Assassins League equipment

The Assassins League is a guild of killers for hire. It is a secret society of assassins, distinct from the Dark Brotherhood in that it operates more like a business than a cult. For its part, the League claims that the Brotherhood is merely a myth.[1]

League Assassins are held to certain standards, such as making use of League weapons and equipment.[1] Tainted blood is used in the crafting of these items.[2] Joining requires the use of equipment tailored to League specifications, as set out by a member known only as the Gray Maybe in her writings.[1] When an Assassin is assigned a target, the League use a particular saying: "Pass over them with the Hand of Death." This Hand of Death symbol is similar to the Black Hand of the Dark Brotherhood, and appears as a motif on League arms.[1][3]

The Gray Maybe's writings could be found in the Gold Coast region of Cyrodiil during the Interregnum of the Second Era.[3]
