For many years now, tension has grown between the city of Antioch and
her sworn defenders, the Justicars. Differences of opinions on religion
and policies led the two organizations to fight one another, eventually
ending in a large exodus of the Justicars ranks from the city. Their
guild rules were quickly amended to allow for this, causing great upset
with their guild tutor, Lady Fieran Muroc, who expressed her discontent
to their Guildmaster, Calis Targaryen. Her warnings left unheeded, the
Justicars continued upon their path.
As the years progressed, the Justicars became more and more prevalent in
other cities, and less in their home, Antioch. Plans began to formulate
to move the guild itself from the city and into another, perhaps
changing the guilds image completely. In a heated discussion, many
Justicars were left standing on opposite sides of opinion.
This all came to a violent head when a meeting of Calis and those
desiring to move was infiltrated by Aronus Tal Saraan, who relayed their
words back to the Order of Lord Vahin. Furious at those meetings desire
to abandon Antioch and change their path from Justice, Lady Fieran
stormed from the guildhall, no longer wishing to teach this changed
guild. Furious, Lord Vahin then slew Calis for his betrayal, and the
city of Antioch branded those Justicars attempting to move the guild
traitors, even going so far as to lock the guildhall and to station
loyal Justicar guards within. The Justicars responded by formally
requesting citizenship to many cities, outguilding the Shah himself, and
replacing the Patronship of Lord Vahin, God of Justice.
Events seemed to sit for a few days, growing steadily more tense, when
in a flurry of activity, the Justicars of Antioch stormed the guildhall.
With help from many citizens of their city, the guildhall was forcibly
reopened, and by Council vote Calis was replaced with Sir Lucien.
Now all seems quiet as the Justicars rebuild their guild from the ground
up, though Lady Fieran has returned, and Lord Vahin reinstated as
Patron. Hopefully reparations may be made with both sides, ending this
history of discontent. And on a more dastardly note, what of the
Justicars who fled city with Calis? More rogue Justicars roam the lands
than ever before, leaving the guild harmed in leadership and numbers.
