Description
Description: A band of soldiers who prefer shadowy things and prefer there pasts too be so as well. A few have claimed allegiance to Berik, the king of shadows, while others are only aligned to his coin. The army runs just as it's described silently, little information is ever leaked about the army that lurks in the slums and undergrounds of cities. Like a cat the silent army is prepared to pounce on anyone who dare threaten their leader.
Purpose: Berik still seeks his fortune and he's willing to plunge a kingdom into darkness if required, he seeks to be the ruler over these lands so that he may prevent what happened to him as a child to protect young souls from mental scarring that has ruined him. His heart is in the right place but clouded by greed he seeks to greaten his horde.
Structure: On the top because of his coin and his skills is Berik Redstone the elusive mastermind of the silent army. He isn't favored by all though and he knows it.
