The Guild was one of the few creations birthed clans, but by the remnants of the old world order: the government.
In a world reshaped by power, where the Higher Clans and their divine bloodlines dictated much of global affairs, the governments of nations quickly realized they were no longer the highest authority.
Their laws meant little when a single clan could obliterate cities, and diplomacy broke beneath the weight of domains. Yet surrendering all influence was unthinkable.
So, they adapted.
They created something the clans wouldn't bother to control—something that didn't challenge the divine, yet served as a bridge between the common man and the extraordinary.
Thus, the Association Guild was born.
Not everyone wished to bend the knee to the gods. Not every talented soul saw divinity as a path worth walking. Some had no need for their bloodline, others no desire to serve.
