<p>It's said that the guild base of the 8 Greed Kings is guarded by powerful beings which I'm assuming are NPC's. If Ainz gets the guild weapon, could he obtain the loyalty of those NPC's?</p>
<p>If destroying the guild weapon destroys the guild, what would happen to the NPC's? In Yggdrasil I'm assuming they'd disappear, but in the new world I'm assuming they'd just be without a master and free to do as they wished, right?</p>

In Overlord, if Ainz obtained the guild weapon of the 8 Greed Kings, would he be able to control the NPC's?

We (the community) are not sure if the "powerful beings" are actually NPC's.

You are correct about if the guild weapon is destroyed, it destroys the guild. At least that is what's in the LNs, but we never saw an example of this in Yggdrasil.
