in levels of relevancy to each other. If two Division departments are adjacent, it is because they are more likely to work together.

Think of its structure as multiple paper fans stacked together.

The first floor is arranged as such, from west to east:

* Education Division
* Civil Affairs Division
* Creative Commons Division
* Trade Division
* Environmental Division
* Wayfarers' Division
* Archivist Division
* Arcane Sciences Division
* Outerworld Division
* Contingency Division

Note that departments are '''not all created equal''' size-wise. The Wayfarers' Division department is still the biggest department by far, offering what could be considered a mini-mall/mini-district within its walls. This includes tiny shops, a large-scale cafeteria, and even houses the [[Ginkgo Tree]].

To follow along with the mental image of the Hearth's structure without a map, we're resting a paper fan on top of the first floor. Imagine there is are several stairwells in each Division department on the first floor leading to a very similar floor layout on the second floor, and once at the top of the stairwell, you are now located in another Division. There are guards stationed at the stairwells, but since there is so much hurriedness, they typically only check to make sure the staff member is equipped with an armband.

The second floor is arranged in a very similar manner with some Divisions swapped.

* Trade Division
* Education Division
* Environmental Division
* Civil Affairs Division
* Creative Commons Division
* Archivist Division
* Wayfarers' Division
* Contingency Division
* Arcane Sciences Division
* Outerworld Division

== Extracurriculars & Attachments ==
The Hearth has several buildings and facilities "attached" to its main building. These facilities include:

* The Education Division Academy
* The Environmental Division Nature Reserve
** The Nature Reserve encompasses the large-scale aquarium, botanical gardens, nature walks, and animal sanctuaries on the Hearth's campus.
* The Archivist Grand Library
* The Trade Division Postal Office
* The Royal Castle
