The 52 Shadows
The Fifty Shadows are an ancient cult of assassin's. They were fear almost anywhere in the world. Followers of Rilpo - The God of Thief, The Shadows were a deadly assassin guild and their way is totally opposite to one of The Black Snake. Their victim usually never see them coming, there is usually no witness. The only way to know a Shadows did the deed, was the card they left as signature.
The Fifty Shadows operate with four independent cells. Each having the suit of playing cards as their sigil. The heart, the clubs, the diamonds and the spades. Each cell or suit has two leaders, The King and Queen. They both share a lieutenant which is the Jack. The 10 is the Jack sergeant. 9 through 2 are the soldiers. The Ace of each cell is a separate entity. Usually a retired member that has returned as an autonomously regular member and advisor. Finally, not counted but surely never overlooked, the two jokers. Nothing in known of them except that, when a member is done sending their victim to Sia's cold dark embrace they leave a playing card of their rank at the scene. If you see a joker card it could be the last thing you ever see. The 52 shadows does not discriminate with its members, instead it embraces its diversity. From Vampires, liches, and worse to all races regular and exotic. All are invited if they show the proper devotion to Sia the Night Mother. 99 years ago, in the year 187 of the fourth Era, the guild was annihilated. The member were going thru an expansion and they were looking for the last land they had not a presence in. This place was The Isles of Moray. Their first, and only, contract in the Isles was a large one. They had to kill the 11th leader of The Isles of Moray, Queen Reveal the 1st. Since it was a difficult contract, all suit meet and worked together for this goal. Unfortunately, due to bad decision and infighting between the suits, they choose to depart from their way and decide to make the assassination public and gory. The plan worked beautifully and the queen was beheaded on stage while overlooking a jousting tournament. Little did they know that Queen Reveal the 1st was loved throughout the land. Quickly, a new leader was choosen and Queen Reveal the 2nd was crowned (her daughter). She called upon the Mountain Lord to exterminate the guild and they did just that. For the first time in their history, the Moutain Lord left the Great Gate of Moray and traveled the world to destroy any vestige of the Fifty two shadows. It took the Moutain Lord only 6 months and all members of the Shadows were dead, or so they thought…. In the Year 280 of the Fourth Era, the goddess Sia awaken and brought the guild back to life by reaching out to the four aces, The Immortal. Being in awe of Sia and seeing her true power, the Ace replaced the fanaticism of the old cult, by a fundamental devotion to Sia, the goddess of murder. As of now, all suits are filled and are working well. But, The Shadows have not dared to go back to The Isles. |
The Black Snakes
Largest assassination guild in the known world. Their method is a little unorthodox. When they get a contract, they hire common folks to kill the target, fully knowing this will be unsuccessful. But, they hire many, so the target get really nervous. As time goes by, they hire more skill people. The target gets so nervous that it become easy to kill him/her. The only paid is the person that kill. This system has two advantages, first it allows the small folks to show their capabilities and rise up in rank if they are successful. Second, it makes the target soft as time goes by, making it easy to assassinate them.
With good connection, a contract can be put on just about anyone in any cities. |
