The Ebon Fist once existed as the honourable Tanjinn Monks, and strove towards excellence and perfection in the triadic
beliefs of the Mind, Body and Soul. The House resided within the city of Mhaldor prior to its disestablishment.
Despite its tumultuous past, the Ebon Fist stood as a shining example of devotion to Evil and Mhaldor. It grew a great deal, particularly after the controversial allowance of forestals within its ranks. This allowed the house to serve as both the front-line ranks and the support troops for Mhaldor's continued battles against Good and its followers.
Founding
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 realisation of Monks inclined towards Evil that they must rally together and commit themselves further to Malevolence and Evil. Up until then, those who aligned themselves with 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 passed before the mantle of leadership was eventually given to Diamondesce Seir-Aristata.
