"I can only imagine." He just nods, letting the topic drop as he rubs his eyes, looking tired. "How much do any of you know about Arcas? About the Nightblades in general...?" "I've certainly only ever heard of him today. As for the nightblades, we are a fraternity of assassins that specializes in taking out mages." "So no..." He seems annoyed, but not at the kids. He sits down, readjusting his cloak and rubbing his wrists. "Where to begin...the Nightblades was established centuries ago in the Drakarian Empire, a counterbalance to the rampant debauchery and corruption perpetrated by the Archons in the generations following Drakas' rule. Magic is the blood of Imperials and all they care about. We were different than normal assassins though - the draw of money did not matter to our original members. They sought only to establish what would be necessary to curb the abuse of the mage lords there - to better society through the elimination of corrupt parts. Much as how a surgeon carefully cuts away dead tissue. I digress, but they established five basic tenets to guide their actions. Please tell me you know those...?" |

"Kaia and Tychon told us those at least." (Virgil would list them off impeccably but I don't remember them so yea...) |

Virgil sits down and spends some time trying to sense the gem in Caerus' pocket for a while.

"But they mean little to some of you?" He says without really wanting an answer. "Anyways...the original blades took on apprentice and so on and so forth. Masters were recognized by the daggers they carried and also their cloaks. We became our name, relinquished our own and our ties to the world....supposedly." |
