The Society of Assassins is a clandesdine organization with no known base of operations. Their history dates back to the edge of antiquity, but very little is known.

History

The Society's roots run deep.

Early Iterations

The Society of Assassins began as the Order of Wizard Breakers in the earliest days of the Mage Wars, the First Chaotic Period. Many of the original members, including the founder, were at High Tower.

Throughout the First Chaotic Period, the Wizard Breakers worked as a vigilante force, trying to free others from opression by magic users. They were high-minded and idealistic, but ideals do not fill one's belly.

By the dawn of the Dynastic Period, the Order had shifted it's focus from altruistic intents to assembly-line murder. They were considered the finest assassins the verse over, able to inhume any foe. Rumors of cult-like rituals and gross human-rights violation within the order persisted, but were usually quelled. There was no problem the order could not solve by killing enough people.

Fall of the Order

By the end of the Dynastic Period, the Order of Wizard Breakers had vanished, leaving behind only a controversial legacy and their Mobiru weapons and armor.

Throught the Second Chaotic Period and the Golden Age, there was no sign of the Order, and they were believed to be extinct.

Rise of the Society

Early in the Second Age, whispers of a secret society of assassins, who seld death at a reasonable price to anyone who would buy it, began to surface. They were finally revealed in a sting operation set up by the Assassin's Guild, which confirmed that there was a large, secret, underground network of unlicensed assassins.

Links between Old and New

The link between the Society of Assassins and the Order of Wizard Breakers was not initially clear. the Society used primarily magic in their trade, and they had a number of techniques and spells once thought only to belong to the Order. These techniques were long believed to be lost, their existence in the hands of the Society was taken as broof that some link existed between the Society and the Order.
