Order of Shadows

History
Little to nothing is known of the origin of the Order, but from the little information gathers over the years some thing can be put together. The original founders appear to be a group of monks who went about recruiting people from the lower orders, even the underbelly of society, and training them. Little tolerance was given to people who truly enjoyed and loved violence, but rumors say the monks had uncovered a threat to the world that required more subtle means to combat than amassing large armies.

It is said that no distinction was made between men and women during training, and that everyone who agreed to the training was required to take magically binding oaths to fulfill their service to the order. This seems strange because as the gathered information shows, members of the group were given great autonomy in furthering the cause, even to the point where no punishment was given for interfering in the work of other members of the group. Killing another order member was strictly forbidden however.

Reports and even rumors of the order appear to have disappeared along with the end of the Age of Madness, and after 100 years of silence, most consider the stories to be more akin to myths than fact.
