Sisters of the Veil

The Sisters of the Veil, also known as the Veiled Sisters or Veiled ones is a secretive organization that practices ritual assassinations. Like its name suggests, most if not all of its members are female.

The Phantom Assassins
The Veiled Sisters believe that assassination is a sacred part of the natural order. To achieve this, they select children with a method of divination to be trained and brought up to be Phantom Assassins. The children are raised with no identity of their own, except their devotion to the Veiled Sisters. Their targets are seemingly determined at random, through meditations and oracles which make no distinction the classes of man. Victims are regarded as sacrifices, and death at the hands of a Phantom Assassin is considered an honor.

Phantom Assassins wear a silken Phantom Veil over their faces, and are forbidden to speak their own name. Mortred is the one who has broken this rule. The number of total Phantom Assassins is unknown.

Martial Arts
The assassins of the Veiled Sisters are highly trained in the use of double-sided blades and scythes. The first skill learned by an apprentice is the art of throwing daggers, used to disable or distract a target before engaging. Assassins are taught to meditate, enhancing their abilities to anticipate incoming attacks. Through divine will, Phantom Assassins can deal decisive blows, often ending a mark's life in one stroke.
