Silent Sisters

Around the start of the year of 2827 or so, a group of Wood Elven assassins, which where all sisters by blood formed a special faction for females of their race only. They called themselves, the Silent Sisters, why they called themselves this is for later. The family name of the Silent Sisters is Ruarnis; the family name has been going for centuries and is still going strong by Talviah, one of the youngest members of the Silent Sisters. Their skills are renowned for being the masters of stealth, the arts of assassination and more. Their outfits consist of black camouflage capability armor, light and is makes the wearer have great movement. Their armor has night vision, thermal and x-ray vision for most missions they take on.

The way they rank their members is actually based on experience nothing more, though possibly including how well they do their duty and how much they know of it. Any young one can become a Commander if they complete enough trials and tasks, but this would take a few years of course, for it is up to Matriarch Serena to decide the who gets to go up in the Silent Sisters world. Their name stands for their audacity for not speaking much at all, many females that come from this family or join it, are sworn to keep quiet, if they do not the Matriarch cuts off their tongue as punishment and can do worse but not to hinder their skills, she needs to have them at their best after all, though without their tongue, they really are a Silent Sister for they can speak no longer.

As of 3470, there are currently 850+ members of the Silent Sisters, spread out through the universe of course, most are on their homeworld, Winterwood. The tasks are given to them directly from the nobles or even the queen on a very rare occasion as they are known for their tendency to make people. 'Disappear'. Other than their duty, their skills and which family clan they came from, nothing else is known about them, such as, how they are taught, where are they taught and what happens to the ones that manage to get as far as beneath the Matriarch herself.

Their training is over a course of around 50 years or so from such a young age of around 5 or 6, depends on the Silent Maiden really. The training for older younglings, when they reach 15 or so, is rather harsh and tough, but this helps them be cool under times of pressure and receiving orders than can seem almost impossible to accomplish. They undergo physical training for around 9 hours straight, learning how to use their weapons as they would their body, their actions are fluent as they learn more, able to be fast and deadly, smart and cunning, silent and always out of sight.

As they get older, their training gets even harsher, involving daily whipping if their tasks remain uncompleted on time or they fail to succeed in a current mission. Physical punishment is harsh but cannot kill the person receiving, why, rarely done if necessary not all the time, and that is rare.

They have six main 'appointed' ranks as is spoken below:

Matriarch, she is the highest and most important figure of the Silent Sisters, she calls the judgement with her own hand chosen council of five other Silent Maiden's. She is the one who leads the Silent Sisters, giving the tasks to the Commanders so they pass them down to the others.

Silent Maiden's, these women aid the choices and make the judgements with the Matriarch herself, they consult in a special chambered hall which is at the top of their usual hideout.

Commander's, these are the main in-field personnel which do things their way on any given task, no matter the location, no matter who or what it is on, they will do it and when they do, they have flawless results, why, their training is just the proof.

The Huntress', these women are the deadly assassins of the night, sent on special assassinations to remove nobles of disposable use. Once the noble has been tricked into doing what the Matriarch, has asked them to do, the noble is then visited by a Huntress and is killed quickly or slowly, depending on the deserving of what type of death, poison, blades to the heart, cut to the throat and so on.

Silent Sisters, these are the assassins of daylight, executing when they have to during the day. However, unlike the Huntress', Silent Sisters, have no restrictions on how long they can take and if they kill more than the designated target, giving them more free will but also more trouble which they alone have to deal with unless they have enough money to pay the Matriarch with to contribute.

Mistress', these women are the most deadly when it comes to getting close and personal. They use their stunning good looks to attract their targets and then kill them with what they have on them, which are one of 4 things, a sharkeya dagger, a poisoned blade, a thin but sharp pointed claw gauntlet or a seductive but deadly kiss.
