Shadowcaster Diplomatic Relations

[Admin]

Diplomatic Relations - The diplomatic system is also rather interesting. While the empress is head of diplomates, that doesn't stop them from doing their uncanny things. The diplomatic positions held a great deal of power. Since Shadowcaster worked under the idea of " writen ledgers " to interact with other kingdoms. It was the diplomates duty to make ensure this was carried out. While the corrupt would tamper with the writings to bring about the down fall of Shadowcaster, or to forge themselves a powerful ally. The just on the other hand would more than likely follow their leaders ideas. The rankings for these are as follows.

Lin'jenra - The empresses held position. Herself gives the final over see to any alliance or war along with the concuil. While never really needing to make a public display of herself, she overseen the diplomates under her to keep them within check and ensure their jobs were done.

Shadow Hand - The secet socity of the Shadowcasters. The unground police network that answered only to the empress. They kept watch over the city itself and their affairs. While still acting upon their own best interests to safe guard the city, they held right to strip rank, to openly kill anyone of their choice so long as they held a writ for the kill. Many avoided the masked ninja like warriors that'd stalk the city, forever lurking in the shadows. But the Shadow hand were not simply in the city alone, they were also stratgicly stationed around the main Shadowcaster land. Such as the Willow's Inn, just south of Shadow Hallow. Having several bases of operation ensured that they could have access to almost anything. Containing four ranks, these ranks are one person ranks only. That single person role-plays their character and along with the given rank has access to Shadow Hand NPC's.The NPC's that the character summons to their aid, or simply to act as an escort or guard may not summon their own NPC's.

Spoken - The spoken for is a character that the empress has chosen to lead the Shadow hand against all threats that could endanger the well fair of the empire, even if it meant waging war with the Shadowcasters themselves whom would eventually one day subscum to the insanity that lingered within them. Being acceptionally skilled in the forms of investagtion, war, medical sciene ; he understood his position well. [ Accessable by: Selection.

Nightclaw - The nightclaws are the stillness in the night. The shimmer under the moon light, the flash of glamour before the kill. Stealthy assassins that act as the special ops force of the empire. Mostly called upon when a threat is ratted out and is taken care of before it can truly arise. [ Accessable by: Selection. Special Restriction: May only summon six Shadow Hand Shadekins ]

Shadekin - Creatures that appear almost like a fade would. Generally wearing armored chest and studded leather curiasses. While adoning themselves with other forms of armor. They were armored more so than the rest of the Shadow Hand. The armor they wore of course was crafted with runes, to given them a great arcane resistence. Bound to come into some form of magical contact, they kept themselves safe guarded from it. [ Accessable by: Selection. Special Restriction: May only summon two Night claws, or eight Shrouded.]

Shrouded - The shrouded were the every day part of the Shadow Hand that concealed themselves to look like the masses. Always watchful while being next to completely undetectable, the shrouded mostly dressed to imposter the average citizen. This allowed them easy access through the stress, without drawing any suspecsion. Consisting of many of the arcane weilders, they disliked the heavy armorments of the others. While they held the lowest rank within Shadow Hand, they were still highly respected within their faction. While the Shadowcaster's main army was constantly upon the walls around over looking each of the areas. It fell to all of the Shadow Hand to keep an eye below within the very streets and homes that took up the space between the garrsions. [ Accessable by: Selection. Special Restriction: May only summon ten Shrouded. ]
