== Introduction to the KSG ==<br />
'''The Past'''<br />
<br />
The Koguryian Spy Guild, also known as the K.S.G., was formed in the fall of Yuri 27 by Thomstel. Thomstel was an Assassin, born before the great shift. The emblem of Khan was made during that time. All initiates and members of the K.S.G are given a scar, a branding to show their skill. This symbol is worn with pride and passion.<br />
The Koguryo Spy Guild of the old days was an unquestionably elite collection of individuals.<br />
(Some of their names - Hobart, Chongun, HanSu, spyVSspy, Levos, Spades, Lobodato, Hook, Nagnag, Vegitto, Bitwise, Knuckles, InTersTaTe and Xentri.) <br />
<br />
'''Uncovering the KSG'''<br />
<br />
Agents of the KSG are often revealed by an X-shaped scar somewhere on their bodies, most frequently the arm, and it would not be wise to boast of having such a scar were it not given to you by the KSG.<br />
<br />
'''The Hierachy'''<br />
<br />
The 'Elder' of the KSG is often referred to as the "Premier". Under the direct line of command of the Premier are the Guides (Also known as the "Junior Premiers"). <br />
<br />
The Koguryo Spy Guild since its founding has dominated espionage in the Kingdoms. The guild has had a few more notable rival organizations in its time; there has been a long-standing tension between the organization and the [[Koguryo Army | Koguryo Royal Army]]. Spies were formerly not allowed to serve in the army, though the [[Buya Army | BIA]] and later the [[Nagnang Army]] made use of their talent. Recently, however, it seems the relationship between the [[Koguryo Army | Koguryo Royal Army]] and the KSG is warming up. The KSG has also had a longstanding rivalry with a group named Black Thorn, which makes an appearance from time to time. Members of the KSG are unlikely to speak about their work openly; it is not uncommon for them to use a "cover" instead of discussing their true profession.<br />

'''The Bear Emblem'''<br />
''A letter from spyVSspy to Levos.''<br />
<br />
Levos,<br />
By now you have received my gift, a little token of my respect for you and your guild. I hope it will fit nicely in your collection, as it always has in mine. All I ask from it is that you read the story of how it came and a little of myself.<br />
<br />
Aye, it was several Years ago when this great emblem became mine - but the story of it may be greater than the item itself. I was a young but wise rogue at the age of 18, but my fame outgrew my age. I was known, but only by the right people. My parents were never around, my mother I never met and my father was a crafty rogue himself, always doing his own thing - perhaps it runs in the family.<br />
<br />
It was from him and an older brother that my inner and true skills became apparent. My start was no different than any other rogues, stealing a few coins here and there to support myself. Then one day a man approached me, he said he had been watching me. He was a grisly man - probably in his early to mid 40's. The sun was setting in the east and a slight drizzle dampened my hair. I proceeded to ask what he wanted from me, he stopped me short of completing my sentence and asked one simple question - a question that changed everything and forever molded my future.<br />
<br />
He asked "Are you ready?"<br />
<br />
At this point it seemed like a waste of my time and I was ready to turn my back and proceed with my business. As I began to turn he grabbed my shoulder and asked me again -<br />
<br />
"Are you ready?" <br />
<br />
On any other night I would have whipped my trusty blood out and asked him if HE was ready, but something caught my eye.<br />
On his lower right pocket hanged a medallion, but this was no typical medallion. The medallion was one that could only be worn by the leader of a clan, and a great clan at that. Somewhat confused I let him continue. He told me of his troubles with a rival clan, the Bear Clan. For many years the two clans had been in several fights and infinite disputes, he stated.<br />
Still not sure of what he wanted, I asked.<br />
<br />
"So?" <br />
<br />
This is when the deal was presented to me, and it became apparent that my name had truly gotten to the right people. The deal was simple but the task was not, he wished to bring great humiliation to the Bear clan in response to what they had done to him a few weeks earlier. I quickly asked him what he was willing to give for this and what exactly he wanted.<br />
What he felt would be the greatest triumph to him was that if he could get his dirty little hands on the Bear clans Emblem, a far from simple task. He offered me One million coins for this, which was a large sum of money for someone my age. I would have taken the deal, but being the rogue I am I pushed him to one and a half million.<br />
<br />
For several weeks I watched over the Bear clans hall seeking weak points and noticing guard switches. After five weeks I was ready, it was not simple but I knew I was ready. Midnight was approaching and the guard changes were being made. Under the cloak of darkness and the clouds blocking the moon I snuck around to the back and with stealth cracked a window open. As I slid into the hall I could hear the guards coming around to take their posts in the back - I had made it in safely.<br />
<br />
Much to my surprise the inside was secured much less than the outside - they had obviously over-estimated the ability of their guards or perhaps under-estimated mine. After making it inside I had little difficulty locating the emblem, as I had paid a new Cub a small fee to tell me its location. The emblem was already rolled up so I simply tucked it under my arm and ate a ginseng piece while I took a small break inside waiting for the next guard change. The next change was at 4 in the morning, right in time to make it home before day break.<br />
<br />
Getting out was not as clean cut as making it in, while slipping out the window I had entered from a guard caught me in his peripheral vision. Yet being the agile man I am I was able to slice his throat with my Blood before he could even say a word. Even with this slight delay I was still home before daybreak.<br />
<br />
By the next Afternoon I was already starting to hear stories of the great heist. Two days later I made the trip over to deliver my end of the deal, but much to my surprise the old man was unable to uphold his. He told me he was unable to pay me the money I had earned and that the simple fact that the emblem was stolen was enough to please him. Without second thought... I killed him, as the last bit of life slipped from him I told him that "NO ONE backs out on a deal with me and lives for tomorrow."<br />
<br />
As I walked away I was upset that I was not paid, but in the end I had gained great experience, ended a worthless clan, and gained a great trophy all in one nights work. A trophy that I now relinquish to you, are you ready? I am, as always.<br />
<br />
You, Levos, are the first to hear this story. Why? Simple, if told to another, enemies would be made and alliances lost, both are something that would never be to my benefit. With this emblem comes a bond of secrecy - never tell a soul of this story. I have confided in you and you alone.<br />
I hope I have not wasted your time, because I do not like mine wasted.<br />

