Sandcrows

The Sandcrows are a secretive and legendary caste of assassins originating from the eastern continent of Mythalas. They emerged during the Duxa Expulsion of Calinthia, a historical event marking their initial attempts to overthrow the rising Empire. Despite their efforts, the Sandcrows have been largely unsuccessful in their campaign, leading to some mockery for their inability to significantly impact the Empire's ambitions.

Physically, the Sandcrows defy common stereotypes of slender assassins, being described as remarkably stocky, with necks like bulls and arms resembling Boga tree branches. Despite their apparent visibility, their speed is what makes them incredibly deadly. The Sandcrows' tactics range from subtle manipulations and poisonings to outright confrontations, showcasing their mastery in eliminating targets without leaving a trace. Today, they exist as a shadowy presence and a whispered legend among the people of Calinthia.

Historically, the Sandcrows hail from the continent of Mythalas, located east of the Tyrrhean continent. They follow a strict lineage, with assassins being born into the profession. Their creed, "Flame and fist, the Way will take us home," reflects their commitment to their cause and suggests a deep-seated belief system or guiding philosophy within the group.
