The Fang

A cabal of assassins who answer only to their master, Kellenved, more commonly known as Shadowthrone. The Fang are only spoken of by those who know of them in hushed tones, as spreading the knowledge of their existence is a risk few are willing to take. Many believe their leader to be supernatural in some way, and the rumors range from him being a demon, to the entire organization being spectral agents of Hood.
Many believe the Fang to be in some way affiliated with Rydia, and especially King Liander, seeing as how his rivals and harshest critics often seem to back off or disappear.
The Fang is believed to had a hand in the rise and fall of many kings and empires, and is credited for everything from the success of the Rydian revolt, to the fall of the Calian empire, although the organizations real history is shrouded in mystery.
