Order of Redactors
One of the oldest instruments of Vissian policy is the secretive organization of scholar-assassins known as the Order of Redactors, or more colloquially as the “Razors of God”. Descended from an ancient group of university masters dedicated to the excision of undesirable people from the world, the Razors have become decadent, divided between an idealistic faction that seeks to improve the world through targeted murder and a more pragmatic group that takes the contracts they are offered at the prices the market will bear. Razors generally operate within the boundaries of Vissio, though some can be coaxed out with sufficient gold or by an intriguing cause
criminal court: hired assassination and other violence
major actor: master assassin Orfeo Di Ressa; provides a guiding moral/idealology for the group
minor actor: well paid lawyer; handles the corupt officials
concequences of destruction: they provide vital finacial services and keep practical order on the streets.
defences: crew of elite assassins and stolen relics
there is a dispute over whether to kill a high ranking Noble of a city, Visso could fall to civil war if a city nobel fell, or they could be invaded.

Currency
Each member of the order is paid in small bone chips which can be used to pay for favours within the organization or converted to coin at the academy. Betting and other casino like gambling with such chips is common.
Legislative Body
The secret police of the Razors are known as Storm Clouds since they cast a shadow over everything. Most members proudly say their career has been sunny, implying they have avoided this specific subset of the order. Those who cannot say such things are often not heard from again.
