I was trying to find any reference to the Azeyma's Shields but found nothing. Are the Brotherhood of the Broken Blade, Azeyma's Shields, and The Horn and Hand deleted from the lore?

I thought that they joined together to form the Adventurer's Guild by Lodewicus the Leal but this was in 1557 after Ala Mhigo fell, but we were playing in these Factions in 1.0 just before the Battle of Carteneau 1572.

There is no reference to these in the Encyclopedia Eorzea either, is there any info about what happen to the factions and their NPCs or this is retcon?
