Introduction
The fighters guild is quite different from the Mages guild, in this guild there are only 3 quest givers in total.
You can find a fighters guild hall in each large city, except for the imperial city. Three branches are the ones you'll visit most often.
Chorrol, in which you can find both the master of the guild; Vilena Donton, and one of the main quest givers; champion of the guild Modryn Oreyn.
In Anvil you can receive quests from Azzan and in Cheydinhal you can receive them from Burg gro-Khash.
You'll spend your time in the guild travelling back and forth between Chorrol, and the two other cities. The quest line as I've written down is simply in the order in which I did them, often the quests between the Chorrol quests can be done in the order of your choosing.

Rats
Hehe, deja-vu? ;-) Nope, don't worry, this time you're not asked to kill some rats, this time you're asked to protect rats.
Speak to Azzan at the bottom of the Anvil Fighters guild and he'll mention a problem in Arvena Thelas's house. She's fond of the rats that live in her basement, but lately they've been dying.
Once in her basement you'll find a mountain lion attacking the rats. Kill it And speak to Thelas again, and then to the person she sends you to; Penarus Inventius. WHo can be found at his house.
Accompany him to the place outside of town and kill the mountain lions you find there.
Then return to Arvena and Speak to her again to find out there is another mountain lion in her basement. After killing it she'll mention there might be foul play involves and accuses a neighbor Quill-Weave and asks you to spy on her.
If you make sure to be in Arvena's backyard before 8p.m. and that you're not detectable, you'll be able to catch Quill-Weave in the act.
Afterwards confront Quill with what you saw, and she'll admit to being the cause of the mountain lions, though she never intended that. Then report your success first to Arvena and then to Azzan.

Azzan sends you to Norbert Lelles, the owner of a shop there in Anvil. You're hired to stop the thefts going on in there.
Enter through the backdoor and speak to Norbert and he'll explain this again.
Stay there over the night and you'll be confronted by three thieves, kill all three and report your success to Norbert who can now be found in the Flowing Bowl.
Then report your success to Azzan to finish the quest.

Desolate Mine
Speaking to Burz on the second floor of the guildhall will give you this quest. He'll ask you to deliver three weapons to some guild members and to help clear out a mine filled with goblins.
The mine can be found northwest of the city. Inside speak to the three members and give them their weapons, they'll ask for what they prefer to use. After they have their weapons you can accompany them in clearing out the mine.
Make sure they all survive to receive the highest reward for this. Speak to Burz again to receive a promotion to journeyman and finish the quest.

Unfinished Business
After travelling to Chorrol, first speak to the guild's master and then to Oreyn the champion.
You'll be sent to complete the task of another member of the guild. Travel to Skingrad, to the west weald inn, and speak to maglir there.
He'll explain the actual quest, travel to the Fallen rock cave, to the northwest of Skingrad and find the journal of Brenus Astis.
You're able to get through the rocks and such in that cave by using your weapon. Once you have it, report to Oreyn again and face the choice of either covering for Maglir and missing a fame bonus, or not doing so and getting both a reward and a fame bonus.

Drunk and Disorderly
Next oreyn sends you to Leyawiin, to make sure three members there cause no further trouble. Inside the Five Claws Lodge is where you can find them.
Once inside, the owner comes to you and again pleads with you to solve the problems there before they get started. Rather then fighting them, this time speaking to them is enough. They'll ask you for a job to keep them busy.
Your new task is to find Margarte, a lady who spends her afternoon to the west of the city. And at other times inside the city itself in her house.
Speak to her to receive a quest to get her 5 pieces of ectoplasm. Either kill ghosts for them or buy them from a store. Hand them to her and she'll agree to give the three unhappy guild members a job.
Speak to Prelius inside the five claws again and they'll be happy to finally have a job and agree to leave the lodge.
Report back to Oreyn in Chorrol to finish the quest.

Den of Thieves
Possibly the most annoying quest of the fighters guild. For one because it features the woodelf Maglir again, and second because you'll be forced to cover his back once again.
Speak to Azzan to get this quest, he'll mention some thieves have stolen an heirloom and you're forced to retreive it and kill the robbers.
Speak to the fighters guild members to get the name of one of the victims, Newheim the portly. Speak to him to get more info on both the thefts and the heirloom.
You're sent to the hrota cave, north of Anvil. While in the cave, make sure to both kill all the robbers in there and keep maglir alive, watch out for falling rocks as well.
The heirloom, Newheim's flagon, can be found in the last of the large rooms in the cave.
Once you've killed the robbers, retreived the flagon and kept Maglir alive, report back to Azzan to complete the quest.