'''A Subtle Reminder'''<br />
''A letter from Kiel to the Guild.''<br />
<br />
Why do you act like that? <br />
<br />
Do you enjoy being pulled around lifelessly?<br />
<br />
Is it because you think we're a guild full of different cliques?<br />
<br />
Perhaps it's because you fear the power...<br />
<br />
Maybe it's because of your lack of vision...<br />
<br />
It's truly not that hard of a concept to grasp...<br />
<br />
I don't know.. but I really do not mind..<br />
<br />
...pointing it out for you.. it's true...<br />
<br />
I really don't mind...<br />

'''The Stained Silver'''<br />
<br />
The Stained Silver is a legendary tool remembered only in verse.<br />
<br />
''"The Blade, Unsheathed, But still within,<br />
<br />
The Silver lockpick, The key to go in.<br />
<br />
From within the silver, the key will remain<br />
<br />
the key will still be there, when silver is stained."''<br />
<br />
Legend, is realities lost history. The picks exists, however, there are only a few. Not many know of the lockpick, which is just how it should be, a gracious and useful item to use in the most.. confining situations.<br />
From the ones that do exists, I have collected them, since then had them engraved.. to a commoner, who will most likely see it, small wavy text reading "Stained Silver" will be inscribed upon the hilt of the swords. They have since then been handed to my best men to hold, use, and to keep a secret well guarded. But even if the public knew we had these great tools.. would they be able to stop us from completing our jobs?<br />

