The Shadow

The Shadow is a former guild that specialized in stealth missions. They were considered the premier "spy guild." There had always been rumors that they also did assassination jobs, which is against guild laws, but no one could prove it until they ran across the Foul Company. After attempting to assassinate the Foul Company's matron, the Company took a personal vendetta on bringing them down. During the prolonged campaign evidence of the guild's assassinations came to light and they were disbanded by a group of four Amiss councilors.

Later, a group of former Shadow members led by a former spy, Horatio, attempted to get revenge on those responsible for disbanding them. They captured the leader of the Foul Company, Rufus, by drugging his food and intended to extort money out his guild for his safe return. Horatio had three of the councilors who had disbanded them killed and captured the fourth, Junuis, whom he considered the most malleable. He planned to use Junius to file a repeal on the order that disbanded the Shadow, something that Junius would have sole power over with the other councilors dead. Unfortunately for Horatio, the members of the Iron Heroes were captured alongside Junius. With Rufus's help they escaped thier cell, defeated Horatio, and freed Junius. The incident proved to the Peacekeepers that the Shadow was still in operation and put them on a wanted list.

It is unknown where the remaining members of the Shadow are, but it assumed that they are still operating.
