Goals
Based in Atamara this underground para realm organization aims to advance ensure the safety and power of its members in anyway possible. Therefore it's membership is kept secret and trustworthiness is paramount before one is given membership to the group.
Methods
To gain power the group will do things both legal and illegal. Sometimes it will hire itself out as a spy or assassin ring to a realm in return for positions of power or gold. It may even hire itself out to particular nobles who wish to rise in ranks either through election fraud or legal means. Other times it may just perform legal errands or act as a negotiating group between to warring parties.
Communication
Since members are based in various realms across the continent, and secrecy is paramount, the SC communicates through already existing guilds. No single SC member will know all the other members, not even the founder. This prevents the whole group from being exposed through deceit or torture.
If an SC member suspects that another noble might belong to the group but is not sure he will send out a code that will look like an ordinary message to all nobles of the realm. If an SC member sees this code he is to respond to the sender with another code which will identify him as a member.
