This is the story of how two Guilds were born, and are today what we all know.
I don't know the full story, but I will show you what I have, I'm sure the people in question will also provide their own facts about this story, and together we might end up yelling at each other or actually have a story to tell.
The first House Dagfinn post is created by Earl, founder of the guild.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I start looking for more and I see Mido (nowadays King of Vanirs) recruiting for House Dagfinn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this point they were part of a Kingdom called Kingdom of Westeros and for what I understand they were playing in the server Commonwealth.
12 June 2015
House Dagfinn merges with a clan Jomsvikings, I don't know in which conditions this merge was celebrated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
04 August 2015
Mido announces that House Dagfinn is renamed to Vanirs Krigsman, probably a product of the merge with the Jomsvikings.

19 August 2015
The first Vanirs Krigsman recruitment post is created.

What I know
At this point they were all playing at a server called synegaming, and I know this is where something happened - something that later led Boz Dagfinn (still Lord of House Dagfinn) to split from the Vanirs and reform House Dagfinn.
Both guilds started once again, this time in a new server - a server called Slaughter House, known by many of the old school players, the same server where I've come to meet them.
When I first joined House Dagfinn I was told we were allies with the Vanirs Krigsman, but at some point and really soon after I joined we became enemies for reasons yet unknown.
A culture of hate began to be nourished by both sides, through out all the battles and fights we've had against each other, sometimes even without any real purpose.
Because of that, nowadays you will see a new Vanir member and a new Dagfinn member hating each other, not even understanding why:
The Dagfinn never met the Vanir he never fought a Vanir in his entire life, he never even saw a Vanir in-game, the Vanir never met the Dagfinn, he never fought a Dagfinn in his entire life, he never even saw a Dagfinn in-game, yet ... they hate each other.
A group of friends that has joined forces together in the past, is nowadays splited.

-------------------------------------------
Last words: Don't take things personally this is just one version of the facts and in this case my version, and this are the facts I searched for and the ones I experienced.
I also felt the need to make this thread because I think this two guilds were responsible of making what Life is Feudal and it's community is today, both are part of its history and the impact they've made should be recorded here on this forum, set in stone.
Even if House Dagfinn and Vanirs Krigsman are enemies in-game it doesn't mean we are out of it. In fact I still have many people I talk with in the Vanirs.
With this said I will call out some names to contribute to this thread:
@Mido
@Dragmar
@Boz Dagfinn
@Earl Dagfinn
@Gasten
But if you'r not in this list and you've been there, feel free to let us know where you were when this all began.
