Ranks

There are several ranks attainable for an assassin of the Guild. Rank is determined by skill and understanding of the Guild’s ways.

The highest ranking beast in the Guild is the Guild Master. The Guild Master is the leader of the Guild and the best assassin currently residing within its walls. This position is only available to the Immortal who can defeat the Guild Master in a one on one fight. The current Guild Master is Feran.

Below the Guild Master there are twelve Immortals. The Immortals vote on matters that concern the Guild, although the Guild Master has the final say in all matters. The term Immortal was coined by a band of vermin who suffered raids by the first twelve assassins the Guild trained. Right now only four of the twelve positions are open.

Beneath the Immortals are those who have mastered the ways of the Guild, the Master Assassins. Master Assassins handle tasks that need a skilled execution but are deemed below inconveniencing an Immortal. Master Assassins also take on a Fledgling to mentor and train them.

Assassins are those who have been elevated above the rank of Novice but have yet to truly master the deadly arts. They make up the majority of the Guild and are set a variety of tasks. Although they are below the rank of Master they are still greatly appreciated for their skills and versatility.

Novices are the second from lowest rank in the Guild. These beasts have been promoted from Fledglings but their skill level and dependability are still in some doubt. Despite being trained in its use Novices are denied the right to carry a punching dagger, only when they have proven themselves to be assassins will this honor be bestowed upon them.

Fledglings are a varied bunch. Drawn from the streets and brought to the Guild for the Guild Masters inspection their daily lives are a relentless routine of training, at the end of which the successful will execute those who weren’t up to par.
