The Empyreal Assembly, formerly called the Priests Guild, was one of the oldest organisations in Achaea, although the details of its formation is mostly lost to history. The organisation was devoted to the tenets of Honour, Service, and Wisdom as well as the ideals of Order, Righteousness, and Light.
Founding
In the Modern Age, the Priests Guild was founded by Odysseus in 178 AF. The Guild became a House in 396 AF.
Destruction
When Bal'met, the Worldreaver destroyed Shallam in 612, its Houses were also destroyed. The former Empyreal Priests began pilgrimage in exile, following the rest of the survivors to refuge on New Hope before assisting in the founding of the new city-state of Targossas in 623.
