| From their hidden hive, the mysterious cabal of sorcerers known as The Avowed turn the gears of their secret machinations, sending agents into the above world to perform tasks. Some individuals come looking for The Avowed to find something to believe in, even if they do not know what that "something" is. They are plucked from their lost wanderings and bereft searches or brought in subtly through contact with agents. Each agent only knows his or her part and little else. The reason for this is two-fold. First, it keeps the plot secret to all but a few, and even then it seems cryptic. Second, it gives the agent nothing to give away, reducing their usefulness as captives and shielding their minds with ignorance. Members are conditioned in a way that makes them think twice about releasing any sensetive information. They are give a mystical tattoo on the face which hides itself unless it needs to be shown, and the ability to access the compound which serves as a base for their cell. The Avowed have powerful experts in many arcane fields and great knowledge at their disposal. To the Avowed agent, the secret society may seem anything from caring to apathetic to despotic depending on the situation. Contact can be unpredictable, but focused when there is a task to be done. |
