Description
[edit | edit source]The Daughters of Syrul are a Cult of women, led by the Mother - a shadowy and elusive figure, who are adept at trading secrets and assassinating their enemies ...all for control of Turtleback Cove and it's shipping port. We do not forget loyalty, nor do we forgive betrayal.
History
[edit | edit source]Little is known of when the Daughters of Syrul were formed but as of 576 CY, they are an active Cult boldly mingling with the locals, from lowly dockworkers to the wealthiest merchants, in Turtleback Cove. They trade in information, packaged in a swirling mix of lies and truth, to further their goals of control. When necessary, they can move with lethal grace, slipping through the night unseen and unforgiving, delivering a silent death to those who betray them.
Members
[edit | edit source]All members are women who have committed to Syrul and their leader, the Mother. They are trained in the art of lies and deceit, as well as blades and knives, in return for their commitment. The number of members is unknown, nor how far they've spread in the Lordship of the Isles.
