In Hiro Mashima's "FAIRY TAIL," the main character Natsu and his friends fight various battles and develop strong bonds with their companions. They all belong to some kind of guild, but what kind of guilds exist in the story? We will take a look at the main wizard guilds, including details about each guild and the people who belong to them.

The word "guild" that appears frequently in "FAIRY TAIL" is, in simple terms, like a union. Each guild has a designated crest, which members wear on their bodies or clothes to show that they are members. They are not fighting each other, and even non-members can freely enter and exit the building. Also, there are many different types of guilds, such as mercenary guilds, but in the story, guilds generally refer to magician's guilds.

The first wizard guild we will introduce is "Fairy Tail", one of the main guilds in "FAIRY TAIL". The guild is home to four dragon slayer wizards, including the protagonists Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia. It also has S-class wizards such as Erza Scarlet and Gildarts Clive, and is recognized by everyone as the strongest guild in the Kingdom of Fiore.

In the story, Makarov Dreyar, who serves as the guild master, is depicted as treating the members of the guild like his own children. The members also adore Makarov like a father, and Fairy Tail lives as one family, with the most cohesive atmosphere of all the guilds. On the other hand, they are feared as a guild that should not be made into an enemy, as the entire guild will come out to attack if their members notice them.

Fairy Tail is recognized as the strongest guild, but it is also true that the Council has its eye on them because of Natsu's destruction of property and various incidents. However, in Magnolia, where they live, people are aware of their true nature and turn a blind eye to them. The annual Fantasia in Magnolia has become a seasonal event. The grand parade, which is mainly led by Fairy Tail, attracts large crowds from other towns, proving that the guild is loved by many.

There is an important secret about "Fairy Tail" that is only known to the past masters, and that secret is "Lumen Histoire" located deep underground in the building. Its true identity is the "Fairy Heart," a hidden magic that ranks among the three great fairy magics and boasts magical power that never runs out. In the second half of the story, forces that aim to obtain the "Fairy Heart" appear, and the story unfolds as they clash with "Fairy Tail."

The members of the guild, "Blue Pegasus," are made up of handsome men and beautiful women, chosen by the master, Bob. Many wizards are featured in Weekly Sorcerer, but he has a different aesthetic sense than the others, such as praising Ichiya and Nichiya as handsome men. Also, near the guild there is a hot spring called "Tenma no Sato", which is used as a place of relaxation.

In the battle against the Oracion Seis over Nirvana, the members of the "Blue Pegasus" are also helping, and they are able to defeat their opponents one after another. Among them, Hibiki Lates gave Lucy knowledge of the super magic "Urano Metria", and Ichiya also used a special parfum to strengthen his body, destroying Nirvana's power source with his bare hands. Ichiya has a sloppy side, as seen when he was captured by the enemy, but it is true that Erza thinks he is a highly skilled magician.

Ichiyo succeeds in producing a new perfume, but at the same time, he causes an incident that terrorizes the town of Magnolia. Anyone who smells the parfum that has flowed down from the sewers will have a dark complexion like Ichiyo's, and simply smelling someone else will cause the same symptoms to spread. Soon, everyone in Magnolia is turning Ichiyo's face, but spraying deodorant on the people they inhabit returns them to normal, and the incident is somehow resolved.
Major Wizard Guild 3: Lamia Scale

"Lamia Scale" is a guild that is as highly regarded as "Fairy Tail" and "Blue Pegasus", and its master is Oba Babasama. They are based in the town of Margaret, and like the Fantasia event held by Fairy Tail, they hold a "Thanksgiving Festival" to increase unity between the guild and the town. The magicians who belong to the guild are highly skilled, and they are trusted by the guild, as seen in the fact that they participated in the battle for Nirvana as an alliance.

Many of the members of "Snake Princess Scales" are talented wizards, and Jura of Rock and Iron is the most talented of them all. He is one of the Ten Great Wizard Saints, and has risen from the bottom of the hierarchy to fifth place. Also on the roster is Gray Fullbuster's senior apprentice Leon, and the Sky Slayer Mage Shelia, making the roster comparable to Fairy Tail.

After the battle with the Gate of the Underworld, Makarov issues an order to disband the guild, and Wendy takes refuge in the Snake Princess' Scales, where her friend Shelia is a member. There, they took on an idol-like position as the "Sky Sisters," and became a force that energized the town of Margaret. As a guild that follows "Fairy Tail," it could be said that it is a guild with many members who are both rivals and friends.

The Phantom Lord, led by Josee, is comparable to Fairy Tail, the strongest guild in Fiore. There is an "Element 4" that is equivalent to S-class wizards, and Juvia is one of them, who can use water-element magic. They also have Gajeel, an iron dragon slayer, on their roster, and they also possess a number of powerful magical weapons, making them a fighting force that is not inferior to Fairy Tail.

After Tenrou Island disappeared, the guild that expanded its influence in the city of Magnolia was the Twilight Ogre. It appears that Banabosta, who serves as the master, makes a living from the financial business, mainly lending money to guilds and merchants, which are then repaid with interest. However, there are no magicians with outstanding abilities among the members, and when they return to the Tenrou Group, they are depicted as submitting to Makarov, Erza, and Mirajane.

They are the strongest guild in the Kingdom of Fiore in both name and reality, and guilds such as "Snake Princess Scales" and "Blue Pegasus" are also fired up to defeat "Sword Bite Tiger".
