  Player  
    
        RPGA# 
  Has Joined the Following Verbobonc Meta-Org:
   
  The Hardiggin League 
  League Sage/Guardian of Truth 
   
  The Hardiggin League Sages are the most knowledgeable and sworn to the halfling community in the Viscounty. 
  They are also keepers of the most terrible secrets that the League has. Membership at this level is by invitation 
  only and the initiation ritual is a strongly guarded secret. To the rest of the world the League Sage is the 
  director of stories and usually the elder in many of the halfling communities. To the elite of the League the 
  Guardians are the ones that discretely seek out adventurers or means to end threats to the community at large if 
  they are able. 
  Requirements 
  Hardiggin Ring: Guardian of Truth: 200gp (character must purchase) 
  Initiation Ceremony: 1 TU  
  Knowledge (local VTF): 2 ranks 
  Knowledge (History): 2 ranks 
  Special: Must be a Community Member of the Hardiggin League for 24 months or be invited to join 
  the League Sages. Influence with the Hardiggin League can be used to reduce the time 
  requirement by 3 months per influence spent 
  Special: Must maintain Community Membership in the Hardiggin League.  
  Annual Convention: 1 TU 
   
   
  Benefits 
  They know me here: Sages have 2 permanent influence points with the Hobniz Church. In any 
  scenario that has a Halfling Cleric (of any faith) the character is entitled to free casting of 1st – 5th 
  level Spells.  The Sage must pay for any material component. 
  Hardiggin Doublespeak: In order to identify other members of the upper echelon of the League elite 
  members learn a double speak that sounds like normal common conversation Collectors have a 
  +2 Circumstance bonus on Bluff checks when conversing with other members of the league. 
  Upon joining the player may contact the triad metaorg coordinator to gain access to the 
  Hardiggin Doublespeak document (This bonus is cumulative with the bonus granted from the 
  Collector of Tales membership only). 
  Brother in the Fight: When a sage becomes initiated into the League he develops a close association 
  with another organization involved in defending the community and common folk. The sage 
  becomes known to the organization and may call on them in time of need. When the character 
  joins this metaorg he must select one Verbobonc Metaorg with which he gains 1 permanent 
  influence point:  
  Brother Organization ______________________________________________ 
  Hidden Knowledge: While in the Verbobonc region, the Sage gets a +2 Circumstance bonus on 
  Knowledge (Religion), Knowledge (Local VTF), and Knowledge (History). This bonus is 
  Cumulative with bonuses from Community Membership but not with bonuses from Collector of 
  Tales membership.