Aye, it was several Years ago when this great emblem became mine - but the story of it may be greater than the item itself. I was a young but wise rogue at the age of 18, but my fame outgrew my age. I was known, but only by the right people. My parents were never around, my mother I never met and my father was a crafty rogue himself, always doing his own thing - perhaps it runs in the family.<br />
<br />
It was from him and an older brother that my inner and true skills became apparent. My start was no different than any other rogues, stealing a few coins here and there to support myself. Then one day a man approached me, he said he had been watching me. He was a grisly man - probably in his early to mid 40's. The sun was setting in the east and a slight drizzle dampened my hair. I proceeded to ask what he wanted from me, he stopped me short of completing my sentence and asked one simple question - a question that changed everything and forever molded my future.<br />
<br />
He asked "Are you ready?"<br />
<br />
At this point it seemed like a waste of my time and I was ready to turn my back and proceed with my business. As I began to turn he grabbed my shoulder and asked me again -<br />
<br />
"Are you ready?" <br />
<br />
On any other night I would have whipped my trusty blood out and asked him if HE was ready, but something caught my eye.<br />
On his lower right pocket hanged a medallion, but this was no typical medallion. The medallion was one that could only be worn by the leader of a clan, and a great clan at that. Somewhat confused I let him continue. He told me of his troubles with a rival clan, the Bear Clan. For many years the two clans had been in several fights and infinite disputes, he stated.<br />
Still not sure of what he wanted, I asked.<br />
<br />
"So?" <br />
<br />
This is when the deal was presented to me, and it became apparent that my name had truly gotten to the right people. The deal was simple but the task was not, he wished to bring great humiliation to the Bear clan in response to what they had done to him a few weeks earlier. I quickly asked him what he was willing to give for this and what exactly he wanted.<br />
What he felt would be the greatest triumph to him was that if he could get his dirty little hands on the Bear clans Emblem, a far from simple task. He offered me One million coins for this, which was a large sum of money for someone my age. I would have taken the deal, but being the rogue I am I pushed him to one and a half million.<br />
<br />
For several weeks I watched over the Bear clans hall seeking weak points and noticing guard switches. After five weeks I was ready, it was not simple but I knew I was ready. Midnight was approaching and the guard changes were being made. Under the cloak of darkness and the clouds blocking the moon I snuck around to the back and with stealth cracked a window open. As I slid into the hall I could hear the guards coming around to take their posts in the back - I had made it in safely.<br />
<br />
Much to my surprise the inside was secured much less than the outside - they had obviously over-estimated the ability of their guards or perhaps under-estimated mine. After making it inside I had little difficulty locating the emblem, as I had paid a new Cub a small fee to tell me its location. The emblem was already rolled up so I simply tucked it under my arm and ate a ginseng piece while I took a small break inside waiting for the next guard change. The next change was at 4 in the morning, right in time to make it home before day break.<br />
<br />
Getting out was not as clean cut as making it in, while slipping out the window I had entered from a guard caught me in his peripheral vision. Yet being the agile man I am I was able to slice his throat with my Blood before he could even say a word. Even with this slight delay I was still home before daybreak.<br />
<br />
By the next Afternoon I was already starting to hear stories of the great heist. Two days later I made the trip over to deliver my end of the deal, but much to my surprise the old man was unable to uphold his. He told me he was unable to pay me the money I had earned and that the simple fact that the emblem was stolen was enough to please him. Without second thought... I killed him, as the last bit of life slipped from him I told him that "NO ONE backs out on a deal with me and lives for tomorrow."<br />
<br />
As I walked away I was upset that I was not paid, but in the end I had gained great experience, ended a worthless clan, and gained a great trophy all in one nights work. A trophy that I now relinquish to you, are you ready? I am, as always.<br />
<br />
You, Levos, are the first to hear this story. Why? Simple, if told to another, enemies would be made and alliances lost, both are something that would never be to my benefit. With this emblem comes a bond of secrecy - never tell a soul of this story. I have confided in you and you alone.<br />
I hope I have not wasted your time, because I do not like mine wasted.<br />

<div>Hey Zaventh, I sent PhantomSnake a message but I figured I would let you know too. I see that you've both been uploading images, and I may have something that can help you. I've got a few folders that are full of .gif images of items from the game. It may be easier than trying to find user pages that have the items. Also it's got quite a few .gif images of items that you probably won't ever find on user pages such as Plate of Chestnuts, Mirror, Merchant's bet, etc. Anyways, let me know if you're interested.--[[User:Scum|Scum]] 14:52, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)<br />
<br />
It might be handy to upload those gifs as a zip (if it's not too big) somewhere on the NexusWiki server and provide a link to it in the images guidelines. What do you think, Zaventh?--[[User:PhantomSnake|PhantomSnake]] 15:07, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)<br />
<br />
It is 800k when it's compressed. There are about 574 images, all in .gif format.--[[User:Scum|Scum]] 15:11, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)<br />
<br />
There you go, enjoy. And let me know if there is anything I can do to help.--[[User:Scum|Scum]] 15:25, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)<br />

In my uploading of the clan helm graphics I had a few typos. And I can't delete the image or rename them. Engima_helm should be Enigma_helm and Sillla-K\'urimja_helm should be Silla-K'urimja_helm. Yeah that one was a bad typo. Thanks. Sorry to bug ya, but uhh guess I'm not powerful enough to delete. =D<br />
<br />
== Okie doke ==<br />
You can delete the first upload of Sillla-K\'urimja_helm.JPG and Engima_helm.JPG <br />

If you get a chance could you take a look at peasant weapons section, for the moment Im just trying to divide it up into sections for each main heading, I relise not all those ehadings will go under each section, but they will eb applicable when/if i ever get around to the poet/warrior/rogue etc weapon sections...just alot of data to find in game and add.<br />
<br />
anyways drop em some feedback, hopefully before I add anything to much to the page.<br />

Hey Zaventh. What do you think of the changes I made to the menu? Specifically, I'm referring to the new "Paths" and "Subpaths" items and the floating menus they bring up.

