  • THE ORDER OF TAIBHSE™

    “An gnu pears anta no oifigiuil e?" This is the motto of the Order: Is it personal or official? Before a member draws his sword, he must know the final outcome will be death.

    Pronounced "TEV-sheh", Taibshe warriors are known as 'ghosts' or 'apparitions'. Members are masters at misdirection, the art of deception in which the attention of an onlooker is focused on one thing in order to distract his attention from another. They can move freely...unseen...among their targets without detection.

    The Order, itself, is a time-honored membership of male warriors who have been tested in the cauldron of adversity and found worthy of joining. His sponsor must be a member in good standing and he must pass a rigid Code of Conduct testing as well as a thorough background check. All members are Deathwielders, Scythelords, and Windwarriors: expert swordsmen who can kill without batting an eye. Only the most elite among their classes may ask for admittance into the Order. Founded by Prince Ashlin Druaightagh of the Scaan, there are only two rules of the Order:

    (01. Sworn secrecy of the Order's Agenda.

    (02. A member must never draw his sword unless he intends to slay his opponent. There is no wounding of his enemy, only death. When he pulls the sword free of its scabbard, he must ask himself if it is for personal or official reasons. If it is official, there is no question. He does what is expected of him and takes his opponent down. But if it for personal reasons, he must decide if the taking of a life warrants the offense he is avenging. The inscription upon his blade is a reminder to think before he acts for once drawn, the blade must mete out death.


    The swords wielded by members of the Order of Taibhse are razor-thin. The blade of that weapon is so thin and so sharp it can not be seen by the naked eye. Upon contact with living matter, an electrical current is generated and the edge of the blade will cauterize nerve endings and blood vessels instantly. We speak of bloodless killing.

    The Initiation into the Order is called the Toshiaght and is held on Gaoithe.
