This was the name of the largest prison ever constructed, high atop a dormant volcano fifty leagues from the Coast of Thorns. This obsidian monstrosity was guarded by magics and men on its walls and ground, made for the express purpose of removing the greatest of miscreants from society.To keep those imprisoned from forming resistance, Emporer Gregoria VII, in his infinate wisdom, ruled that every man or woman who would be sent to the Dark Cloud was to have their tongue removed. Unable to communicate, and obviously uneducated, these heathens would have no recourse but to except their fate.As we know, nature has it's way.The Dark Cloud held its walls for hundreds of years. Far longer than even Janston Gregoria IX lived. Justice was not always delivered fairly, and the silence within the walls seemed louder than if it were screams as the years went by. The people of Dark Cloud had lain dormant, training and waiting for their chance to escape.One fateful afternoon, the supply ship from Daltain made dock to an empty outpost. The lamps still burned, and human shapes could be seen on the battlements making rounds. Unconcerned, the captain docked and began to unload in the final hour of daylight. Before the moon rose, every man from the supply ship was killed without a whisper given.The fall of the Kingdom of Thrite is known in history books with the coming of the Quiet Warriors and their banner of grey on a field of green. As if ghosts, they advanced, struck, and moved on. Revenge was on many minds, but in the end, this thirst was not satiated by the fall of the empire and those who had condemned them and their families. Now they simply wander the world, fighting for true justice, striking down tyrants, and freeing the wrongfully imprisoned. They still operate from the Dark Cloud, reportedly.The Quiet WarriorsNumber - 1,000+, roaming in packs of 2-40, with no more than 10 packs out at any given time.God - Any god of Justice or Freedom that suitsAlign - LN, LG, or CGAny class available. All casters must have the meta-magic feat of Quiet Cast. Some use telepathic contact extensively, as well as adapted hand languages.All members are sworn to silence and most have their tongues removed as a reminder of the sacrifice of their forefathers.(This could work as just a group or a Prestige Class, but probably easier as the latter when you add special abilities like +10 to move silently through training, etc.I think I will write up a prestige class for that once I'm not at work and in front of my books. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I'll edit the post if I come up with something good.)Next: The Azure Fist</blockquote>
