Pemblish Guild of Assassins

The Assassins' Guild is an organisation shrouded in shadow and mystery, which has been active across the Centrelands for centuries. While their business is certainly not legal, their existence has typically been tolerated or ignored by most of society. Whenever an individual with legal authority takes an interest in their dealings, the Guild relies upon a combination of bribery, blackmail, coercion, and murder to keep their activities hidden.Unlike the other Guilds and Companies of Pem, the Guild of Assassins has no official charter, for obvious reasons. Despite this, at one time during the reign of the 'Mad King' Ulysses, the Guild was officially recognised as a legitimate trade association, on the basis that legalising it would enable them to regulate the guild. However instead, legalisation only resulted in rampant assassinations of aristocrats, guildmasters, clergy and foreign diplomats, ultimately culminating in the death of the King himself. As a result, the Guild were very quickly banned by his successor and driven underground again.
