Summary
Abington First was a guild, (unaffiliated with and not endorsed by the Government of the Realm of Abington), which yet sought to inspire and perpetuate a level of patriotism throughout the country.
Abington First! is also the name given to a newsletter published by the guild and authored by some of its members.
Guild Structure
The guild was structured rather simply, with three of the four member ranks differing not on face-seeking but only on titles held within Abington's peerage itself. The fourth being an honorary title for those whose enthusiasm for the goals of Abington and Abington First has earned them special distinction. The Founder and Second were to collaborate closely with the mundane workings of the guildhalls and publication.

Guildhouses
There are currently two guildhouses. The first is located in the County of Anchorinn, and the second is located in Wor'ight City.
History
Abington First began shortly after Gauihu's re-election as Arch Priest of Abington, which was shortly after a chain of controversies including the backstabbing by Charles, then the Duke of Wayburg, the banishment of Lady Docs Biatch for conspiracy to commit treason, and her subsequent slaying of Drago.
Gauihu founded the guild because he saw that mixed loyalties lead to these events: loyalties to a misguided sense of personal honour above Abington and loyalties to international guilds above Abington. It was his vision that Abington's troopleaders would see that it was Abington, above all, to which they owed their loyalty, their honour, their greatness.
The first guildhouse for Abington First, which he described as a "movement" more than a guild, was built in Anchorinn. The regions relative isolation from most of the realms activity lead to the guilds slow beginning.
The downfall of Abington First came when Darkwind, once a loyal member, burned down the last remaining guildhouse in his county of Anchorinn.
Abington First!
Abington First! is the newsletter associated with the Abington First movement.
