Shadow League
The Shadow League (さどう りぐ, Kage Renmei) is a powerful organization of assassins that specialize in mixing the art of assassination with the magical arts. The assassins of this faction are, by conventional terms, labeled as dark mages and criminals as their main line of work is assassination, however, they only kill the "corrupt and evil". From powerful mafia bosses to corrupt politicians to fearsome dark mages wreaking havoc in some far away land, their targets are solely those that thrive among the underbelly of the world of magic and the criminal underworld in and of itself. The Shadow League's history dates far back, making this society of assassins centuries old. The exact date of this organization's founding is, in fact, unknown. The League's mission, in its purest form, has been to be the "sword of justice"; this has not changed since its' conception centuries ago. As an extensive network of assasins, they are known to take out targets without even being detected at times. Their methods are cruel and their convictions are iron clad, each and every assassin does not falter in completing a missions regardless of the means. They have an expansive intelligence network that spans continents, however, they lurk in shadows far from the public eye, true to their namesake.

It is important to note that the Shadow League does not operate in the Kingdom of Fiore, to avoid contact with its' powerful military and the exceptional guilds located in that nation. While they have had no issue evading the pursuit efforts of the Magic Council, the organization is extremely reluctant to send in any operatives, regardless of skill level, into Fiore. Though the specifics are not clear, and unbeknownst to most, the Shadow League holds old ties to the House of Xava. As said before, the assassins of this organization have over the centuries perfected their own style of assassination that incorporates the magical arts extensively. From spells that allow one to mimic the voice of any person to negating the pain of physical torture or even controlling one's heart beat, their assassination skills are peerless and of the highest class.
