Source: Explorer's Guide to Wildemount. skills Deception, Stealth, tools Poisoner's Kit Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Stealth Tool Proficiencies: Poisoner's kit Languages: One of your choice Equipment: A set of common clothes, a black cloak with a hood, a poisoner's kit, and a pouch containing 10 gp Feature: Shadow Network You have access to the Volstrucker shadow network, which allows you to communicate with other members of the order over long distances. If you write a letter in a special arcane ink, address it to a member of the Volstrucker, and cast it into a fire, the letter will burn to cinders and materialize whole again on the person of the agent you addressed it to. The ink used to send a letter across the shadow network is the same as that used by a wizard to scribe spells in a spellbook. Writing a letter in this ink costs 10 gp per page.

The will of the crown is absolute. (Law) 2 True Loyalty. The Cerberus Assembly is greater than any power, even the crown. (Law) 3 Death. The penalty for disloyalty is death. (Evil) 4 Determination. I cannot fail. Not ever. (Neutral) 5 Fear. People should not respect power. They should fear it. (Evil) 6 Escape. The Volstrucker are pure evil! I can't atone...
