Frost Abyss

This guild based in the coldest regions of Arkiynia. They have mastered the cold and turned it into a weapon to be used against their enemies. Viewers have described their powers as extraordinary sending those poor fools that stand in there way into the cold abyss of the grave. Their primary objective is the obtaining and preserving knowledge and relics of Arkiynia’s past and they will stop at nothing to gain what they knowledge or they relic they seek, even if it leads to utter chaos. Many unfortunate souls have walked unknowingly into a Frost Abyss controlled area, only to be killed and found mutilated near water sources.

### Relics, Treasure and Torture

Originally formed to seek out, preserve and research the relics and ancient treasures, the guild was small, a niche. But thieves grew to appreciate the guild, as they would take the much less valuable relics and sell them, usually for unbelievable profit. Numbers would bloom, and the hunters would never abandon this goal, even into the present day of Arkiynia. However, as the years passed, and the hunt became more treacherous due to other seekers, the Frost Abyss, under fresh leadership from La Volpe, adopted more brutal methods of intel-gathering, namely torturing seekers who contested them or disrespected the hunt. While effective, it did cause a ripple within the guild. So La Volpe sought to strengthen the guild, by weeding out the weaker members either with excommunication or execution, the method that would become a staple.

### Defense of Arkiynia and Quandary Continument

In the years prior to joining the Arkiynia Crew, La Volpe would revamp the guild. Training them like a military, the guild rose to new heights despite the tougher conditions. Magic was much more common, and while the hunt for relics continued, La Volpe would run the guild almost akin to a gang-militia, taking territories and starting fights.

After joining the Arkiynia Crew, and learning of the impending war, La Volpe would ramp up the training, almost abandoning the relic hunt entirely to focus the guild to defend Arkiynia, from the unknown threat among others. In public light, he declared the Depraved Shadows the primary target, as they had been causing the guild grief in the past and their activities hampered the hunt for relics in the first place. With an already seething hatred fueling them, the Frost Abyss trained.

As the war commenced, La Volpe came clean about the reason for the training; they would be a line of defense for Arkiynia, or an assault team if needed.

## Uniform and Requirements

### Uniform

Members are seen wearing various mask styles and a bandana on their arms, the bandana coloured light blue with silver accents. Members are also seen wearing light blue hooded vests with silver accents, sometimes black vests instead, and dark pants. Members often take liberties with their uniform, and while keeping in tradition, customising their uniform or modifying it to suit their preferred needs; many have been noted to remove the hood entirely, some opt to add light armour, and most commonly members will choose to wear the bandana instead on their head or as a mask.

### Requirements

The Frost Abyss are trained heavily like a military, and when danger presents itself, or an unlucky wanderer in their territory, their training presents itself. Highly trained in weaponry, and magic should they show the aptitude, the Frost Abyss enforce their laws with lethal integrity, murdering all who trespass and law-breakers unless ordered otherwise.

The Frost Abyss, similarly, must uphold their training to a standard befitting of a member. Punishment for failing to do so varies, however continued ineptitude usually results in either excommunication or execution.

To be initiated, an individual must have shown loyalty to Frost Abyss members and minor skill in either magic or combat to even be considered to join. After meeting with a Lieutenant, one of the highest ranked members, they will be assessed and tested. If they show promise, they will undergo training. Otherwise, they will be ejected.

## Rivalries

The Frost Abyss are well known for their rivalries with the Depraved Shadows and Raider Assassins, for a variety of reasons

### Raider Assassins

Despite the fact that Windy and La Volpe are staunch allies, the two guilds share a bitter hatred of each other. With similar ideals, the Raider Assassins regard the Frost Abyss as "false assassins" and "selfish fucks" due their beginning as a Thieves' Guild TBA
