The King's Hunter

"I heard they not only deprived the envoy of his possessions, but they made a show of it, sliced up his mistress and took the man's eyes. A partisan's message to the Sultan or anyone who shows hospitality to the nobles of Hazzir, so they say. Not that it matters now, there's a royal mark on their heads. Khu'Satu is on the hunt and when Khu'Satu hunts, only two things are certain. Men die and his cats get full bellies."

The Asps of Zerkesh "Aye I've seen em, though be beguiled not by their forms, for of those you ask not of three women, but of demons. I heard the mother paid whatever cursed price was staked in their birthing and, as the sisters screamed their way into blood and death, so they have stayed. All have heard tale of their red handed work and the mourning written in their mark. That coin you jostle afore me be as worthless to them as an iron oar to an angler, for it ain't gold nor promises that indebt their service, so as to why they murder who they do? Be damned if I know and I'd wager none but the three themselves could tell you. Though, truth be told, I ain't never heard of none who they put through what didn't deserve it. I've seen men twice the menace o' you go huntin' their hides and shortly leave this world whimperin' an' pleadin', but I've no mind to stop you. Just... if you go, leave the purse. We're not like to speak again an' you won't be needin’ it by tomorrow's dawn."
