Guild:La Guilde Des Pipo (historical)

La Guilde Des Pipo [PiPo]
The Guild of the Pipo was named for a god the young DecapFour had seen in visions at the Temple of the Ages. The first of these visions occurred during the season of the Scion in 1072 AE (July 2005 by the Gregorian calendar). God Pipo bestowed upon DecapFour his seven commandments and made him his prophet in Tyria. These commandments became the milestone of the newborn guild, which would gather all of Pipo DecapFour's disciples. They roamed the world of Tyria speaking forth the words and commands of God Pipo to whoever might hear them, and eventually linked their destiny to the MMORPGS community, one of the three Official French Guild Wars communities. There they found a haven where they could express themselves aside other valorous and reputed guilds.

There are currently thirty-five active members within the Guilde des Pipo, of which a dozen form the first team, which defends the guild heraldry in guild battles. Additionally, it is not uncommon to meet PiPo teams in the arenas or Heroes' Ascent, where they train and demonstrate their team spirit. All members of the guild are ready to fight the enemies of Tyria at a moment's notice, giving their life for the cause that they have chosen to defend. God Pipo's disciples are also excellent penny whistle players and often perform in the cities, where they share timeless moments with other heroes who stop by for a respite from the violence and hatred to which they are all too accustomed.

The Guild des Pipo regards itself as a family with strong ties between its members, most of whom would likely never have had the chance to meet one another, let alone grow to be friends, due to differences in age, lifestyle, and location. Despite their diversity, these members came together under God Pipo's commandments, which are as follows: "God Pipo's words you will speak forth," "In your guild with honor, pride, and fidelity you will trust," "Just and right causes you will defend," "In your ability to succeed, you will believe," "The weak, the widow, and the orphan you will care for," "Your adversary as much as your partner, in any occasion you will respect," "With the initiate or the dumbbell, tolerant you will be." All of these commands rang true to God Pipo's disciples and led to the creation of the guild, which continues to thrive as the seasons pass. Once one is a "Pipo," it is forever.

The guild's coat of arms is a bear paw, in reference to a disciple of the first hour whose resemblance with this imposing and vigorous animal is striking. It is present on the guild cape in silver on a pink background. Pink because God Pipo's disciples never take themselves seriously, which stands as a mark of difference between them and a world full of stuffiness and hubris. The guild's members carry their colors with pride over Tyria, where they are considered appealing and jovial folk. A Warrior with a pink cape is very likely to be noticed—it's impossible to remain indifferent about it—and it is often the reason people first become interested in God Pipo's disciples.

Looking to the future, God Pipo's disciples are determined to carry on their adventures into Cantha, as their swords, staves, and bows are more needed there than in Tyria now that their tasks within the northern kingdoms have been fulfilled. Long ago, God Pipo vows was worshiped by one of the great Kurzick Houses—House Lutgardis—whose citizens loved to spend hours listening to his penny whistle. It is for this reason that God Pipo's disciples pledge allegiance to the Kurzick faction without hesitation.
