Deep in the forests of a foreign land, Osman looks off in the distance admiring the new stronghold he has established. He is a Fabricator of Secrets, true to his name. Whether by gold, magic or other means he makes it so. The stronghold stood tall and eclipsed the city below yet the ancient forest stood taller and hid it from view. It is a perfect location for the Covenant of Secrets to start anew. Osman had been fortunate unlike most members of the Covenant. They were an unfortunate collateral in a war they didn't want to be in. It all happened so fast; the light, the explosions. All the elder members rushed out to counter the blast with their magic. None of them made it. Their temple, obliterated. Osman is not a complete neophyte, he grew up in the Covenant. He took no interests in the Secrets like a good acolyte. He followed the senior Fabricator all his life hoping to inspire to the same greatness. He looks around at his comrades, all apprentices not more than a month ago now they must stand tall to lead the Covenant to greatest.

"The deed is done. I hope the ravens find our new Grandmaester. Someone has been scattered since that fateful night." Lamon studies Osman. He knew full well who the new Grandmaester was. It was his job to keep tabs on everyone. But Osman should not know. His blood pumped faster as he waited in anticipation.
He took his new post very seriously. No one liked a prying hand but that was his job as was those before him. They ensured only the right people had the right information. If something was amiss, that individual was removed.. permanently.

"I hope so too. You can't be too sure in this new land. How do the ravens know where to go? They are new to this land as as we are."
Osman could feel Lamon's judging eye peeling him layer by layer. This wasn't the first time but it's something he gotten used to a bit more.

"Come now loosen up. We are all friends here. We're one of the few who managed to escape. We should be getting along. Come Lamon we haven't talked in ages, let's catch up."
It was true indeed. All three of them entered the covenant together. Krovax was the oldest and acted like a big brother. Osman and Lamon used to get along so well, best friend even. Eversince Lamon joined the silencer sect it hasn't been the same. But Krovax understood the need and the tension. People may hate the silencers but they enforced the laws of secrecy. The covenant would not function without them.
He beckoned both of them down and into the city to relax.

"Com'n. Loosen up. It's not like you have anything to hide." He snickers.
"How has you been all these years? Remember when we chased that baby troll in the tunnels? I can't believe we lived through that." He bursts up in laughter.

"I spotted a beautiful tavern not to deep in the city. Let's head there and celebrate." Krovax could feel the tension mounting. Osman's passive aggressive comments did not help ease the tension.
"I can't wait to break in new disciplines like they did with us when we first joined." trying to change the subject.