<br />
Hey Zaventh, Its me again, I was wondering if you think it would be a good idea to add a "recent updates" section on the main page to show which pages have been recently updated so we can all go look at them and know whats being updated! Just wondering...<br />

I was trying to make an event character template like they generally use in wikis for characters, but I wasn't able to do it. Is it something special you have to setup yourself? <br />

=== Re: Event character template ===<br />
<br />
There's nothing special you should have to do. Just go to the name of the template you want just as [[Template:Character]] and create it. I do like the idea and and the template they use ([http://www.wowwiki.com/index.php?title=Template:Npcbox&action=edit]) is a pretty good starting point I think. If you want to create it go right ahead, otherwise I can work on it a bit. --[[User:Zaventh|Zaventh]] 14:22, 18 July 2008 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Also known as the Koguryo Spy Guild (KSG), or simply "The Guild". The organization was founded by Thomstel.<br />
<br />
== Members ==<br />
The current members of the Spy [[subpath]] can be found [http://users.nexustk.com/webreport/Spy.htm here]. The current [[Elders | Elder]] of the Spy Guild is [http://users.nexustk.com/?name=Misled Misled]. [[Image:Powder 1.gif]]<br />
<br />
== Roleplay ==<br />
'''The Past'''<br />
<br />
The Koguryian Spy Guild, also known as the K.S.G., was formed in the fall of Yuri 27 by Thomstel. Thomstel was an Assassin, born before the great shift. The emblem of Khan was made during that time. All initiates and members of the K.S.G are given a scar, a branding to show their skill. This symbol is worn with pride and passion.<br />
The Koguryo Spy Guild of the old days was an unquestionably elite collection of individuals.<br />
Some of their names - Hobart, Chongun, HanSu, spyVSspy, Levos, Spades, Lobodato, Hook, Nagnag, Vegitto, Bitwise, Knuckles, InTersTaTe and Xentri. - were certain to inspire awe among members of the community, especially rogues.<br />
<br />
'''Uncovering the KSG'''<br />
<br />
Agents of the KSG are often revealed by an X-shaped scar somewhere on their bodies, most frequently the arm, and it would not be wise to boast of having such a scar were it not given to you by the KSG.<br />
<br />
'''The Hierachy'''<br />
<br />
The 'Elder' of the Guild is known as the 'Premier'. This head figure oversees the over-all running of the Guild and it's members. Under the direct line of command of the Premier are the Junior Premiers. They are sometimes incorrectly referred to as 'Guides'. These "JP's" are responsible for the recruitment of members within the Guild. They are just some of the finest of the KSG Members.<br />
Aside from the "JP's", there are a number of members responsible for key areas within the espionage industry. Specialised groups such as the highly dedicated Assassins', or the clandestine Saboteurs' all have 'Department Leaders'. These leaders organize work opportunities for those whom are specialized in an area.<br />
<br />
The Koguryo Spy Guild since its founding has dominated espionage in the Kingdoms. There have existed at times smaller groups of spies, members of which, if they were good enough at what they did, might have received the scar. If not, they would disappear. The guild has had a few more notable rival organizations in its time; there has been a long-standing tension between the organization and the [[Koguryo Army | Koguryo Royal Army]]. Spies were formerly not allowed to serve in the army, though the [[Buya Army | BIA]] and later the [[Nagnang Army]] always made use of their talent. Recently, however, it seems the relationship between the two organizations is warming up. The KSG has also had a longstanding rivalry with a group named Black Thorn, which makes an appearance from time to time. Members of the guild are usually disinclined to speak about their work openly; they often work or pretend to work different professions. Some cannot shake their darker nature, while others remain amiable to the last.<br />
<br />
== Historical Artifacts ==<br />
'''The Stained Silver'''<br />
<br />
The Stained Silver is a legendary tool remembered only in verse.<br />
<br />
''"The Blade, Unsheathed, But still within,<br />
<br />
The Silver lockpick, The key to go in.<br />
<br />
From within the silver, the key will remain<br />
<br />
the key will still be there, when silver is stained."''<br />
<br />
Legend, is realities lost history. The picks exists, however, there are only a few. Not many know of the lockpick, which is just how it should be, a gracious and useful item to use in the most.. confining situations.<br />
From the ones that do exists, I have collected them, since then had them engraved.. to a commoner, who will most likely see it, small wavy text reading "Stained Silver" will be inscribed upon the hilt of the swords. They have since then been handed to my best men to hold, use, and to keep a secret well guarded. But even if the public knew we had these great tools.. would they be able to stop us from completing our jobs?<br />

