Clasp CutthrOat

When the thieves and assassins of
the Clasp need to “acquire” addi-
tional funds or “relieve” specific people
of their possessions, their cutthroats
are the first to be called. Clasp
cutthroats can also represent
any number of different rogues
within the thieves’ guilds of
Ta l ’ D or ei.

Clasp enf OrCer

The Clasp prefers to oper-
ate within the shadows,
but sometimes targets of
blackmail need a little
“convincing.” Whenever
scare tactics and brute
force are needed, the
Clasp’s musclebound
enforcers make quite
an impression.
