ask too much.IfI were to killthe Grewan Prince it would create a power vacuumthat could tear the country apart.Gvery principalitywould tum on the elves to seize more power forthemselves.This nation would be in a civil war allbecause you wanted control of one more barony.Iknow what youre thinking,but more money won'tchange my mind.There is no money to be made inchaos,a nation tearing itself apart would cost memore business than you could ever offer me in returm.So I decline your offer.Before you go off on one of yourfamous rants let me save you the time,because Im abusy man and you don't have much time left.Thatsright Severino,youre dying.I knew what your offer  \nwas so I took stepsbeforehand long beforeyou set up thismeeting.Youll findyour magical ringthat protected youagainst so manypoisons is just a verynon-magical copy,replaced this morningby one of yourhousehold long on ourpayroll.Of courseonce youre dead,Iwill just replace thering with the actual  \none,so it will look like youve have a massive heartattack.Ive already paid off the witnesses andprovided them their stories so there will be noinvestigation.Not that Innocenti is going toinvestigate that hard.So goodbye Severino,it was apleasure knowing you.I just want you to rememberone thíng before you meet the Immortals,it was justbusiness.  \n# Dark Origins\n\nThe Pragmati were founded in 879AC in theGlantrian principality of Caurenze as the premierassassin's guild in that Magocracy.Originally callingthemselves the Negotiator's Guild,they prided themselveson their ability to take out any target,no matter how wellprotected.At first they only targeted victims paid for by  \nthe Malapietra family,but after the Glantrian Parliamentthreatened to hunt down the assassins unless they openedup to all clients,the guild moved their operational base toGlantri City.The guild was allowed to operate with fewrestrictions,first and foremost was princes could not betargeted at all.Second,if the attempt on a target fails,thecontract is considered closed.As Glantri outlaws clerics,targets tended to stay dead.The guild flourished as theGlantri nobility was more than happy to pay large sums tokill each other off by the score.  \nThis golden era of the Negotiator's Guild ended withSeverino Malapietra,the Prince of Caurenze.He wasnever happy about losing control of the guild,and he was  \nin dire need ofassassins to removePrincess Carlotina ofErewan.Carlotina wasset to win a vote takinga barony away from aCaurenze supporterand giving to anErewan noble.Thiswas too much for theelder Malapietra,andhe wanted the elvenprincess dead.Thisviolated the first law ofthe guild and theyrefused.Then guild  \nmembers started turning up dead.To appease the prince,a half hearted attempt on Carlotina was attempted thatfailed,though the assassin got away cleanly.Severinocorrectly assumed that the guild tipped off the elves andthe assassination attempt was staged to pacify theCaurenze prince.This allowed the guild to invoke thesecond law against repeated attempts.He againdemanded the guild kill Carlotina,despite the fact thiswould throw the nation into another civil war.  \nThe Negotiator's Guild officially disbanded in 980AC when Severino Malapietra died from an apparentheart attack at his chateau.Everyone knew his death wasnot from natural causes,but everyone hated the oldmisanthrope and no one mourned him.Still the guildrealized the dangers of taking any contract,as they had  \naverted a bloody war by refusing to kill a single elf.Abetter assassin's guild was needed,one that understoodthat murder for profit should only be done if it affectsfuture profits.The Negotiator Guild was dead,thePragmati was born.  \nThe Pragmati decided to expand all over thecontinent to avoid any potential backlash from theGlantrian government.Because of their diversebackgrounds the Pragmati were able to easily establish apresence in multiple nations.Soon the Pragmati were setup in