<br />
'''Uncovering the KSG'''<br />
<br />
The Koguryian Spy Guild consists of men, women, boys and girls. They have no particular race, color, socio-denomintation or face. A Spy is a Spy, whether they be in the KSG or not. The KSG acts as a form of membership group; those whom frequently work in the field of espionage may be asked to become initiates.<br />
<br />
These days, they are often revealed by an X-shaped scar somewhere on their bodies, most frequently the arm, and it would not be wise to boast of having such a scar were it not given to you by the KSG.<br />

From the ones that do exists, I have collected them, since then had them engraved.. to a commoner, who will most likely see it, small wavy text reading "Stained Silver" will be inscribed upon the hilt of the swords. They have since then been handed to my best men to hold, use, and to keep a secret well guarded. But even if the public knew we had these great tools.. would they be able to stop us from completing our jobs?<br />

'''The Bear Emblem'''<br />
''A letter from SpyVsSpy to Levos.''<br />
<br />
Levos,<br />
By now you have received my gift, a little token of my respect for you and your guild. I hope it will fit nicely in your collection, as it always has in mine. All I ask from it is that you read the story of how it came and a little of myself.<br />
<br />
Aye, it was several Years ago when this great emblem became mine - but the story of it may be greater than the item itself. I was a young but wise rogue at the age of 18, but my fame outgrew my age. I was known, but only by the right people. My parents were never around, my mother I never met and my father was a crafty rogue himself, always doing his own thing - perhaps it runs in the family.<br />
<br />
It was from him and an older brother that my inner and true skills became apparent. My start was no different than any other rogues, stealing a few coins here and there to support myself. Then one day a man approached me, he said he had been watching me. He was a grisly man - probably in his early to mid 40's. The sun was setting in the east and a slight drizzle dampened my hair. I proceeded to ask what he wanted from me, he stopped me short of completing my sentence and asked one simple question - a question that changed everything and forever molded my future.<br />
<br />
He asked "Are you ready?"<br />
<br />
At this point it seemed like a waste of my time and I was ready to turn my back and proceed with my business. As I began to turn he grabbed my shoulder and asked me again -<br />
<br />
"Are you ready?" <br />
<br />
On any other night I would have whipped my trusty blood out and asked him if HE was ready, but something caught my eye.<br />
On his lower right pocket hanged a medallion, but this was no typical medallion. The medallion was one that could only be worn by the leader of a clan, and a great clan at that. Somewhat confused I let him continue. He told me of his troubles with a rival clan, the Bear Clan. For many years the two clans had been in several fights and infinite disputes, he stated.<br />
Still not sure of what he wanted, I asked.<br />
<br />
"So?" <br />
<br />
This is when the deal was presented to me, and it became apparent that my name had truly gotten to the right people. The deal was simple but the task was not, he wished to bring great humiliation to the Bear clan in response to what they had done to him a few weeks earlier. I quickly asked him what he was willing to give for this and what exactly he wanted.<br />
What he felt would be the greatest triumph to him was that if he could get his dirty little hands on the Bear clans Emblem, a far from simple task. He offered me One million coins for this, which was a large sum of money for someone my age. I would have taken the deal, but being the rogue I am I pushed him to one and a half million.<br />
<br />
For several weeks I watched over the Bear clans hall seeking weak points and noticing guard switches. After five weeks I was ready, it was not simple but I knew I was ready. Midnight was approaching and the guard changes were being made. Under the cloak of darkness and the clouds blocking the moon I snuck around to the back and with stealth cracked a window open. As I slid into the hall I could hear the guards coming around to take their posts in the back - I had made it in safely.<br />
<br />
Much to my surprise the inside was secured much less than the outside - they had obviously over-estimated the ability of their guards or perhaps under-estimated mine. After making it inside I had little difficulty locating the emblem, as I had paid a new Cub a small fee to tell me its location. The emblem was already rolled up so I simply tucked it under my arm and ate a ginseng piece while I took a small break inside waiting for the next guard change. The next change was at 4 in the morning, right in time to make it home before day break.<br />
<br />
Getting out was not as clean cut as making it in, while slipping out the window I had entered from a guard caught me in his peripheral vision. Yet being the agile man I am I was able to slice his throat with my Blood before he could even say a word. Even with this slight delay I was still home before daybreak.<br />
<br />
By the next Afternoon I was already starting to hear stories of the great heist. Two days later I made the trip over to deliver my end of the deal, but much to my surprise the old man was unable to uphold his. He told me he was unable to pay me the money I had earned and that the simple fact that the emblem was stolen was enough to please him. Without second thought... I killed him, as the last bit of life slipped from him I told him that "NO ONE backs out on a deal with me and lives for tomorrow."<br />
<br />
As I walked away I was upset that I was not paid, but in the end I had gained great experience, ended a worthless clan, and gained a great trophy all in one nights work. A trophy that I now relinquish to you, are you ready? I am, as always.<br />
<br />
You, Levos, are the first to hear this story. Why? Simple, if told to another, enemies would be made and alliances lost, both are something that would never be to my benefit. With this emblem comes a bond of secrecy - never tell a soul of this story. I have confided in you and you alone.<br />
I hope I have not wasted your time, because I do not like mine wasted.<br />

