The Alabaster Serpent

The Alabaster Serpent is a guild of assassins operating all over Nor. Potentially everyone can request their service, if they know how. The price for their services highly depends on the client.

Contacting the Guild

To contact the Serpent one has to perform a specific ritual. The potential client draws a intricate rune on a piece of paper or something similar, using their own blood. The document then gets burned in a fire, where the a bigger fire is beneficial.
How this ritual has to be performed is only know to a small number of people. But if one finds them self in a situation where they resort to this measure they can find a instructor in shady parts of most towns.
After the ritual is performed one has to wait. If everything is done correctly, after a few day a member of the guild will contact the client. How, where, and when this will happen his generally impossible to predict. The client will certainly be caught off guard.

The Price

The price for the Serpent's services depends on who the person is who request them. Many people think the guilds slogan "everyone has their price refers" to the target, but actually it addresses the client. Actually the Serpent is not really concerned with the identity of the target. The main focus lies on the client and their commitment to the plan.
The ensure the clients will to go thru with the contract, they are first observed by the guild. Dependent on the status and means of the client a individual price for the contract will be chosen. Once the client is contacted by the guild, this price will be offered. It can't be negotiated, only accepted or rejected.
