Ba Ha'Dur

Ba Ha'Dur is a fighter's guild for barbarians, duelists, paladins, and monks, namely. Any person can join so long as they can prove their strength, honor, and if they have a religious affiliation, their devotion to the god. No god is judged unworthy so long as the fighter themselves is admirable.

Like Dominion, fighters from Ba Ha'Dur can be hired, but only under specific circumstances. The person paying for their service must be under threat in some immediate way; for example, them, their family, or their home. Unlike Dominion, fighters cannot kill without a reasonable cause. They cannot steal or commit any other crime. Most in the guild believe that they are there to lawfully serve the people.

They have other guild specific rules: no fighter can participate in any crime when outside of the guild. If fighting outside of the guild, the cause must be justified. In fighting in a tourney, they represent the guild and must act in a way that brings honor to themselves and their organization. They are given a helmet upon being initiated and must always wear it while outside in public. Any infraction or request must be submitted to a council of three senior fighters to be judged or approved. Any action without their approval will be reviewed, and the punishment is removal from post, helm, and cast out of the group.

Because of their generally benevolent behavior, consideration for the safety of the people, Ba Ha'Dur is seen as a peacekeeping organization and a quasi-police force. They are located in central Dogane, in the capital Deron.

The name comes from the founder, Ba Ha'Dur, who yelled his name before each fight. In the battle where he died, the survivors founded the organization in his name and ideals. Each leader takes a name beginning with letter B once they assume their role. The present leader of Ba Ha'Dur is Basil.
