The Ebon Fist was founded in 333 AF by Jupiter Dawyn as the Tanjinn. Originally a monk-class guild, they became a house in the year 394 AF and began accepting members of other classes. It was at this point in time they changed their name to The Ebon Fist.
The detailed beginnings of the Ebon Fist follow.
On the 4th of Daedalan, 333 years after the fall of the Selucarian 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, and the custody of the Tanjinn given to the newly awakened Death God, Lord Thoth. Thus, the Tanjinn became not only a servant to Evil, but also to Death. Still, there were those who would remain discontent, always seeking to rise above the station given to them.
In the year 357 AF, the Tanjinn again would receive new leadership as Darknight Sioraiocht ascended to the position of the Daemonic Hand. With many of the guild laws established in previous years by the diligence of Diamondesce Seir-Aristata, Darknight seemed poised to take the guild another step further in the ranks of Mhaldor. Much to the chagrin of many Mhaldorians and the dismay of elder Tanjinn who were outguilded, like the Tanjinn's Founder, Darknight removed Lord Thoth as Guild Patron and attempted to sever relations with Mhaldor and remove the Tanjinn from the city. Cries of freedom rang amidst the guild as posts were made to explain their sudden departure and animosity toward Mhaldor. Being His creation, the Malevolent One reclaimed the Tanjinn for His own, eventually giving custody back to Lord Thoth and returning the seat of guild master to Diamondesce. No matter how much she toiled, Diamondesce could only repair so much of the damage that the traitorous Darknight caused. Given time, those actions and choices may be mended.
They are located in the city of Mhaldor.
Their house tutor is Zanshin, the Hand.
Houseleaders of the Ebon Fist are known as Daemonic Hands. Secretaries are known as Archfiends.
Their icon, now fallen to a coordinated effort by Ashtan, Eleusis, and Shallam, was the Fist of Oppression.
