Good name for guild or organisation.


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


So I am going to run a campaign that is simular to the way Pathfinder Society is ran amongst my group of friends. I have decided to make a guild, and have them all start as Level 1 characters.

The backdrop of the guild is that it is an association that offers services to businesses/individuals in the way that the Pathfinder Society does, it will be smaller and probably better accepted amongst my friends. (I've tried to run PS before and it hasn't worked as well as planned)

I plan to include a major artefact that can restore a dead character to life but the character loses all knowledge and gear it had since it was last used.
(i.e if a character dies in a session, it gets restored to the way it was at the start of the session, forgoing XP, loot and character experience.)

I am really stuck on the name for the group, any suggestions? I want to have it tied to immortality or servitude towards the betterment of civilisation.


For something simple and one-word, maybe 'Everlast'?

Or you could tie it to an in-character backstory of the guild by naming it after the founder, or someone they were inspired by. Perhaps the first person to discover this immortaliity artifact of yours. My setting has an adventurers' guild called Cloudchaser, named after its founder, Illina Cloudchaser, who inspired her allies to form the organization. (Works better if the source of inspiration has a cool name. Something like "John's Adventurers' Guild" isn't going to catch anyone's attention).

Or maybe go with a name that references something people know, like 'The Order of the Stone', in reference to the philosopher's stone (your own artifact may not be a philosopher's stone, but the point is that it's a reference people will understand.


Thank you for your suggestion, I have found a name that I like. I have settled on Phantoms of the Noble, seemed fitting and cryptic enough for the group that I hope it will be.
