an excerpt of a newspaper section, titled Guilds TodayArcheology Research Collective is Closing its Doors due to Loss of Funding Archeology Research Collective, or it has been familiarly known as ARC is closing its doors. The guild has focused itself on exploring abandoned ruins, and general treasure hunting, has enjoyed funding from rich merchants looking to expand their antique collections. Their patrons has since pulled funding from the guild due to a new direction that the guild leader is taking. Recently, ARC wanted to establish a museum of sort that would collect, catalog, and curate all their most important findings from their exploration. Their patrons, according to ARC, would only receive unimportant, yet valuable, trinkets in return and a name plaque on the museum. Apparently their patrons were furious of this, and pulled all funding immediately. Left without money, ARC is expected to close its doors soon. {Guild Action CR} 3

Days Happened : [Day 246 - 250]
Guild : Cobalt Sky Trades and Expeditions Initial PP : 4
Means of Completion : Erina studied the case of why the Archeology Research Collective is closing. She understood that the museum that ARC wanted to establish would be great in the future. Especially those who loves to learn history and everything. But their move is too drastic according to her. She offered her help in regaining patrons in return of having partial ownership to ARC and access to it's knowledge.
This plan of hers involves creating replicas of ARC's findings. While it's still a trinket, it was a high quality replica that no one could tell it's differences.
She would approach the rich patrons and tell that ARC is reconsidering their decision to establish a museum in an instant. And that their plan is a bit too hasty. She would then start slow with showing the value of a museum for future generations, they could learn history and everything about what the world was. And then she would recall her experience with a cursed treasure, and how she wouldn't want that treasure to fall into the wrong hands and that she was confident that ARC with the help of her guild can find a way to contain it's curse so that it doesn't endanger people.
She proposed that, in place of useless trinkets and a valueless name plaque. She would set the museum to a theme, the theme that would be set later on in a future. She would give patrons the actual findings if it doesn't fit the museum's theme. But she wouldn't give the finding if it fits the museum theme, but an exact replica and also an entire section to honor the patrons. Fabricating a tale of heroics of the patrons. Surely they wouldn't resist a chance of their name to be remembered as a hero or something else right?
After all... History is written by it's victors right?

When Erina involved herself in between the talks of the guild and the patrons, everyone present is bewildered. ARC doesn't know what a trades guild want with an academic-focused guild. The patrons, being savvy in matters of wealth, knows a bit about Cobalt Sky Trades and Expedition, however they never expected a trades guild to show their nose in this debacle.
Erina's persuasion works well on both sides. ARC agrees that as long as the artifact is not misused and has been rendered inert of all dangerous effects, then a replica in their museum would suffice. They are sure that the patron's own security systems would be better than ARC's own museum. However, ARC asks that the fact that the fact about the replica replacement be a secret between CST, ARC and the patrons.
The patrons also agree that they wouldn't want any dangerous artifacts near their home. They agree that some of the original and replica should be equally divided between the museum and the patron, noting that the patron's wings of the museum should be one of the grandest and largest part of the museum. They realize that with their names known for good things, it's only going to be good for business.
In return for mediating the negotiation, ARC pledged its' services to CST.
