Little is known about this elusive assassin's guild - though most know it exists, and that you can gain their attention for contracts... for a price... But no one knows who they are, or what they look like. It is common knowledge, that this secretive group is comprised of solely women. This faction is taboo, and one can deemed treasonous if caught inquiring of this elite group of females, resulting in Banishment.
A contract can only be set to proposal only during the operation of the Black Market, and only in three locations across the city, for the items required can only appear during those times. The lanterns, when lit, are blue, with one pane cracked in the shops where one can acquire the blades...
One inquires purchase of a dagger... And there are three daggers in each location. The daggers are ornate in quality, beautiful and expensive; the blade is forged from a coloured gem, and the grips are made of ebony with mithril inlay. Set into the pommel of each blade is a sapphire, flawless in cut.
Diamond Dagger: 2,000gpv. The Diamond Dagger is purchased if you are wishing to have a person of common wealth slain. (IE: shop workers, tavern severs, barkeeps, foot soldiers)
Topaz Dagger: 5,000gpv. For targeted middle class member. (IE: Lesser merchants, tavern owners)
Ruby Dagger: 10,000gpv. High Class citizens. (Nobles, Wealthy Merchants)
Emerald Dagger: 20,000gpv. Irreplaceable people.(IE: faction leaders, emissaries, group leaders.)
But what happens once you purchase one of the daggers? A ritual must be performed. Most choose secretive places to conduct such things. The following words must be spoken as one cuts the palm of their hand to bind the contract in blood.
"I, [Insert name], am a man/woman that seeks a dark path this nigh. I search to conquer my enemies, to see the blood of my enemy spilt in the darkest depths of silence. I evoke the Contract of Eternity, for the blood of my foe is blue without breath. Forever dead, I wish them. I blind the Blood of [insert victim] with the Blood of Mine. The Eternal Sapphire, hear my prayer for his/her death, my prayer for a sapphire's blood..."
