The guild that controls salvage, scavenging, and surface runs. Their patron is Saint Vesper.
Outriders are the only guild that crosses the threshold into the scorched surface above the city. This is not because citizens are barred from leaving, since citizens are free to leave the city if they wish; the Outriders are simply the only guild that makes the surface its business. They bring down what the city cannot make on its own and what it depends on: this ranges from pre-catastrophe alloys to crystals that allows the city to run (and if rumors are true, sometimes relics). However, the city cannot do without them.
Sepulchre considers them borderline heretical and the tensions between the two are high.
It's made worse by the fact that the Outriders are also the only guild that walk both worlds: while they have their own floor, it's basically formality and an Outrider will likely be found at the surface monitoring station nearby the surface exit, right in the slums. Many slum children have grown up hearing the tales of veteran Outriders talking about the surface world and the things they've seen and the adventures they've been through.
As a result, the rest of the Guilds don't hold them in high regard due to their mingling - a necessary evil for the resources they need. The Outriders don't involve themselves in the politics of Deshret much, either.
