Three Knives

Three Knives

Type	Assassin guild
Founded	c. 7th century
Origin	Clairnia
Hallmark	Three leaders, each called a “Knife”; deaths that look like accidents

The Three Knives is an ancient assassin guild that began operating around the seventh century in Clairnia. Its name comes from its three leaders, each of whom is known simply as a Knife.

Secret though it is, the guild is an important political player, taking an active hand in the intrigues of the noble courts. Its members work mainly for wealthy clients and specialise in “accidents” - killings arranged so cleanly that no suspicion of foul play ever arises. As a rule they do not work beyond Clairnia’s borders, but that custom began to change with the outbreak of the great War of Horrors and the realisation that events in the wider world reach deeply into Clairnia after all.
