The Kargat is a dutiful agent of Azalin Rex. It is a largely clandistine organisation that is charged with being his eyes, ears, and fist. It is at once a spy agency and an assassins guild with limited public duties as a law enforcement agency. It acts inside and outside of Darkon. It targets Darkonians and foreigners.

Abroad a member of the Kargat may have some measure of fear of law enforcement agencies, but he or she has no respect for the law itself of that land. At home members of the Kargat are exempt from baronical law and are responsible for the enforcement of royal law. Baronical law is set locally by the 22 barons of Darkon. Royal law is set nationally by Azalin Rex and is enforced as he sees fit. In consequence a member of the Kargat answers only to his or her superiors and ultimately Azalin Rex. A member of the Kargat does not worry about having to justify the legality of his or her actions publically in a court of law. Rather he or she should worry about having to justify the wisdom of his or her actions in private to individuals concerned with both results and appearances. The Kargat is able to employ very unsavory types preciously because it is capable of putting them on very tight leashes.

The public face of the Kargat's enforcement of royal law are prisons, in a handful of towns, administered by the Kargat, to which offenders are dragged by the Kargat and from which the condemned are never released by the Kargat or anyone else. The unseen face of the Kargat's enforcement of royal law are disappearences in the dead of night.

The Kargat is a somewhat cellular and scattered organisation. It is doubtful that a complete list of its membership exists. It is divided geographicallly with a leader in Martira Bay, a leader in Karg, and a leader in
