Glomring Agent

When the ancient traditions of the Rhulic clans are insufficient, members of The Glomring (or "Ring") are sent in to complete the job. Forfeiting their allegiance to the clan of the birth, members of this shadowy organization are trained in the arts of assassination, infiltration, and sabotage. Most members have been cast out of their clans, either for crimes or great dishonor, but there are a few sadistic enough to choose this path on their own. Sometimes called Lurkers, members of The Ring are famous across Caen for a single reason: once a contract is agreed upon it is always executed.

Features

You gain either +1 Dexterity or +1 Charisma.

Contracted Agent: As a part of your connection with the Glomring, you may receive contracts and bounties from the guild. Most major cities have a secret guild hall containing local contracts, and if a town has one of these halls, you can always find it. You may also utilize communication spells (via your own abilities or through hired services) to reach out to a hall for jobs. Once you agree to the conditions of a contract, you are bound to it regardless of circumstances that may arise. Taking actions that contradict your missive may result in expulsion from The Ring.

Suggested Characteristics

Life in The Ring is well suited for those on the fringes of society. Ring members place immense importance on the weight of their word and once they make a pact, it is rarely, if ever broken. They are often seen as ruthless and cold by other Rhulfolk, who struggle to understand life outside of one's clan. Fellow members are treated as blood relatives and members will often take great risks for their comrades.
