Flame Assassin
Flame Assassins are members of The Flamedeath Fellowship
The strong arm of the society, Flame Assassins are given the duty of acting as spies and assassins for the Fellowship. Flame Assassins can perform some minor magic to aid in their duties but they are not entrusted with major arcana. Like their lesser compatriots, Disciples of the True Flame, they are occasionally given minor blessings and armor that protect them from fire magic, so the mages of the society can work their magic with impunity.
