The Stop
They are dead, extinct... if you see the mark of the stop then flee, flee for what you are worth.An ancient group of utilitarian murderers and assassin's who are seen as an evil cult now for a string of assassinations against individuals they saw as dangerous for Kaechaek as a society. Famous for their ruthless and mindless assassin's only rivalled by the strongest assassins of The Woven Providence for zealotry and blade-work. The Stop can be recognised for the symbol of a lantern on their backs due to their connection with the duskmother. The Stop completed most of their work in Kaechaek and were exceptionally successful as a result of this, killing only those they believe to be necessities in their minds. However, when the Stop began killing individuals across all of Namarie, the nations came together to kill the cultist assassins and the group were burnt to the ground. Though, when an assassin with the mark of the Stop tattooed upon their palms was thwarted in an attempt on the life of Emperor Honour there has been fresh fear of the groups return to the nation of Kaechaek.
- A bards tale on the Stop.
Structure
There is precious little known about the Stop due to it's ancient background and the zealotry of it's followers who will choose death over answers... so strange is the background of the Stop that even spells like Legend Lore seem to glean no information about them apart from their motto.
Culture
The Stop have a culture of a worldwide paradise. A space in which death is used to shape a world into something perfect and the Stop envision themselves as the understanders and enacters of that will.
Notably, the stop were the ones that killed one of Emperor Honour's political opponents when he first wished to become emperor and so it is seen as strange that they would now attempt to take the emperor's life... though many fanatics believe this is a sign emperor Honour is no longer fit to rule.
