The East Indian Guild is a Dutch-language guild that plays both PvE and PvP, both casually. The East Indian Guild is loosely based upon the United Dutch East Asia Company, a collection of successful seafarers, explorers, and traders from the 17th century. When it came to choosing a side in Factions, the guild leader learned that the Luxons were also seafarers and traders. At that time, the only Kurzick NPCs the EIG had met were Lukas and Headmaster Amara. They were both too arrogant and thus represented the Kurzicks badly; their loss! And so the choice to become Luxon was made. The EIG cape springs from that history. The anchor symbolizes the United Dutch East Asia Company and the green resembles the jade sea.
