Assistants

The Fool's Profession

Illustration Cover by Seth Engstrom (Witcher 3)

"Bloody, black Mutts. Always scraping here, loitering there. Looking like scum on the heel of a beggar's shoe. If I have my way, you Dogs would be licking the Horses' leather shoes, carrying every Lions' bricks and swords-heck, even playing maid to those goddamn Vulpes. Don't you pathetic lot have jobs- oh wait, my mistake. Those are your jobs. Now. Get. On. It!" - Leonis Enforcer, Independence Era, 9th Year

Career

Qualifications

To be an Assistant to the Black Patron was to be a scrap of wet parchment on the notice board of an unnamed tavern. Its a terrible fate to be born a mutt, from the outsider's perspective an Assistant's life is to work and help their fellow Patrons whatever the cost. As the times wear on, the cost became... too much to bear -Valt, Strygian Companion, Independence Era, 10th Year

The Life of A Humble Worker

Assistants of Canis are, by birth, to be thought in the sacred art of humility. Being born in the harsh, barren Midlands of Memoirs, they live in constant poverty and frequently required to the ask the aid of their fellow man to provide them with sustenance and protection from the external forces that may seek to harm their families. Thus, the term 'Assistants' is to be brought forth from the mouths of the people of Memoirs. Ranging from daily tasks of construction to trading to agriculture to mining, the people of Canis knows hard labour. The requirement of humility is compulsory for the humble dogs as with the power of Essence and the Canis' unfortunate circumstance of lacking any Essence, they are the subjects of magical strikes and Essence-infused punches and kicks if disobedience is ever highlighted from their work ethics. As a result, it is not uncommon to see a Canis walk with heads bowed and shoulder slumped, their faces plastered with fake smiles and famous black hair muddied. Bolstered by the Chronicled War, they are to be compared as pack mules, carrying necessities and Essence-infused weapons, being treated as slaves for their fellow men, for the promise of living another day, all for their black hair and lack of Essence.

"That is it!", exclaimed Ozwald, jumping with an apparent exuberance on his expression."Valtner of Scientia", Oswald pointed at his smaller brother-in-arms."We are going to be the first men in Memoirs to create-", he paused for dramatic effect. " A DELIVERY SERVICE", Ozwald yelled, his proclamation echoed the ruined remains of the Argentum Gallery as his best friend following his joy with a wide grin "...you know that's not my real name, right?"

A New Age, Comes New Horizons...

Following the end of the Chronicled War, the people of Canis were promised independence by the Leonis. The Lions hoped for an amalgamation of the two races, with the Leonis' Essence of Strength and raw power and the Canis' exuberant vitality and endurance, in their vision, they would unstoppable...that is until their shining capital of St. Leon turned into a freezing hellscape. The Leonis forces would pull back their home country, and the people of Canis were given in what would be a miracle that only the First would provide, freedom. Thus, the Assistants are to be left to their own devices, happy rebuilding their society in the Midlands now called Horizon, but as they say ' accidents more often happens near home', with the unstable emergence of Essence comes the mutated wildlife and abnormal catastrophes of sudden quakes and tropical rain. However, with destruction also comes creation, as Essence brought forth a new wave magic in the air, in the appearance of a mineral that once would absent in their lands, Quarkz. Thus, a new era of prosperity and... a higher appreciation for collateral insurance would begin.

A bygone age would gladly tell that an Assistant would provide much needed labour to all races with gratitude and basic compensation. However, with newly passed laws, regulations and a spite of gratitude, the Canis Interdisciplinary Association is here to provide transport of basic necessities your parcels, packages and other important goods. The humble delivery service was created in a time of turmoil where the simplest of goods was unavailable to procure. Therefore, with a joyous grin and heavy heart, the association was founded.