<br />
One Halloween night, a fierce beast from realms unknown appeared in the kingdoms. This creature of nightmare was the Chaos beast, who began to rampage through the Vale. Legend had it that whoever defeated the beast would claim it's soul in the form of a blade of immense power, for it was formed of the chaotic energies of the beast itself.<br />
<br />
Many brave adventurers battled with the beast, but only one managed to defeat it- spyVSspy. He then claimed the sword for himself.<br />
<br />
It switched hands to Xentri. And once more to Tiffy, who is still believed to be the current holder.<br />

Unlike other paths of its time, the actual role-play was relatively contested among it's members. The Shadow role-play was open to interpretation by each member to a certain degree.

The Shadow essentially maintained balance in the Kingdoms, and also on broader scales. Sometimes this would require a Shadow to align themselves with individuals or ideals that were perceived as "Good" or "Evil". The Shadow referred to these extremes on their moral spectrum as "Light" and "Dark". A Shadow's nature was to remain neutral. They were between the "Light" and the "Dark", commonly known as "Gray". "Gray" was nearly synonymous with the [[Ohaeng]] teaching. <br />

<br />
Also known as the Koguryo Spy Guild (KSG), or simply "The Guild". The organization was founded by Thomstel.<br />
<br />
== Members ==<br />
The current members of the Spy [[subpath]] can be found [http://users.nexustk.com/webreport/Spy.htm here]. The current [[Elders | Elder]] of the Spy Guild is [http://users.nexustk.com/?name=Yoshiku Yoshiku]. [[Image:Powder 1.gif]]<br />
<br />
== Roleplay ==<br />
'''The Past'''<br />
<br />
The Koguryian Spy Guild, also known as the K.S.G., was formed in the fall of Yuri 27 by Thomstel. Thomstel was an Assassin, born before the great shift. The emblem of Khan was made during that time. All initiates and members of the K.S.G are given a scar, a branding to show their skill. This symbol is worn with Pride and passion.<br />
The Koguryo Spy Guild of the old days was an unquestionably elite collection of individuals.<br />
Some of their names - Hobart, Chongun, HanSu, spyVSspy, Levos, Spades, Lobodato, Hook, Nagnag, Vegitto, Bitwise, Knuckles, InTersTaTe and Xentri. - were certain to inspire awe among members of the community, especially rogues.<br />
<br />
'''Uncovering the KSG'''<br />
<br />
The Koguryian Spy Guild consists of men, women, boys and girls. They have no particular race, color, socio-denomintation or face. A Spy is a Spy, whether they be in the KSG or not. The KSG acts as a form of membership group; those whom frequently work in the field of espionage may be asked to become initiates.<br />
<br />
These days, they are often revealed by an X-shaped scar somewhere on their bodies, most frequently the arm, and it would not be wise to boast of having such a scar were it not given to you by the KSG.<br />
<br />
'''The Hierachy'''<br />
<br />
The 'Elder' of the Guild is known as the 'Premier'. This head figure oversees the over-all running of the Guild and it's members. Under the direct line of command of the Premier are the Junior Premiers. They are sometimes incorrectly referred to as 'Guides'. These "JP's" are responsible for the recruitment of members within the Guild. They are just some of the finest of the KSG Members.<br />
Aside from the "JP's", there are a number of members responsible for key areas within the espionage industry. Specialised groups such as the highly dedicated Assassins', or the clandestine Saboteurs' all have 'Department Leaders'. These leaders organize work opportunities for those whom are specialized in an area.<br />
<br />
The Koguryo Spy Guild since its founding has dominated the circles of espionage in the Kingdoms. There have existed at times smaller groups of spies, members of which, if they were good enough at what they did, might have received the scar. If not, they would disappear. The guild has had a few more notable rival organizations in its time; there has been a long-standing tension between the organization and the [[Koguryo Army | Koguryo Royal Army]]. Spies were formerly not allowed to serve in the army, though the [[Buya Army | BIA]] and later the [[Nagnang Army]] always made use of their talent. Recently, however, it seems the relationship between the two organizations is warming up. The KSG has also had a longstanding rivalry with a group named Black Thorn, which makes an appearance from time to time. Members of the guild are usually disinclined to speak about their work openly; they often work or pretend to work different professions. Some cannot shake their darker nature, while others remain amiable to the last.<br />
