Roleplay
The Past
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.
The Koguryo Spy Guild of the old days was an unquestionably elite collection of individuals. Their names--Hobart, Chongun, HanSu, Xentri, SpyVsSpy, Misled, & Yoshiku - to name a few - were certain to inspire awe among members of the community, especially rogues.
Uncovering the KSG
The Koguryian Spy Guild consists of men, women, boys and girls. They have no particular race, colour, 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 feild of espionage may be asked to become initiates.
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.
Joining the KSG does not require a set training programme, nor a series of lectures. Your guildship is granted to you from the work that is put in, whether it be for the specific reasons of joining this group, or you've done it because of your own personal reasons. Some Junior Premiers may want to test your abilities, thus set tasks for you to complete. Take it, Achieve it, return. No Complaints, no worries.
The Hierachy
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 refered 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. 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 organise work opporunities for those whom are specialised in an area.
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 Royal Army. Spies were formerly not allowed to serve in the army, though the 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.
Historical Artifacts
