The Fighters Guild was founded in the 320th year of the 2nd Era by Versidae-Shaie at the suggestion of Dinieras-Ves "the Iron" to provide for public order without having to resort to standing armies. At first, it was called The Syffim (which means 'soldiers' in Tsaesci). Although it began as an Akaviri only organization, it eventually opened it's doors to all races.
