Category:The Kargat
The Kargat is a dutiful agent of Azalin Rex. It is a largely clandistine organisation that is charged with being his eyes, ears, and fist. It is at once a spy agency and an assassins guild with limited public duties as a law enforcement agency. It acts inside and outside of Darkon. It targets Darkonians and foreigners. Its lower ranks are filled by humans and demihumans. Its middle ranks are filled by lycanthropes and their like. Its upper ranks are filled by vampires and the undead. All told, there might be 200 members.
Abroad a member of the Kargat may have some measure of fear of law enforcement agencies, but he or she has no respect for the law itself of that land. At home members of the Kargat are exempt from baronical law and are responsible for the enforcement of royal law. Baronical law is set locally by the 22 barons of Darkon. Royal law is set nationally by Azalin Rex and is enforced as he sees fit. In consequence a member of the Kargat answers only to his or her superiors and ultimately Azalin Rex. A member of the Kargat does not worry about having to justify the legality of his or her actions publically in a court of law. Rather he or she should worry about having to justify the wisdom of his or her actions in private to individuals concerned with both results and appearances. The Kargat is able to employ very unsavory types precisely because it is capable of putting each on very short leash ending in choker chain. The difficulty is that superiors right up the chain of command to Azalin Rex himself must be competent and must remain vigilant. When Azalin is busy with one of his grand schemes, the Kargat fails to receive the attention required for individual agendas to be kept in check. When Azalin nearly destroyed himself in the Requiem, it was Tavelia, the head of the Martira Bay cell of the Kargat, who attempted to engineer his return as her slave.
The public face of the Kargat's enforcement of royal law are prisons, in a handful of towns, administered by the Kargat, to which offenders are dragged by the Kargat and from which the condemned are never released by the Kargat or anyone else. The unseen face of the Kargat's enforcement of royal law are disappearences in the dead of night.
The Kargat is a somewhat cellular and scattered organisation. It is possible that a complete list of its membership does not exist. The Kargat is divided geographically with Lady Kazandra being the leader based in Martira Bay, Venrith Chole being the leader in Karg, and Berly Silvertress being the leader in Corvia.
