Lodge of the Tawdry Blade

Leader: Kontu the Bloodless

The guard does not patrol Knife's Edge. The watch does not patrol Knife's Edge. The only actual law in Knife's Edge and Beggar's Walk is the Lodge of the Tawdry Blade. The Blades are a violent, ruthless, and merciless organization that takes as much as it can from the already beaten people of Knife's Edge. Many join out of desperation or out of a desire to spread violence and cruelty. To become a full member of the Blades, you have to commit a murder witnessed by a member in good standing. The Blades are fiercely territorial, and the only good thing that can be said of them is that they protect their territory aggressively.

Lately, the Blades have been running into a bit of trouble; their members are being found dead, and their safe houses are being destroyed. It is rumored that the Shrike has decided to put an end to the Blades once and for all. Many wait with bated breath for who will win this struggle between the Blades and the Birds of Prey.
