The Oracles

'Morals are a fickle thing. They hold us back from our goals. If we don’t proceed to greater things, we will be grounded, like a fallen Aasimar, with our broken wings. Never let your methods be questioned for such.'- Lorelei Belphane to Edward Darrion
The Oracles (Limba Vrei: Szadą Kéje, lit. 'future seers') were a shadowy organisation from the Danderillon, who were active during the mid 1500s. Not much was known about them, and very few people had even heard of them. They often did shady jobs like murders and sabotages. Their logo was an eye.
In the late 1550s they assassinated Jarl Erik Brimchin of Kol Darim after he witnessed them carrying out the murder of an illustrious Darim silk trader.
The high elf Morgan Belphane was born to Garrik and Lorelei Belphane, both high elves and high-ranking members of the Oracles, but he was slowly turned into a war machine, a shadow-elf, by their experiments and testing. He was the 6th experiment, and all before him had failed testing, dying or being put down by the ruthless scientists. The project involved the Blackheart Elixir which strengthened the body but numbed the target's wits, turning them into a killing machine. 
Their sign of identification was a tattooed eye on the left hand's palm, plus sometimes the letters S-Z-A-D-Ą on the knuckles or fingers. This was a fairly foolproof way of detecting them.

In winter 1560, they then killed Eothain Blackstone in the streets of Waterdeep in a grisly manner, hanging him up between posts. They then killed Perennial Althier not long after, chaining her to a desk. Soon after, they took control of the city via the granting of emergency powers, just as the Betrayal at the Sandbar Sea unfolded. The Oracles controlled the city for some months, but were ousted and crushed during the Lakayan invasion in 1561. They were all but disappeared.
