In the Year of 28PC, in the Reign of King Evanard, a brutal and bloody war was being waged in the Streets of Calanda’s great cities. Two guilds of a most ill reputed nature, were at each others throats. Some say it was a perceived slight by one member to another. Others say that it was for Love that the guilds went to war, still others think it was for money and power. No one truly knows why the guilds fought.
The Culprits were to of the most prominent guilds in Calanda. The Dragons, a Guild of light fingered, light footed gutter rats, and The Rose, a group of hired knives so called do to a calling card left at the scene. For a Year and a half the two guilds were at each other. It escalated so bad that the common folk would rise in the morning to see the Home Guard still cleaning the streets of blood and bodies.
King Evanard grew tired of the reports he heard about this “Guild War” and ordered the officers of the Home Guard to arrest any Dragon and Rose they found and Execute them on the spot. With his proclamation made it left it in capable hands…so he thought. After six months of raids and attacks on guild strongholds and safe houses the Home Guard made progress in stopping the war. But soon enough, the evil in all men came out and the Home Guard officers started using this power for themselves. Its rumoured that many officers settled old debts using this power. Arresting people they owed or owed them. Its also spoken, that some Nobles used the Home Guard to defeat their rivals. And even worse and more hushed about, is that the King used this Power to enforce his law. All and all the people were not happy with this and soon talks of revolt and uprising started to appear more often in the deep taverns. In the Year of 29PC the talks became action, and King Evanard was displaced as King, all the while people forgot about The Dragons and The Rose.
In the years to come townspeople and city folk started to see small changes to the old hangouts and hold-ups of the former guilds. New colours were added and sigial was seen upon the doors. After eight years of small changes to the buildings a plaque was hung on the out side of the buildings for all to read, and to this day it says:
