__TOC__
== Summary ==
Origins of this nefarious organization are sketchy but it is widely recognized to be the oldest and most powerful underworld organization in Elanthia. Believed by some to be nothing more than idle rumor and folktale, tales of their ruthlessness and political manipulations for profit are legendary. Even amongst the skeptical, view dare to mention them publically for fear of attracting their attention.
Political assassination, murder, blackmail, kidnapping, and town razing are but a few of the allegations that have been attributed to this mysterious society. Coin is their only motivation and no job is too large for this dark society if rumor is, indeed, accurate.
== Rumored Beginnings ==
An excerpt from Morkin Simsinul ‘s treatise, “Shadow, Rumor and Society”
In the early days of the human Empire, Selantha Anodheles kept a personal crew of thugs and spies for secret missions too dirty for her regular guards, rumored oddly enough to be headed by one half of Nalfein lineage, called Yladrian. They aided Selantha in consolidating her power but gained much power themselves. However, the barons' opposition to Yladrian continued to grow fiercely almost as quickly as each new city was brought under the aegis of the Empire, and they tried hard to turn Selantha against this "Assemblage" with indifferent success until one smart advisor realized they didn't need to do this, they only needed to make the Assemblage BELIEVE that to be the case.
And so they bent their efforts. Fomenting rumor, building their own 'assemblage' to work for them in secret as well. It was near to becoming open war between them when, as the story has it, Yladrian came upon Selantha writing out a parchment while alone in her chambers. She hurriedly covered it and would not let him see it. Suddenly all the rumors took on a new meaning for him and he came to believe that the Empress truly had turned against him. He met with the rest of his crew and they vowed to teach Selantha a lesson. The lesson began with the burning of Andoval home village of Agnee, consort of Selantha's father Simlorn, to the ground, and from there the Assemblage vanished from all public view except in direst rumor whenever some new deed of terror or destruction was wrought. And since then, little has changed...

Unknown other than whispered talk of a contract accepted from the Maroon Order with the rumored coin exchange of one hundred million coins.
