[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5774673, member: 2710"] What do we know about existing spy networks in E'n? I know there's The Ears of the Whisperer, but are there any established non-evil networks? I'm beginning to mull on my third character. I'm still interested in a ninja, and I think I've figured out his place in the world. Essentially, part of a kind of benevolent secret society. Where most of the monk orders are pretty straightforward and in the open (as Lawful alignments will tend to be), a ninja order might view ki as a primal force meant to influence the rigid structures of the world from the shadows. Spies and saboteurs when need be, but often merely collecting knowledge and giving folks nudges in the direction they feel benefits the world most. Wanted to see if there was anything like that already established to graft my concept onto before I started pondering inventing something new. Right now if I go 'new group,' I'm thinking about something from Rhat'matanis, where the rigid caste system would probably mean altruists who don't appreciate the rigors of caste and / or want to make sure the upper castes don't forget the lower ones, would need to work in secret?
