House Perantes

Motto: "Si inimicos, non sunt nobis."

Assassin's Guild in the Imperial Kingdom is an official Guild. Members of the Guild have a special hand signal, which is a fist bump into chest which then turns into thumb down. The Guild is official for a reason, they aren't a mere murderers as everyone would have thought from the name. Anybody who can afford it can contract the Guild to lay to rest somebody, as they say. Guild exists to avoid cycle of revenge among the people.

There exists a law, but if somebody manages to avoid the law, the victim's relative can create a contract against the person they think did it, instead of taking law into their own hands. Somebody could use their money to create a contract to try gaining political power and such. Members of the Guild can only kill if they are contracted to and are protected from the law if they succeed, anyone who kills without contract is a mere murderer, not an Assassin and all laws apply to him. Being caught as a murderer usually ends with execution.

Information who contracted the guild to lay to rest somebody is confidential to civilians, somebody from High Council could get the information after discussion with the Guildmaster. Person who was laid to rest has either on them or close to them a black raven feather as an Assassins' Guild signature for completing the contract.

Guild has it's own Assasins' school (pupils who attend are either orphans who were raised by the Guild or who couldn't afford different education) and when students graduate, they become a full fledged Assassins, gaining a signet ring for identification and on job must wear black.
