Crimson Guild

The Crimson Guild is a group of assassins in the Sanguine City who swear their loyalty to Nyx, the Silent Mother and follow the tenants of the guild: Breaking any of these tenants would result in a contract being crafted in the name of the offending member, so their fellow assassins would have to hunt them down or face the same punishment.
 * "Protect those who cannot protect themselves, the poor and vulnerable should come before the rich and powerful" - Contracts from peasants supercede those of nobles.
 * "Obey the Silent Mother and only follow her given commands" - Don't listen to anyone besides Nyx, the Silent Mother.
 * "Show no mercy, those who live can kill again, cut their thread before they cut yours." - Don't let any contracts live, there is a chance they could get revenge one day.
 * Children of innocence and people kind of heart are sacrosanct unless proven to have lost the good in them." - Do not kill any innocent civilians unless they pose a threat.

The Guild is only able to exist due to a conflict that occurred between Tyr, the Righteous and Pelor, the Allfather where Nyx, the Silent Mother was granted new powers to make up for the sun god's attempt to gain control of the Material Plane.

The Guild has been involved in some high profile assassinations including that of High King Ragnar, the brutal warlord who ruled over The Kingdom during the Noble Ages when the Silverblood Nobles provided weapons and access to Ustengrad to kill the High King and install King Hammerheart as king after they let him deal the final killing blows.
