1 Tranquility 4 Lupar 267 - 278 Founder of the Ashura, along with Skarash, Kindral and Aedessi.
2 Enoc 279 - 293 Took over when Tranquility stepped down. Established a guild shop and led the guild through a war between Ashtan and Shallam.
3 Sunrise 293 - 312 He and Xandu contested when Enoc began to become dormant.
Eventually, Sunrise resigned to join Aegis in the rift to fight Slith. It became clear on his return in 327AF that the experience had left him crazy.
He was outguilded by Shusen after he disobeyed and attacked senior guild members, Demeter, and stole 800k gold from the Aegean Order.
4 Shusen 312 - 328 During his term, conflicts between the guild and some members of the Divinity led to the guild hall being set on fire by Pandora and war against Sartan from 23 Aeguary 323 to 6 Sarapin 324AF. Naming Ryukishi as his successor when he stepped down, Shusen nevertheless remained active in the guild for many years afterwards.
5 Ryukishi 328 - 350
6 Galrog 350 - 361 Proposing a change in Patron from Demeter to Thoth resulted in a guild fractured by opinion; eventually, this was resolved, and with agreement from Demeter and the majority of guild members, Matsuhama became the Patron.
Galrog was replaced by Revelation when Galrog was unable to devote the time required for his position.
7 Revelation 361 - 375 After having achieved his goal of rebuilding the Ashura to what it once was, he named Rennyn as his successor and stepped down.
8 Rennyn 375 - 411 He led the Ashura through autoclass and the guild-house transition, supervised acquisition of the Dragon's Eye, and reinstated Aegis as Patron.