<br />
== Historical Artifacts ==<br />
'''The Stained Silver'''<br />
<br />
The Stained Silver is a legendary tool remembered only in verse.<br />
<br />
''"The Blade, Unsheathed, But still within,<br />
<br />
The Silver lockpick, The key to go in.<br />
<br />
From within the silver, the key will remain<br />
<br />
the key will still be there, when silver is stained."''<br />
<br />
Legend, is realities lost history. The picks exists, however, there are only a few. Not many know of the lockpick, which is just how it should be, a gracious and useful item to use in the most.. confining situations.<br />
From the ones that do exists, I have collected them, since then had them engraved.. to a commoner, who will most likely see it, small wavy text reading "Stained Silver" will be inscribed upon the hilt of the swords. They have since then been handed to my best men to hold, use, and to keep a secret well guarded. But even if the public knew we had these great tools.. would they be able to stop us from completing our jobs?<br />

'''The Bear Emblem'''<br />
''A letter from SpyVsSpy to Levos.''<br />
<br />
Levos,<br />
By now you have received my gift, a little token of my respect for you and your guild. I hope it will fit nicely in your collection, as it always has in mine. All I ask from it is that you read the story of how it came and a little of myself.<br />
<br />
Aye, it was several Years ago when this great emblem became mine - but the story of it may be greater than the item itself. I was a young but wise rogue at the age of 18, but my fame outgrew my age. I was known, but only by the right people. My parents were never around, my mother I never met and my father was a crafty rogue himself, always doing his own thing - perhaps it runs in the family.<br />
<br />
It was from him and an older brother that my inner and true skills became apparent. My start was no different than any other rogues, stealing a few coins here and there to support myself. Then one day a man approached me, he said he had been watching me. He was a grisly man - probably in his early to mid 40's. The sun was setting in the east and a slight drizzle dampened my hair. I proceeded to ask what he wanted from me, he stopped me short of completing my sentence and asked one simple question - a question that changed everything and forever molded my future.<br />
<br />
He asked "Are you ready?"<br />
<br />
At this point it seemed like a waste of my time and I was ready to turn my back and proceed with my business. As I began to turn he grabbed my shoulder and asked me again -<br />
<br />
"Are you ready?" <br />
<br />
On any other night I would have whipped my trusty blood out and asked him if HE was ready, but something caught my eye.<br />
On his lower right pocket hanged a medallion, but this was no typical medallion. The medallion was one that could only be worn by the leader of a clan, and a great clan at that. Somewhat confused I let him continue. He told me of his troubles with a rival clan, the Bear Clan. For many years the two clans had been in several fights and infinite disputes, he stated.<br />
Still not sure of what he wanted, I asked.<br />
<br />
"So?" <br />
<br />
This is when the deal was presented to me, and it became apparent that my name had truly gotten to the right people. The deal was simple but the task was not, he wished to bring great humiliation to the Bear clan in response to what they had done to him a few weeks earlier. I quickly asked him what he was willing to give for this and what exactly he wanted.<br />
What he felt would be the greatest triumph to him was that if he could get his dirty little hands on the Bear clans Emblem, a far from simple task. He offered me One million coins for this, which was a large sum of money for someone my age. I would have taken the deal, but being the rogue I am I pushed him to one and a half million.<br />

