The Conservatory
Tier: II, Strong Hold
The Conservatory is an assassin's guild in Awarth, treating death as high art. Each kill, or "Presentation," is an intricate performance, blending theatricality, industrial symbolism, and haunting supernatural elements. Their work critiques the human condition and mirrors the city’s decay, using Gree-infused tools, brine-drenched rituals, and the grim reality of existence.
Operating from the Sable Hall, a crumbling underground theater beneath Ashrow, the guild’s hierarchy—led by the inscrutable Conductor—resembles an artistic academy. Apprentices learn to craft death into art, while Maestros perfect their styles, creating chilling spectacles that leave corpses as morbid masterpieces.
