When a Grand Master dies, the other Grand Masters meet and declare a tourney of succession. The tourney is a fight to determine the strongest of the challengers who becomes the next Grand Master. When Grand Masters change often the schools in each pillar will be reorganized, the tourney is usually a turbulent time within the Warriors Guild politically and it is unsurprising that the Guild split and fell apart during one of these tourneys.
====The Pillars====
The four Pillars have general stereotypes that apply to those members, but as with any organization, people within the pillars can vary in how they approach the world. This is especially true with the pillars as what pillar a school belongs to can change with each tourney, and a single warriors guild member can find themselves belonging to a different pillar from one year to the next. These stereotypes applied much more accurately to the orginal schools of each pillar (which never change), but they still show some insight into the various members of the guild.
==Strength==
If any of the pillars can be considered more powerful or prominent in the Guild Structure it would be the Strength Pillar. The original school of the Strength Pillar was the Obsidian Tigers, which was Rizen's Dojo. Something that the members of this pillar are usually quick to remind the others. While all Warrior's Guild members are exceptional fighters, the Strength Pillar's fighters tend to be even a cut above.
The Strength Pillar's members are often accused of fighting for fighting sake, not seeing the bigger purpose, or anything beyond the person at the end of their blade. This unrelenting focus is their greatest weakness, and sometimes their greatest strength. They make amazing fighters, but horrible generals, often fighting to the death when the cause is lost. Members of the Strength Pillar would usually rather die to overwhelming odds than retreat to fight another day.
The Strength Pillar's members generally believe that honor and glory come to the strong. They are usually eager to fight and test their skills, they love nothing more thatn competition and struggle. They respect those that have proven their strength, but have little time for those who have not. Of all the pillars they take the most contracts and to the outside world are the face of the Guild.

==Honor==
Those of the Honor Pillar tend to take a slightly different view of strength. For those of the Honor Pillar, physical prowess is not enough, it is not an end in and of itself. They look inside themselves to find a deeper, spiritual strength. Honor pillar members tend to remain aloof from the other pillars, and even other Honor pillar members, seeking their own path to personal strength. However when presented with a cause that they deem righteous they will go above and beyond the call of duty to defend it with sword and blood.

==Courage==
They Courage Pillar focus' on inner strength and purity of mind an action to go along with great physical strength. Courage pillar members believe that the truly Strong's purpose is to defend those weaker than themselves. These patron saints of lost causes will often give their lives to protect those around them. They seek little reward for their actions looking only to lend their strength where it is needed.

==Vigilance==
The Vigilance pillar is the least likely to fight of any of the pillars. They remain stoic though conflict rising above it. They make the best generals, as they are able to look above personal conflicts and see the larger fight. While it takes the most effort to push the vigilance pillar into action, once they attack they usually do so lighting quickly and decisively, breaking their foes in one decisive strike, leaving no room for retaliation.

The Warriors Guild was one of the three guilds created by Rizen in the aftermath of the Guild War, (The Warriors Guild, The Scholars Guild, and the Alchemists Guild.) The Warriors Guild was made up of a unification of various fighting schools, and over time more schools and dojos joined the umbrella of the Warriors Guild.
The Warriors Guild is the militant arm of the Guild structure, they believe in honor through strength, and have a survival of the fittest mentality to their actions. They do sell their services as mercenaries, but their honorable reputation allows them to take and keep contracts that no other organization would be able to claim. They will refuse even lucrative contracts that are not for an honorable cause. They made implacable allies, and cunning enemies, and in their time were generally not crossed.
Internal conflicts, such as a fight between two members of the guild are kept within the Guild and are punished swiftly and harshly. The verdict for the guilty is almost always death. If there is some doubt of the circumsstances of the crime, a trial is held before the Grand Masters so that the person's fate can be decided. The trials begin at dawn and a decision is made at sundown. The decisions of the Grand Masters are final in these conflicts. The accused is not allowed to speak to the Grand Masters but an ally or mentor can speak for them as an advocate.
The Warriors Guild existed from that point until the early 700s when they tore themselves apart during the Warrior's Guild Schism, at which point they ceased to be a unified organization, however the schools that made up the guild continued on, some to the modern day. But the Warriors Guild as an organization was no more.

The warriors guild was made up of a loose network of schools, and entry into the guild varied from school to school, with some schools having all their members join, some only a select few. Schools wishing to join the guild needed to get approval of the Grand Masters of each of the pillars. Depending on the Grand Master this could be a simple process, or a very difficult one. When a school joined the warriors guild fold the Grand Masters would assign them to one of the Pillars.

Warrior's Guild members could be identified by Long Pure White Cloaks. The legends of the day said the cloaks were white because the warriors were so skilled they could fight a battle without a single speck of blood landing on the cloak. In addition, insiders knew that all official warriors guild members were marked with a small notch on their left ear.

The original warriors guild was made up of four schools, and the leadership of the guild was built around that. These original four fighting schools came to be know as the four pillars. As new schools were added to the guild, they were added to one of the pillars, in an effort to keep the ruling councils even. The pillars came to be known by single word, (Strength, Honor, Courage, Vigilance) Up until the very end of the guild leadership was handled by the heads of the four pillars. The Grand Masters.
