The Blackrazor Guild was founded in CY 577 by [[Brant Bladescream]] and named after his prize possession, the sword ''[[Blackrazor, Sword|Blackrazor]]''. A few years later Brant led the guild on a disastrous mission against the Ancient [[Black Dragon]] [[Woryx]]. Brant somehow made his way out alive, but most of the guild and the sword were lost in the process. The guild would not recover for several years.

Blackrazor Guild Arms

Overview

Obsidian Bay's premiere guild for chaos, accidental destruction, and inadvertent heroism.

The Blackrazor Guild was founded in CY 577 by Brant Bladescream and named after his prize possession, the sword Blackrazor. A few years later Brant led the guild on a disastrous mission against the Ancient Black Dragon Woryx. Brant somehow made his way out alive, but most of the guild and the sword were lost in the process. The guild would not recover for several years.

In 586 the guild went through it's "Second Founding" when Malphas von Malaclypse took control of the Guild. Since then the guild has increased in size, fame, and of course infamy, across the Flanaess.
