Corporation of the Red Tear

A sanctioned, legal entity of Doltanbran, the Corporation of the Red Tear is an Assassins Guild. While their presence is known to exist in the cities, their efforts and methods are often kept secretive by most of their number. Initiates are issued a Red Tear "Patch" which they must wear and are given light contracts that come in, often paying little and giving mostly experience, as well as an indication of whether or not a new initiate has the skills required to make their way to a full Assassin rank. Once they achieve these ranks, the Assassins earn their tears - but these are not simply jewelry pieces. Each tear contains a powerful poison that threatens the death of the Assassin, and are consumed when a job goes horribly wrong and their only way out is death. Tears are highly sought after by the corporation - anyone found with one that is not an assassin, would be killed on sight for the tear to be recovered, and often Master Assassins are the ones to carry out this contract, despite its lack of value, as they are the ones trusted to retrieve the item from its captor. The Corporation makes its home in the Hive of Doltanbran, in a tall and dark Manor house with boarded up windows known as "Blackhouse".
