-Shadow Sect of the Marakian Empire-
It is the most covert guild in the Marakian Empire, a large group of spies, assassins and mercenaries, all of who are trained extensively for several years before they get where they are. The Shadow Sects only accept the best of the best: the most sophisticated and clever of spies, the most professional and cunning of assassins and the most expert and fearless mercenaries. There are three sects; one for each profession mentioned and all are lead by a master in each sect. In the Spy Sect, the Master Spy heads all established and training spies. In the Assassin Sect, the Master Assassin heads all established and training assassins. The Mercenary Sect is lead by the Chief Mercenary. Each sect is a covert division that not even members of the other sects know who is involved.
Spies and Assassins are the most secretive of the three. The only people ever aware of the members of these two sects are those within each sect, those who lead them and members of the highest rank within the empire. Spies and assassins are never to speak of who they are and what they do, to anyone. They walk among others everyday disguised as denizens, guards, members of the priesthood and even slaves. In a place called ‘The Black Room’, which is an underground society only few know the whereabouts, people are ‘bred’ and raised from birth as spies and assassins for the Marakian Empire. Those who are taught as children have proven to be the most loyal, disciplined and professional spies and assassins there are. Eventually, all assassins and spies will have been bred in The Black Room and all others will have been weeded out.
Most spies and assassins are races who have the ability to shape-shift, mimic or create Grand Illusions. These abilities make their jobs much easier and usually enable them to carry out their duties flawlessly without ever giving away their true identities. The Mercenary Sect is not as secretive, but even it is quite the mystery. Mercenaries are not forbidden to let others be aware of their occupation, but all of them have learned over time how dangerous it is to disclose such information. Because of the risks, the Mercenary Sect more often than not, do whatever it takes to keep their identities veiled.
