Doves

The Doves are a loose-knit cabal of changeling assassins devoted to destroying the Others and their pawns.

Overview
Unlike most militia groups, the Doves are highly secretive, embracing the Lost’s talent for subtlety and misdirection. Unsurprisingly for a hidden organization, the group’s members are mostly Darklings and Wizened of Winter. It acts in a cell structure, each containing two to four changelings. A given cell will only know of one or two others in nearby cities. Rumors of a higher command structure remain unsubstantiated.

Though the organization has noble intentions, its methods are detestable, as is their institutional paranoia. Should an innocent catch wind of the Doves’ existence, they must die. Doves who try to betray the group similarly must die, a certainty bound by pledge. Naturally, prospective Doves who refuse the pledge are killed.

The Doves' Promise
''By blood and breath and olive branch, I swear myself to silence. By heart and soul and promise of safety, I swear to protect the secrets of my brotherhood. No word of us shall pass my lips on pain of death; no whisper of our presence shall escape my vigilance. This I swear upon my heart’s blood and life’s breath. May death come on swift white wings if I prove false. ''
