This is a combination of Fighters Guild and Imperial Legion on Vvardenfell whose unique conditions and weakness have led them to merge. Because of their Fighters Guild side, they are mercenary to an extent. Because their Legion side, they are Imperial guards. Thus their survival is decided by Duke Vedam Dren who has decided merging them is a good idea and gave a charter for this guild. Although this is a guild, let us look at the big picture...
The Duke is not totally supportive of Helseth; yes he serves him as a Duke but he wants peace, not civil war, and he wants Redoran, Telvanni, and Hlaalu to co-exist. So when he sees the Morrowind Legions rolling in and taking and absorbing Moonmoth, Firewatch, Pelagiad, and Firemoth, as well as making minor outposts and garrisons on Vvardenfell... he is definitley concerned.
1. his power is being undermined by Helseth's forces, so he cannotmake demands without going through the Morrowind Legions
2. his own forces and security are being overrided and his Legions absorbed into the Morrowind Legions
3. Peace will be much harder to maintain with brutal Dunmeri Legions so close to Telvanni and Redoran lands who are in alliance*
*as of now, before war, the alliance is anti-Hlaalu only if Hlaalu attacks and so currently onlyan economic anti-Hlaalu, so they don't need to trade with Hlaalu and only with each and with Indoril and Dres.
so Duke Vedam Dren wants to establish a powerful Guild to make sure he is safe, and peace can be attained. So far he has two weak factions, the Fighters Guild which lost much leadership, and also lost much in the Daedric invasions... and the Legions which are growing thin.. the Gnisis Deathshead Legion has many who resigned and joined Redoran or the Valenvaryon, the Moonmoth ones are absorbed by the Morrowind Legion as are Pelagiad's, and the Buckmoth were wiped out by Daedra when they attacked Ald-ruhn. Thus he has two small and weak factions...
Dren needs to be able to counter Helseth's influence, and also wants the new Guild to be a big mercenary-service with Imperial influnce to GUARD not ATTACK, so that the Houses will use less of their troops and hire for low cost Guard mercenaries... thus be less war-inclined...
(his intentions are good but of course we know a war will break out anyhow ...when war breaks out, the Guard Guild will stop lending services and most will be recalled to Ebonheart to protect it against everyone and maintain its neutrality. )
so knowing all of this guys, think of quest ideas please....
the leaders are co-consuls like the old Roman Legions... Percius Mercius of the Fighters Guild side and probably Frald the White of the Hawkmoth Legion, the only one not defecting or being absorbed (also the strongest Legion).....
