Introduction
The Co. Black Guard was the official EITC guild for two Administrations of EITC Lord Governors. Lord Governor Samuel Redbeard (who later changed his title to Lord Marshal to show his dominance of the British Military) ruled the EITC from this guild during the Paradoxian War (1739-1745) during a major hostile time for the Company. Lord Governor Johnny Goldtimbers later restored this guild and used it for his Administration for the duration of his second term as Lord Governor during 1747.
History
The Co. Black Guard was created by Leon Goldtimbers, the EITC Lord Governor at the time. It was given to Samuel Redbeard upon his ascension to the position of Lord Governor. During the Paradoxian War, Samuel operated out of this guild, regulating EITC trade, commanding and moving his forces, and creating new ideas to be put into affect with his Administration.
Present day
This guild is the main guild after the Abandonment of British Co. Elites. It held 500 members and was led by Lord Johnny Goldtimbers & his Administration.
