 Before the Ashlem War and before joining the Covanian army, Blinding Spear as a guild was only known as a local mercenary group. The name was not far spread, those that knew the name sung praise for the guild high and loud, and it was this that eventually sent word to the Generals of Covania. During their time with Covania the name Blinding Spear became legendary. Members of the guild were instantly recognisable and shot huge moral boost into the soldiers they fought alongside with. often treated as heros and celebrities despite most members of the guild rejecting these identities.\\  Before the Ashlem War and before joining the Covanian army, Blinding Spear as a guild was only known as a local mercenary group.
