Structure
The leader of The Guild holds the title Lord Darkblade. This person has 3 to 4 lieutenants who help him/her to run the SO. Together, they make the decisions on what needs to be done, where funds need to go, distribution of assests and assassins, and such. The lieutenants also pass orders down the line and are the ones who mainly talk with the other bases around Caelum Prime.
Assets
They have bases in almost every major city around Caelum Prime. These bases can sometimes take up a whole district, such as in Kursk.
They have weapons (daggers, swords, bombs, etc.), access to poisons (or know how to make them), informants, as well as Gold and Silver.
History
The Shadowsong Order traces its origins back centuries, emerging from the shadows of history as a clandestine organization shrouded in secrecy and intrigue. Founded by a group of skilled assassins and covert operatives with ties to Gloombringers, SO was initially formed to serve the interests of powerful nobles and shadowy figures, carrying out covert missions and eliminating rivals with ruthless efficiency.
Over the centuries, So grew in strength and influence, expanding its network of agents and operatives across continents. Under the leadership of a succession of enigmatic and ruthless leaders, the Guild became synonymous with fear and death, its name whispered in hushed tones among those who knew of its existence.
In modern times, SO found itself under the leadership of Arisu Kenta, a cunning and ambitious mastermind who sought to elevate the organization to new heights of power and influence. Kenta, a formidable strategist and tactician, recognized the potential of modern technology and globalization to further the Order's agenda, leading the organization into a new era of darkness and terror.
One of the most infamous events in the history of the Shadowsong Order was the devastating attack on the skyscraper known as Celestial Song, located in the bustling metropolis of Serna. Codenamed The Nightfall Massacre, this meticulously planned and ruthlessly executed assault sent shockwaves rippling through the city and beyond, leaving behind a trail of destruction and death.
Led by Arisu Kenta herself, a team of elite operatives infiltrated the Celestial Song under the cover of darkness, bypassing security measures with ease and striking with swift and deadly precision. Explosives rigged throughout the building detonated in coordinated blasts, reducing the once-proud structure to a smoldering ruin and claiming the lives of hundreds in the process.
The Nightfall Massacre marked a turning point in the history of the Shadowsong Order, thrusting the organization into the spotlight and drawing the attention of governments and law enforcement agencies worldwide. As investigations into the attack unfolded, evidence linking the Order to the atrocity began to surface, exposing the depths of their depravity and cementing their reputation as a terrorist group.
Despite facing increased scrutiny and opposition from authorities, the Shadowsong Order remains a shadowy and elusive force, lurking in the shadows and plotting their next move with cold and calculating precision. Under the leadership of Arisu Kenta, the Order continues to sow chaos and destruction, guided by their insatiable thirst for power and control.
Disbandment
SO was able to keep functioning for 20 years after World War 4 because The Guild had assassin bases established in most major cities around the world. These bases (for the most part) had assassins who continued the mission inside the borders they were trapped in. But over time, the lack of incoming funds from the main base in Kursk, the crack down in each kingdom/country over SO's activities, deaths and/or imprisonments of members caused The Guild to crumble.
