Ymir

Ymir is a Russian guild based in Kaliningrad. Originally an old mercenary group, Ymir transformed into a magic guild, and are known for producing the most S-rank members in the history of European guilds.

Location & Buildings
Ymir's base of operations is the Zamok Avangard, a refurbished castle in Kaliningrad.

History
Ymir was founded in 1984, by businessman Yul Yusupov. In it's infancy, it was a private-hire mercenary group from Volgograd created to stave off any raids or accidents to traders that worked for the company. Yusupov got the idea for the name during one of his visits to Finland, where he learned about their culture.

Some time during the late winter of 1987, word of the group's exploits had found its way to the ears of a wealthy Russian noble and Magistrate partner, Alexei Volkov. Forming good relations with Yusupov, the noble went on to introduce the early concept of guilds to the businessman. Thus started the first few years of Ymir as a guild, born through soldiers of fortune and later slowly reformed into a public group for talented individuals. Over time, the original soldiering core of the group dissolved and made way for the new talents.

Strength
While Ymir is popularized online for their weird and eccentric guild members, the guild is also renown for their overwhelming individual power.

Ymir holds a strict entry process into the organization. Members are scrutinized less on personality and character traits, and more on individual strength and talent.

Due to the aforementioned selection process, Ymir boasts the highest amount of S-rank members on the European continent.
