History

It was a dark and stormy night ... alright, it was neither dark nor stormy. In fact, the Guild of Saint Genesius was formed one evening during a congenial gathering at the Altavian home of (then married) Baroness Selene Colfox and Baron Jared Alexandre Blaydeaux.

The founding members included Baroness Selene Colfox, Baron Jared Alexandre Blaydeaux, Duchess Natalya de Foix, Mistress Renata Kestryl of Highwynds, Lady Anthea MacGillivray of Cairnagad, Lord Gwyllym y Gryffyn ap Rhys, Mistress Máirghréad Ros FitzGarret of Desmond, and Caid's beloved Lord Goldwyn of Britain who departed this world far too soon.

The guild was named for St. Genesius, the patron saint of actors, comedians, clowns, dancers, theatrical performers, musicians, attorneys, barristers, lawyers, printers and stenographers. Originally centered in Altavia, the Guild become a kingdom-wide organization.