Amelion
Speak to Burz in Cheydinhal and he'll send you off to Water's edge, which can be found on the lower Niben's west side.
Once there speak to Biene Amelion. In the end the object is to get 1000 gold, either by handing over that sum yourself, or by crawling through a dungeon. Personally, since whenever I have the money I prefer the lazy way to the intensive way ;-) I choose to donate the money myself. I went back one time on that quest though to see the other side, just so I could explain here.
The dungeon is the ancestral tomb of miss Amelion, she gives you the location to that which is to the south east of Waters edge. All the way inside, you'll find the long sword and cuirass of Amelion's father ontop of his grave.
Everything else you find in there is yours to keep. After handing Amelion the money she needs, report back to Burz to finish this quest and be promoted to protector.

The Master's Son
For the next quest, return to Chorrol and speak to Oreyn once again. He'll send you off to the nonwyll cavern in search of Galtus previa whose gone missing.
But don't be overjoyed just yet, this is yet again an escort mission only this time, rather then having to escorting an annoying Bosmer, you'll be escorting the son of the guildmaster herself.
Seek him out in his house in Chorrol, and explain the quest to him. Once he's clear on this travel together to the Nonwyll cavern. You can find this cave to the north of Chorrol. Be carefull, it's filled with creatures and you'll have to defend not just yourself, but Viranus (the son) as well as he's not exactly a born fighter to put it mildly.
In the deepest room in the cave you'll find the body of Galtus. Seeing the body is enough to be able to report back to Oreyn and finish the quest.

More Unfinished business
Yay, yet another encounter with Maglir. Oreyn sends you to him as it seems he's once again failed to go through with a quest he was sent on.
Find him in Bravil, in the lonely suitor lodge. Depending on wether or not you covered for him in the earlier quest, he'll either be kind or threathening. Either way, get the name of Aryarie from him or from Oreyn again.
Aryarie can be found at the mages guildhall, and asks you to get her 10 portions of imp gall, from the robber's glen cave, located to the northwest of the city.
Speak to her again to receive a small reward, and then off to Oreyn to finish the quest.

Another option is to fast travel to that location. Once there you'll see it totally empty. and Oreyn suggest paying the real hideout of Azani a visit together.

Information
Speak to Oreyn again at his house, and he'll wish to pursue the Blackwood company a bit more.
He sends you to the Glademist cave, east of Chorrol to capture Ajum Kajin. When you get there, make sure you kill everyone but Ajum and then speak to Ajum to get him to agree to follow you. Be carefull not to miss others as they will swarm you when you speak to Ajum.
There are seven gaurds btw. And after Ajum agrees to follow you, return to oreyn's house.
Once there, it's time to get the information from Ajum. Either raise his disposition to 90 to receive it, or beat him untill he does. Though make sure not to kill him. The topics for this are "100 members" and "Ri'Zakar". If you question him further, he'll commit suicide.
Speak to oreyn again and the quest is finished.

Infiltration
Next up, Oreyn asks you to infiltrate the Blackwood company and find out the last thing you need to know. Travel to Leyawiin, and find the fighters guild there. to the south of it is a building used by the company as HQ. Enter it and speak to Jeetum-Ze, he'll allow you to join and explain some things about the company.
They offer you some sap of a Hist tree, something usually only found in Argonia. Drink it to be transported to water's edge. Once there you'll have to follow the others, and come across some goblins, both inside and outside.
Kill them all and you'll once again be transported, though this time to Oreyn's house in Chorrol.
He'll send you back to water's edge to look around, once you get there, you'll find a number of bodies lying around at the same place as where you killed the goblins earlier.

Hist Tree
Next up; revenge! Speak to Oreyn to get the quest to finish off the HQ of the blackwood company and their Hist tree.
Travel back to Leyawiin and the company's HQ and kill everyone in sigh, including Jeetum-Ze, and the leader of the company, Ri'Zakar. Those two and the two argonian mages you find in the basement, are likely to be the toughest fights there so be prepared.
Down in that basement, you'll notice two pipes lying about, one on a table and the other on the floor, take them and use them to activate the two pumps in the room which destroys the Hist tree.
You're not done yet however, once back upstairs, you'll be confronted and attacked by maglir, the turncoat and will have a chance to kill him. He'll also accuse you of ruining his life and such, (Gaenor anyone? ;-) ) I advice you to take your time killing him ;-)

The End
Well, that's the end, you'll be promoted to Master after you speak to Vilena, and be advised to choose Oreyn as your second in command and that will be that.
You do however have some control left, mostly regarding your reward you have the choice of either recruiting more members, or getting more jobs. The first gives you more items as reward, the latter more gold.
Speak to Oreyn for this choice.
