Guild Back Story:
The story of this guild starts in a settlement in Solstheim called Skaal Village in 1E 184. Bernhof Folsach, a legendary warrior and hunter lived there with his sons and wife. The village was constantly under attack from werewolves, Bernhof feared for his family so gathered a group of the villages best hunters to kill some of the werewolves and thin them out. Bernhof lead the group to a near by lake called Lake Fjalding (were werewolves are seen regularly) late at night. Bernhof raged in followed closely by the other hunters, he had underestimated how many werewolves were there and the group was overwhelmed. The alpha male of the werewolves approached Bernhof snarling, his razor sharp teeth shone in the light of the moon. Bernhof tried to fight the alpha male but he stood no chance so he ran and escaped.
Bernhof had been bitten by the alpha male when he tried to fight, and was turning into a werewolf himself. Bernhof, now more angry than ever gathered every able bodied man in Skaal Village and headed to the top of Solstheim's mountains were the werewolves had retreated to. Bernhof's followers fought the other werewolves while Bernhof fought the alpha male that had bitten him weeks before. They had a huge duel on the mountain that lasted a longtime, they were so evenly matched now that Bernhof had the power of the werewolf. Eventually the alpha male was weakened so much he could barely move, then Bernhof took the final blow and in one clean sweep of his sword he decapitated the werewolf and ended it. Bernhof gathered the rest of his followers and proposed to form a guild called The Blood Hunters and the guild was forged. The head of the werewolf was mounted in the guild stronghold to remind them what they can achieve.
The guild started small with only the few followers that survived the battle in the mountains, but grew because Bernhof sent the highest ranked members of the guild to different provinces of Tamriel to forge sanctuaries and build up the guild. The second province the guild reached was Cyrodiil. Bernhof Folsach's son Gunder Folsach helped to end the battle of Ceyatatar in 1E 242 by aiding Pelinal Whitestrake and the Imperial forces to defeated the forces of Ceyatatar. After this war the guild grew in numbers quickly and we continued to help with the Alessian Slave Rebellion and the wars that followed.
The guilds success continued and we aided in another battle in 1E 369, the Battle atop Mount Anthor. Skyrim needed a new High King to succeed King Borgas but the Jarls were divided over this decision and could not defeat Numinex (a Dragon) who was ravaging their holds. Olaf One-Eye, Jarl of Whiterun, took a few of his most trusted warriors to the top of Mount Anthor, to defeat Numinex, Olaf One-Eye also called upon the help of The Blood Hunters. We fought for days until eventually Numinex collapsed from injury and exhaustion.
About 73 years after we had defeated Numinex atop Mount Anthor the guild was challenged by another guild called "The Lost Shadows" in Black Marsh. The Lost Shadows were strong, their numbers in the thousands but we were unfazed by this and the battle began. The Battle of Black Marsh was huge and lasted for months but The Blood Hunters crushed The Lost Shadows defenses and broke through into their main stronghold. Christof Godrel (the Guild Master at the time) killed the leader of The Lost Shadows and ended the battle.
After all of the guilds history we decided to take a more peaceful approach. For a long time we were forgotten, but not gone. The guild was hiding in it's sanctuary's waiting for the time when we are needed, that time is now. Tamriel is threatened by a huge enemy, it falls to ruin, so we rise from hiding, out of our sanctuary's to fight to protect this land. We fight with the Daggerfall Covenant because they want peace and will restore the empire to its former glory which is all we want. We welcome any who fight with the DC, Bretons, Redguards and Orcs. Raise your weapon and fight along side your brothers to crush everything in our paths. Together, we will be an unstoppable force.
Will you stand and fight at my side to restore this land to its former glory.

Ranking system:
When new members join the guild they are given the rank of Pup, they are then asked to select which one of the lower ranks will suit them best. The lower ranks are The Hunters, The Caretakers and The Scouts. The Omega rank is for members how have been lowered in rank or accepted back into the guild after wrong actions and The Pup rank is for new members (as mentioned above).
The higher ranks of the guild are limited for the best members. These ranks have very important roles in the guild and need members who will always be there.
When you join and chose one of the lower ranks you will be able to prove yourself as one of the best members by staying active and contributing. This is the way to get one of the higher ranks.
When the game comes out the ranks will move around a lot for multiple reasons like your level, quest progress etc.
