Jove must have his thunderbolts. A Prince must have his retainers. A king has his assassins, and the Order of Reason is no different. To implement their new design, the High Artisans need blades to do the cutting and the brooms to sweep away the mess. The Ksirafai ("Razors") are those tools, honed in secrecy and dedicate to the greater good. Although some High Artisans have heard tales of mysterious infiltrators, a Ksirafai never claims allegiance to her sect; as far as the Order of Reason is concerned, the the "Razor Inquisition" is a legend, no more substantial than a shadow on the wall.

  • Jove must have his thunderbolts. A Prince must have his retainers. A king has his assassins, and the Order of Reason is no different. To implement their new design, the High Artisans need blades to do the cutting and the brooms to sweep away the mess. The Ksirafai ("Razors") are those tools, honed in secrecy and dedicate to the greater good. Officially, this group does not exist. The Ksirafai have no Guildhall and do not appear on the rolls or documents of the Order. A "Convention" in the loosest sense, these Magi police the shadows, using infiltration, rumor, seduction and assassination to advance the agenda of Reason. While the Daedalean conceal themselves from mortals, this "Army of Secret Angels" hides within their ranks, master of charm, coercion, perception and obfuscation. It's all too easy to see the Razors as Inquisitors within the Order; but their true purpose is implementation, not orthodoxy. A Ksirafai exists to smooth the Order's path, not to judge a person's loyalty. Her duties include recruiting allies, passing messages, monitoring betrayals, assembling archives (and occasionally purging them), assisting other Daedaleans or their patrons, and subtly disposing of threats to the Order. To assist her, the agent receives special Devices and training in techniques forbidden to most High Artisans. Although some High Artisans have heard tales of mysterious infiltrators, a Ksirafai never claims allegiance to her sect; as far as the Order of Reason is concerned, the the "Razor Inquisition" is a legend, no more substantial than a shadow on the wall.
