Dear fellow scribes, maybe you can help me out with this: in one of my source books I read quite some time ago about a society of plane travelers/researchers/investigators. I checked my source books related to Planescape and/or the planes, but couldn't find the page again.
Can anyone help me out with where to find this. I got extremely hooked up with this society.

Could this be the Planewalkers' Guild, which is featured in Tales from the Infinite Staircase (p. 20)? |

None of the above, really - their main base (if they have such) is on one of the bigger landings of the Infinite Staircase. |

| I remember that it used to be in Sigil, now it's a tent-city that often moves |

| Realmslore mentions a Council of Far Travellers -- long before Planescape twinkled in David Cook's eye. This is one of the least exposed and publicly detailed groups or individuals relative to its influence on Faerūn. |

Where was this group mentioned? It's not a name that I'm recognizing immediately...  |

I'll have to pull up that file when I get home, and see what's written about this group. Thanks! |

I'm not entirely sure, but I think I've got a question pending with Ed, on the Far Travellers. Back in 2005, maybe.
If not, I really need to ask, because this particular council has always intrigued me. |
