-The '''Ashura''' was originally founded by Tranquility in 267 AF as [[Ashtan|Ashtan's]] own [[Monk]] guild. The events leading up to the founding of the Ashura are shrouded in mystery, as not much was written down. As most warriors tend to think of the present rather than their own posterity, no information can be found of the opening ceremonies or initial city honours.  Beyond generalities and an announcement by Tranquility, nothing specific was stated publicly of the rise into Guildhood at all.
+Fed up with pacifist tendencies of their comrades, Tranquility and a group of other Kharon warrior-monks--Skarash, Kindral, Aedessi--finally left the village of Hashan, never quite getting along with its leadership, and returned to Ashtan, their original home. All was forgiven as this was a critical time in the city's [[modern]] history and great warriors were direly missed. The law that had forced Tranquility out was immediately declared null and in the year 267 AF, with the blessing of the God of War, they formed the Ashuran monks, named after and ever loyal to Ashtan. Building a new monastery atop the foundations of the old Kharon guildhall on the historic hill of the Cyclade, they soon became known for excellence in the field of combat.
