The League of Nine[1] is an extra-judicial organisation for the dispensation of justice in Borca.
Somewhere in Sturben is the Cerulean Chamber, meeting place of the infamous League of Nine, a self-appointed court of justice composed of apothecaries from Borca’s ruling houses. When the law fails and duels are not a desirable option, those who think themselves wronged can petition the organisation for retribution. No petitioner ever meets the league's members in person. Known as the Nine, they work through various proxies, and although they know each other by name, they ritually don cloaks and masks during their tribunals. So secretive is the league that many who have used its services are still unsure that it actually exists. If the league accepts a petition, the Nine convene to debate its merits. They mete out only one punishment: the subtle slumber. Within a month of the league reaching a decision, the “guilty” party will almost inevitably die of “natural causes.” On that day, the petitioner receives a bill for the service, usually equaling half the legal fine for the victim’s murder.
These genteel murderers are in effect running an assassins' guild. They act, however, according to criteria that are not well known to the public. The Nine, being lawful evil, have as their primary goal the strengthen of their own positions and that of the organisation itself. They mete out “justice” as best suits their interests, so they will generally not execute members of their own families, nor will they strike directly against the sefs. Once a petition is made, the ruling lies entirely in the hands of the Nine. Should they decide that the petitioner is the true wrongdoer, it is she whose end is near, with the unwitting accused soon receiving the bill.
