@Elandra   I figured that of course, that we have our own personal assassins that we use in our own clan conflicts of which your character, I assume, would be amongst our most elite.<br/><br/>Okay, so we hire out our assassins out for money (or favors, I assume) and they are assumed to belong to those houses for the purposes of the Kanly?  That's how we try to grow in power amongst the houses.<br/><br/>I like the idea that when our assassins take a job, they make some kind of oath like:<br/><br/>"I have been killed.  My blade belongs to House [insert here].  My finger belongs to [insert here].  My heart belongs to [insert here.  From now Until [Insert here] has died along with me, I am dead.  When they are dead, I will be reborn of House Dorcha to be killed anew."<br/><br/>In this way, we can keep our house free of blood feuds and assures our clients that they can't be hired from out under their noses.<br/>