For several weeks I watched over the Bear clans hall seeking weak points and noticing guard switches. After five weeks I was ready, it was not simple but I knew I was ready. Midnight was approaching and the guard changes were being made. Under the cloak of darkness and the clouds blocking the moon I snuck around to the back and with stealth cracked a window open. As I slid into the hall I could hear the guards coming around to take their posts in the back - I had made it in safely.<br />
<br />
Much to my surprise the inside was secured much less than the outside - they had obviously over-estimated the ability of their guards or perhaps under-estimated mine. After making it inside I had little difficulty locating the emblem, as I had paid a new Cub a small fee to tell me its location. The emblem was already rolled up so I simply tucked it under my arm and ate a ginseng piece while I took a small break inside waiting for the next guard change. The next change was at 4 in the morning, right in time to make it home before day break.<br />
<br />
Getting out was not as clean cut as making it in, while slipping out the window I had entered from a guard caught me in his peripheral vision. Yet being the agile man I am I was able to slice his throat with my Blood before he could even say a word. Even with this slight delay I was still home before daybreak.<br />
<br />
By the next Afternoon I was already starting to hear stories of the great heist. Two days later I made the trip over to deliver my end of the deal, but much to my surprise the old man was unable to uphold his. He told me he was unable to pay me the money I had earned and that the simple fact that the emblem was stolen was enough to please him. Without second thought... I killed him, as the last bit of life slipped from him I told him that "NO ONE backs out on a deal with me and lives for tomorrow."<br />
<br />
As I walked away I was upset that I was not paid, but in the end I had gained great experience, ended a worthless clan, and gained a great trophy all in one nights work. A trophy that I now relinquish to you, are you ready? I am, as always.<br />
<br />
You, Levos, are the first to hear this story. Why? Simple, if told to another, enemies would be made and alliances lost, both are something that would never be to my benefit. With this emblem comes a bond of secrecy - never tell a soul of this story. I have confided in you and you alone.<br />
I hope I have not wasted your time, because I do not like mine wasted.<br />

<div>I thought it was best to seperate the details of the Shadow subpath from the events surrounding the actual disbanding. The disbandment can now be found under [[Shadow disbandment]]. --[[User:Zaventh|Zaventh]] 10:09, 25 Aug 2005 (EDT)<br />

I don't think it's fair to level accusations about unrelated subpaths in a subpath description. I'm changing the statements to something more neutral, but I think the comparison should be removed entirely. Ideally, we should opt for the NPOV that most Wikis try for.<br />

== Just a few clarifications ==<br />
<br />
1. I closed admissions and began reworking the RP of the Shadow before there was a quota.<br />
2. I put together the entire framework of the Shadow RP and fleshed out most of it. I put Kaymat in charge of the Sasang, while I took direct control of Kiun. It was only to the Sasang that Kaymat added additional info to.<br />
3. As we began redeveloping the path under the new RP and started to bring in new members, Nexon announced the quota. At that time we had just over 20 members and it was already my plan to expand the number to 30-35. They first pushed us to thirty and I stepped down in protest giving Elder to IamTaQuito, when then a few days later, gave it to Citian.<br />

Wouldn't it be nice to think that Citian acted as a lone martyr to disband Shadow? Dementia protested to get elder which lead to a path vote which had supposedly gone in his favor. He then decided to protest the quota by stepping down. Following his abandonment of his eldership that was granted by the aforementioned questionable vote, he gave it to IamTaquito who had planned to disband. Instead of IamTaquito following through with his own plans, eldership was handed off to Citian. In the end, the Shadow's enemy was not the quota or a lone act by Citian... it was the collective decisions made by the failed leadership of dementia, IamTaquito, and "Guide" Kamakazi. I wish Kaymat's work had not gone to waste, I also wish Draget had not been subject to a coup. But, ... like I said, it's so much easier to give all the credit to one person. In this case, Citian.</div>Aiaya
