The Greater Brotherhood

The Greater Brotherhood, known by outsiders as The Fallen Brotherhood, is an order of fanatical Temporals following the ideas of their leader Polaris. The brotherhood is most known for their part in The Fall where they reopened the rift that once connected Titan and Farhaven, killing the father of Polaris' and Elric, Nero causing Nero's best friend Thrym, to ascend to Paragon of the Temporals. The brotherhood is most known post fall as a league of righteous assassins that target those who would cause great harm in changing the ideal future. While generally those who are victims of the brotherhood would be considered immoral by society the members often act pre-emtively in dealing with those they interperate as a threat to the greater good. Led by visions and prophecies of the future the brotherhood has in the past been torn appart with internal strife when interpertations between the members of the Seer Council contradict. The methods of execution used by the brotherhood hold to a very strict set of rules.

Methods are used by the brotherhood to ensure that each assassin knows nothing about a target except the general principle of being a threat to the greater good.

The one they are destined to kill appear as a vague human shape with no defining features, the brother will not even be able to tell if the target is male or female.

A multitide of temporal arts are used during the assassination but stall, blink and phase are the most common and effective.

A single swift strike is delt to the heart of the target with a short, thin blade.

As the target dies the blade used by the brother converts the high amount of life energy of those who can cause significant influence to the timeways into power that grants the weilder a glimpse into the future.

The target utters a single sentence before dying, the prophecy of which is burnt as runes into the eyes of the brother.

These prophecies are then inscribed into the Seer Stone to provide information of how the timeways have now changed.

With the removal of the prophecy from the brother a portion of their light leaves them, evetually leading to blindness after multiple missions.

Those who survive long enough to be fully blinded are then initiated as members of the Seer Council where they are responsible for interperating the prophecies they have gathered.

The general public both fears and revears the members of the brotherhood who kill both figures of great evil and those generally seen as innocent.
