The Morag Tong! Group of Assassins! Code words, spies etc! High Spots, Done!

The Morag Tong is an order of assassins that has been around since when the first cats have started to ban together. The Morag Tong believe in diciplining the mind and the body. They train cats from the age of 5 how to track, hunt, fight, meditate, say code words, how to work as teams. They will train everyday till about the age of 12 moons. Many kits are sent out as bait for the assassins. Using the young cats as a distraction, so that the assassins may get towards their goal quicker. Although there are many other ways to distract as well and it is up to the assassin or assassins to come up with whatever they think would be the best one.

The Morag Tong live and train in places they call. "Sanctuary" Depended on where this sanctuary is, is what name it is called by. Such as " Thunderclan Sanctuary" This would be the spot where assassins from the Morag Tong would come if they have a mission for a cat from Thunderclan. But the main sanctuary is the Shadow Sanctuary. A place were all the Morag Tong live and train.

When it comes time for a misson or "Writs" as it is called are hits for a specific cat, either a leader, deputy, common cat. For cats who wish to take over a clan or a group but dosn't want to get his/her paws dirty. Or having a ex-mate killed without having the need to do it yourself. For whatever reason it may be the Morag Tong will do it. For a small price of crouse, 1 kit per target. The Morag Tong mainly depend on their clients to survive. Because they rarely have time for breeding or mating. Although it does happen sometimes. But these assassin find it much easier the other way around.

The Morag Tong rarely accept outsiders, but they allow outsiders to goes through a series of test to prove that they are worth the training. Outsiders must go to the Grandmaster as well as the four other masters and show at least the Grandmaster and 3/4 Masters that he is worth the training and will serve the Morag Tong with his/her life. For the outsider, he/she goes through a final test of skill, speed and cunning. Once they pass they are allowed to join the ranks of the Morag Tong.

Mentors train would be-assassins either one on one or in groups of 5-6. Bigger training groups are intended a competitive life, where each cat trys to be better than the rest in his class.

There are four Masters and one Grandmaster. The Grandmaster controls the Morage Tong as a whole, but rarely takes on contracts him/herself due to making sure the Morag Tong is in order. The Masters are the ones who give the hits to the assassin depending on who must die and the skills of the assassins. Although the masters can chose to go on the mission with others or by him/herself. When a Master dies, the other Masters and the Grandmaster come together and choose one that has proved themselves as a deadly assassin.

Masters can become Grandmaster in different ways. One would be killing the Grandmaster himself, but you would have to deal with the other Masters as well as vengfull assassins. In which cases you will be a short lived Grandmaster. Two would be gaining the support of other assassins and/or Masters and make the Grandmaster step down. The third is if the Grandmaster is to old, he/she will normally step down and will live the rest of their days in peace or whatever they choose.

The Morag Tong also have spies, unlike the assassins, spies are always on the road and go where ever the Spy Master tells them too. They do and say what must be said and done to gain information. They also catnap and torture in order to gain information about the land, clan, leader and anything else that is note worthy. When the are done spying on that certain group they flee back to the Morag Tong and inform the Spy Master and in turn he informs the Grandmaster.

The Shadow Sanctuary is a connection of small buildings in a forest that has many streams and small waterfalls. These buildings have been long since abandonded but they are still very much intact. Many of the much larger buildings are connected by bridges, at the center of this forest is a shrine to Mephala, their goddess. Many of these buildings have secret rooms and tunnels that are for easy escapes or for count assualts.

The Morag Tong live in a forest that they call " The Hidden Valley". Hidden Valley is a vast forest area that has many streams as well as many small waterfalls. The landscape is colorfull, with flowers of red, yellow, pink etc. Making it a beautiful home to any cat. Summers here are normally cooler than other place, but winter here can be harsh. There are many rumors of small caves and tunnels around the land, most led to dead ends or to the other side of Hidden Valley.

*The food here are, mice, rats, water moles, fish, birds*

Mephala is the goddess of shadows, and stealth, plots and assassination. She is the only god worshiped in the Hidden Valley. She has a very strong presence here as well making each and every Morag Tong assassin a dedicated follower of Mephala. She is known as a stunning sleek black she-cat with silver eyes that always speaks without emotion. This makes its hard for the Morag Tong to tell if she is pleased or not, but many of the older assassins can usually tell.

Those who have been blessed with Mephala's favor seem to get a bit better at stealth as forsighting things. These Morag Tong cats usually stay within the camp and never leave the Hidden Valley unless they must.
