HISTORY:
Originally, there was one gentleman who went by the Sword of Justice, a young
wump named H'avilah Yossi.  Yes, it's true, he was Jacob's brother.  Jacob
entered the House of Guilds intent on making money, Yossi was a social worker 
who went a little off the deep end.  Jacob, by virtue of Nahum's teaching, 
learned to deal a little more readily with money and power, not letting them
take over his life, but Yossi developed a combination of honest concern for 
the plight of the poor and homeless and a resentment and envy of his brother's
wealth that caused him to start pulling robberies and giving away the money.
(A criminal/gregarious cycle similar to the binge/purge cycle of bulemics)
His trademark was a sigil he left behind, a stylized sword, often followed
by the phrase "Justice is served."

Yossi was recently arrested and put away.  His lawyer, though, was Benhadad
Zachariah (who in addition to being a personal lawyer, also did free-clinic
work on the side).  Zachariah and Yossi actually got along quite well, and 
before the case was done Yossi had convinced him to carry on the "sword of
justice."  

Zachariah was Malachai Jonah's lawyer and as such knew Chaim.  One day Chaim 
was railing on about how poorly the Nisaku were treated in the Realm, when 
Zach offered to let him *do* something about it.  And so the Sword of Justice
became an organization of two. 

Meanwhile, Hyacinth and Noah returned to the Realm, and got a (cheap) apartment
that just so happened to belong to Yossi before he was arrested, and contained
(hidden) a bunch of notes (essentially a war journal).  Hyacinth discovered
this journal and thought the idea was a great one; she went to visit Yossi
(without Noah's knowledge--he had enough to worry about).  Yossi explained 
about the new Sword of Justice, Hyacinth tracked down Zachariah, and the rest
is history...

Finally, Chalid'eans Tuvan, a madwand and a thief, noticed the threesome 
breaking into a jewelery store.  He was intrigued, more so when he saw them 
give the stuff away.  He figured they would be *very* useful in helping him 
do his thievery, so he confronted Zachariah and asked to join.  He did, but
has been keeping his fourth of the proceeds for himself...
