A while ago Dutch Elite and Flemish Fury merged into Guardians. None of us was to happy about the name and emblem so after some debate and voting on a forum we came up with a new name and emblem and restarted the guild this sunday at 20:00 gmt.
The new name is Bokkerijders which sadly translates into english as Billy-goat Riders. We chose this name because we wanted something in Dutch with a link to both The Netherlands and Belgium.
The original Bokkerijders were 3 consecutive gangs of Robbers, bugglars and extorsionists from 1700 to 1800 in the Dutch/Belgium border territories.
They were said to be satan worshippers and were given the power to fly around on billy-goats. 100's of people were accused for being a member and confessed under torture and were hung.
Just one of the dutch/belgium myths that we thought would make a nice name
We will try to give the name some more honour and justice in midgard then it originally carries with it
