The Severed Tongue Contracts

By Shadow, By Steel, By Silence

Let it be known that from this moment forward, the one who signs below is no longer who they once were. Their past is dust, their name forgotten. They step into the shadow and take upon themselves the burden of silence, the weight of death, and the price of loyalty.

Terms of Induction:

The Name is Severed – You will discard your old name and take one of your choosing. This is the only name the guild will know you by.

The Tongue is Silent – The guild’s business is never spoken of beyond its walls. No contract, no secret, no whisper shall pass beyond those who walk in shadow beside you.

The Blade is Steady – You kill only as the contract demands. Personal vendettas and reckless killings invite ruin upon us all. Your blade belongs to the guild, and it will not waver.

The Contract is Law – Once a contract is accepted, it must be completed. Failure is weakness. Betrayal is death.

The Blood Price – Should you betray The Severed Tongue, your life is forfeit. No corner of Azeroth will hide you, no wall will keep you safe.

By signing below, you surrender your past and take your place among us. You are no longer a wanderer, no longer a lost soul. You are shadow. You are silence. You are death unseen.

Signed: [New Chosen Name]

Let it be known that on this day, under the veil of secrecy, an agreement is forged between the undersigned parties. One, henceforth referred to as the "Contractor," seeks the removal of a specified target. The other, henceforth referred to as the "Assassin," shall carry out the will of the Contractor under the following terms:

1.Target Identification

The Contractor shall provide a full and accurate description of the intended target, including name, known affiliations, appearance, and last known whereabouts. Failure to provide sufficient detail may void this contract.

2.Terms of Execution

The Assassin shall ensure the target is eliminated in a manner befitting the request. Methods may include but are not limited to: poisoning, blade work, arranged accidents, or other means at the Assassin’s discretion.

3.Secrecy and Non-Disclosure

Neither party shall speak of this contract beyond what is necessary to complete its fulfilment. Should the Contractor or Assassin breach this secrecy, retribution may be enacted at the discretion of the aggrieved party.

4.Compensation and Payment

The agreed-upon sum for services rendered shall be [insert amount here] in gold, rare artifacts, or services of equal value. Payment shall be made [upfront/upon proof of completion/partial upfront, remainder after confirmation], with failure to pay resulting in consequences as deemed appropriate by the Assassin.

5.Failure or Termination

Should the Assassin fail to complete the contract due to extraordinary circumstances, compensation may be renegotiated. However, should the Contractor attempt to withdraw the contract after execution has begun, payment in full shall still be required.

6.Finality of Death

Once the contract is fulfilled, the matter is closed. The Contractor may not seek retribution or renegotiation once the target is slain. Any attempt to alter the contract post-execution will be considered a new request and subject to new terms.

By signing below, both parties acknowledge their consent to these terms, binding them by blood and shadow.
