From an age long forgotten by the denizens of Ethia, the Highprinces ruled over the Everdust with an iron grip, instilling the virtues of loyalty and subservience whilst upholding tradition and their supposed divine appointment to the Thrones in the Desert. The Bow was considered a holy weapon, only to be wielded by the nobility and their closest confidants. There were however, situations when the Highprinces’ bows were not the best tool for the job, when daggers and poison were needed to be rid of unsavoury characters. For this the Highprinces had the Mamber.
The usage of tools are usually an indicator for advanced intelligence for an organism. Though not particularly gifted in solving puzzles or building structures, the Mamber is incredibly deft with a dagger and applies highly advanced fighting techniques that other more intelligent practitioners find hard to grasp. Their daggers are usually made from stone or large claws that have been sharpened and will usually be crafted by the wielders themselves.
The Mambers were the best candidates for stealth operations during the times of the Highprinces, they were able to move around quietly, jump astonishingly high, and squeeze through narrow passages. Though they are no longer employed as assassins by any monarch or organization, they remain as a dangerous force to be reckoned with. I would advise not to confront any Mamber unless absolutely necessary. Also don’t try to fight them, unless you like poison being spat in your face.
