History

The Seething Sting was founded in 0 RE as a vigilante organization. It consisted of only the best infiltrators, assassins, and mercenaries working to execute justice from outside of the law.

The Seething Sting dealt in taking care of crime mainly within the city of Thutria. As the Keilicaela species grew, so did the Seething Sting; they soon had a facility in every known major city, and snuffed out corrupt politicians, serial killers, grand thieves, and other assorted undesirables. As the organization expanded, opportunistic sects would rise. These sects called for the clan to turn into a contract-based assassination group; "the Seething Sting will eliminate anyone for the right price," it was proposed.

However, those loyal to the initial cause detested the new model, causing much debate in how the group was to be run. Eventually, it was decided that the Seething Sting would be split into two groups: those who carried on with vigilantism, and those who killed for pay; however, the latter must send their contracts to the former so that they may be approved. If the contracts were deemed in opposition to the organization's tenets, as a fair deal of them were, they were rejected and forbidden from being carried out.

Disbandment

In spite of the growing conflict within the organization, the Seething Sting would endure well into the The Post-Reformation Epoch, as Thisposa was recorded being brought into the fold in 933 PRE, making the order positively ancient. It would, however, crumble with the Fall of Namine in 949 PRE.
