Assassin's Guild
The guild of assassins of Darujhistan, nearly as old as the city and long paid by its nobility to remove rivals.
The Assassins' Guild of Darujhistan is very nearly as old as the city itself. The nobility of the last free city of Genabackis has paid it for generations to remove rivals and perceived threats, which makes it less an underworld than a standing feature of civic business.
The Guild works in clans under clan leaders, with a rank called Roamers among its members and a Guild master above all of them whose identity stays closely held. When the clans come under threat, the Guild master can recall them all to the city. Its members drink where everyone else drinks, the Phoenix Inn among other places.
