    Anyone know a trustworthy guide or site knowledgeable about adventurers. Like the history of adventurers and how they're portrayed in various fictions of Western to Eastern influence?

    I want to make adventurers shine (darken) again! Make them adventurous and centralized their adventure as an endless journey.

    I mean the call to adventure has probably been around since forever, or are you talking about something like a adventure from a guild?. But becuase of the huge amount of time that there have been stories about adventures, for example, the earliest works ive read of is the Illiad and the Odyssey by Homer. And i doubt there is a earlier work than the epic of Gilgamesh. But trying to find a info dump containing information on somthing like that till the stories of today would be very difficult.

    In western regards this sounds about right.
    For eastern works: the journey to the west is a classic and pretty old. Hindu mythology might contain some older stories however, given how ancient that particular mythology is.

    Dungeons and Dragons probably had the biggest influence
