History
The Daggers were established in the years following the restablishment of the Ivory Order, seperating the religious followers from the extremists who took their beliefs around magic and divinity too far. The Daggers were originally established by those harmed by the Ivory Order as a way to ensure that those extremists were actually all killed, creating their own form of justice seeing that the governing factions of Erendoc either couldn't or wouldn't give it too them.
After the last member of the Ivory Order's extremeist followers was killed the Daggers found themselves with a large organisation, a fair amount of influcence in the criminal underworld, and no purpose. It was here that Ralli gave their leaders gifts of the divine, and offered the faction purpose and direction.
