Category:Assassins' Guild

An assassins' guild is an organisation that treats death as a commodity. It is in the business of providing murder as a purchasable service. Members are assassins' guildsmen and are led by an assassins' guildmaster. Assassins' guilds generally offer a professional service: their members are cold-blooded killers who are not supposed to let their emotions get the better of them. Assassins' guilds usually offer confidentiality. Assassins' guilds generally go to great lengths to be reliable. Consequently, assassins' guilds do not offer cut-throat pricing. Assassins' guilds are for clients who care about quality not price. In effect, assassins' guilds offer the service of individuals who deem themselves to be craftsmen. An indiscriminate mass slaugther is the work of mercenaries. A botched murder is the work of a drunken thug. An assassin and in particular an assassins' guildsman is neither. Assassin's guildsmen are professional murderers who may well be, although not necessarily are, members of the assassin class. Assassins' guilds are usually criminal organisations. They are usually monopolies, being perfectly willing to kill in the defense of their territory.

Assassins' guilds are known to exist in Barovia, Darkon, Port-a-Lucine, Falkovnia,
