Shadow Masters

The Masterhood

Skae walks into a chamber filled with his fellow masters. The room is in the shape of a triangle with a triangular ebony table in the center to match. Like everywhere else the room is marble and on the wall behind Unkiy's thrown is a map of all the explored regions. The room is split into three sections by class: the specialty class(rogues, assassins, healers, etc), the mage class, and the warrior class(ax men, swordsmen, archers, etc.). Unkiy's thrown is seated between the warrior class and mage class.

The Masterhood is set up so that there is are seven masters in each class, each of them is the High Master of their subclass. Each class chooses their representative for the year then it switches, the representatives have no extra power but are usually the ones consoled with when major decisions are made. Masters are in a permanent position unless they quit, die, or are official challenged and lose. The Umatoreas leader is also an elected official but can also be removed if formally challenged and loses; and so goes the masterhood.

Skae takes his position as the fighter master of the specialty class and June respectfully stand a distance behind him after she is commanded not to say a word. Odraz takes the seat next to him on the other corner as the great sword master. Skae raises a questioning eyebrow to his friend who answers with a shrug of the shoulders.

"I'm sure you're all wondering why we gather here today." A booming force says as Unkiy enters the room. Without a response he continues, "Well recently it has come to my attention that some of the humans to which we give protection have formed a secret group against the Umatoreas." a low murmur begins in the room, "Now mind you it is a small congregation of people, but we can not have this spread, we must keep the people's trust. I have been talking with the human leaders and..."

"Why are you talking to politicians!? We should be hunting these people down and stopping this! They need to see that there will be consequences for going against us!" A tall brute of a man exclaims standing up and bringing his fist down on the table, his war hammer clanking against his armor.

"Now Teric, do you speak for the warriors you represent?" Teric looks to the other masters and seeing their disapproval, sits. The tall slender woman after proving her point speaks her mind, "Now as the light mage and the mage representative i believe we should take a gentler approach, we should..."

"Quiet Caye! You people ramble on without even letting me finish. Who is the leader here?" Everyone bows their heads in respect as Unkiy speaks. "I have already spoken with the human leaders and they have taken measure to stop any possible rebellion. You must all remember we have no power outside of the military. And that is not why i asked you all to gather here, it has come to my attention that despite our request that the Eleven empire stay from our borders they still advance ever closer. I have it from several spies that they have no plan of avoiding our borders and i fear war is inevitable." Unkiy finishes gloom shadowing his face.

"So what is our plan sir?" the Shade master stands his wispy voice calm and respectful.

"Good question Esh. The Warrior classes are going to set up a perimeter around the area we know the elves will try and breach and we will do our best to prevent the invasion." Unkiy answers

"In all respect sir thats a terrible idea." All the masters turn to June who's confidently moving away from the wall.

Skae is clearly enraged but does his best to keep his composure as he turns to the girl, "What have I said child? You have disrespected both your lead and me by speaking out of turn. Now leave I will de..."

"Now wait Skae. I agree she is both disrespectful and out of turn, but lets see what she has to say." Unkiy says interrupting Skae. Skae bows his head as June walks more into view of Unkiy. "Now umm," Unkiy searches for the name
