It was designed to straddle and stand atop the [[Tomb of the Great King]], a strong statement about the historical attitudes toward King [[Ahlsendar]] at that time. | ||

In | In 6970 DE, only a few years before abdicating the throne, King [[Kerath]] decreed that the Guild Hall should be expanded. The new structure was intended to symbolize the increased status of the Guilds as the governing body of the D'ni government, now that there would be no more kings.

In 2003, an interior wall in the Guild Hall collapsed on [[Phil Henderson]], a DRC restoration engineer and follower of [[Yeesha]]. He had been communing with the [[bahro]] in the Guild Hall despite being directly instructed to avoid the area for his own safety. After days of digging through rubble, the DRC declared Phil dead despite the absence of a body. This event was one of several that led the DRC to shut down all restoration efforts in early 2004. | ||
