On the 4th of Daedalan, 333 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, the Tanjinn were formed from strife and hardship and the Will of Lord [[Sartan]], the Malevolent.


The Tanjinn's formation began a decade earlier, with the realization of Monks inclined towards Evil that they must rally together and commit themselves further to Malevolence and [[Evil]]. To that point in time, those who would align themselves toward Evil were forced to remain rogues in the city they chose to inhabit. The order of the Daemonic Hand, led by Jupiter Dawyn and further guided by Diamondesce Seir, was created and began the recruitment of those with Malevolent intent in their hearts. Their rigorous work and steady dedication led to the founding of the Tanjinn, with Akechi Jupiter Dawyn as their leader, the Daemonic Hand. Years would pass and the mantle of leadership would be eventually given to Diamondesce Seir-Aristata.

In the year 360 AF, Archfiend and Qui'anar Locus informs the guild that Daemonic Hand Darknight has fallen gravely ill and may die, and in his stead, Archfiend Nerav will remain in charge. One year later, Locus, Nerav, and Darknight conspire, and remove the Tanjinn from Mhaldor, claiming to be oppressed by Mhaldor and Lord Sartan, and betrayed by Diamondesce, who "struck a pact with Lord Sartan." They reject Thoth as patron, for matters of security rather than lack of worship. Diamondesce tries to take over control of the guild and remove Darknight, but she is outguilded and outcitizened, for "betrayal", along with several others. All members are encouraged, but not required, to leave Mhaldor.

Lords Sartan and Thoth quickly squash this betrayal, returning Diamondesce and all other outsted members to guild and city, and reinstating Diamondesce as guildmaster. No matter how much she toiled, Diamondesce could only repair so much of the damage that the traitorous Darknight caused.

In the year 363 AF, Diamondesce reiterates that no member may follow Indrani, and that she will never be Patron, due to various reasons including her order protecting Darknight.

In the year 394 AF, the Tanjinn Monks become the Ebon Fist, due to being considered the "Black Fist" of Evil, which had always been reflected in the name of their leadership clan, as well as the house shop.

Despite its tumultuous past, the Ebon Fist stands today as a shining example of devotion to Evil and Mhaldor. It has grown a great deal, particularly after the allowance of [[forestal|forestals]] within its ranks. This allows the house to serve as both the frontline ranks and the support troops for Mhaldor's continued battles against [[Good]] and its followers.
