Red Legion

The Red Legion is a small group of assassins that operate within Terragard in secret. No one knows exactly when they started or how, but the Legion assassins are very elite killers, employing methods of murder made to look like accidents. If anyone with more than just a couple enemies ever dies in an accident - people always say it was the Red Legion.

They also employ more traditional means of assassination - poison, throat slitting, strangling, thrown and fired weapons such as daggers and arrows or bolts. They rarely use magic to kill, but there are some suspected Legion activities that resulted in death by magical means, including exploding runes and magical traps of the like.

The Red Leigon has a wide network of spies in their employ, and if you ever spot a symbol depicting three raised red fists, you should first leave quickly, if the legion will allow you to keep your life, you should forget you ever saw anything. The legion is not above killing to keep its secrets, even killing their own members.

Joining the legion is no small task, getting the legion's attention is easy enough if you know the right people, the right palms to grease, or being owed the right favors. Then you must prove your worth as an assassin, and assassinate a target without anyone knowing of your involvement, only then will you even be considered.

The legion has safehouses in every major city, including in elven and dwarven cities. They know where to hole up if the heat is on, and they know when the local powers that be are distracted, and often take full advantage.
