Other groups have done something similar with the Sultansworn and the Red Wings. Lore should be respected when it comes to playing law enforcement and dealing with criminal rp, in all aspects if possible. And as far as I know, I'm not seeing much evidence to say that it is viable, but that could also be that I don 't have enough information, or enough information is given by SE. From what little information there is, it might be better off having origins with the Twin Adder.
Part of my reasoning for making this is to gather some support and help for fleshing it out. I apologize if I didn't make that clear. I get what you're saying by having it under the Twin Adder, but, I do feel that the Twin Adder are a little more wordly--which does help with pieces of the RP, yes--But, I did want to do something more "Shroud-centric".
I imagine that, while out in Ul'dah xyz of the Blah-branch of the Wood Wailer/Gods' Quiver finds a criminal doing something bad and pursues. However, having zero jurisdiction in Ul'dah because of the Red Wings, and Sultansworn and Brass Blades and what have you, the member is arrested along with the original criminal, causing tension between the groups.
Basically, what I mean to say is, I would much rather have this group only have power and 'control' of the shroud and it's laws.
To build upon what you were saying about lances and mercenary and stuff. I feel that it could be something like that? I wouldn't want to restrict people to only use certain weapons, so, perhaps we are a mercenary-like branch of the Wailers/Quivers.
Again, I am mostly just asking for some friendly ideas, possibly some help building on the idea, and the like.
Also, as I am dumb and do not know how to quote two people, what ExKage had to say is something I already understand. I used to play on a very strict Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas RP server. If you were ever caught meta-gaming or anything of the sort, you were banned for life, basically. And, if you wanted to do some big bank robbery RP, you had to clear it with the mods of the server and the police officers on the server. So, I get the communication thing 1000%
