Assassin

Back

Sarkada back alley

An assassin's skills and technique are dedicated to a single, infinitely complicated art: the execution of an enemy. While in some societies an assassin is an innately despised and hated criminal, in Permia they are a respectable military tradition that can be learned in universities as a tool of war, owing to the nomadic history of the peoples of the land and their raiding-wars. More than a mere murderer, assassins are honed weapons.
