The Gilded Knife is a mercenary subsect of the [[Free Dominion]].

The Gilded Knife is a mercenary subsect of the Free Dominion. While most of the other factions focus on outright combating the Sihian court, this subsect provides necessary services throughout Beacon Space, taking on contracts and being the face of the Dominion to the rest of the sector, accepting quests and consisting of more charismatic individuals than usual. They take on quests, much the same as the main force of Sihians, providing confusion about if the terrorist organization is really a terrorist organization. The Gilded Knife is also home to two fairly important Orders. [[The Order of the Shattered Fae]], and the [[Order of The Umbral Forge]].

Often, if the Sihian knights find members of the Gilded Knife on contract, they will pause and attempt to eradicate the opposite side, the victors continuing on the contested quest.

==Origin==
==Origin==
The Group was formed by Lady Katina Magi, a former Starlit Court Grandmaster years prior to The Dachia Crisis as a small resistance force. When the dominion members were exiled from The Starlit Court, Kitina lead a large band of soldiers and civilians in a flotilla into the larger sector, eventually finding the abandoned mining colony ripe for the taking which they called New Haven. The group struggled to survive, trading what little resources they could mine inside the asteroid’s core to trade for food and medical supplies. Many died from starvation, and lack of proper medical supplies and clean water.

This was the case until Lady Astrid McAngus-Sethdragon, Lady Elenore Von Bathory and their entourage arrived in their flotilla of vessels searching for a new base of operations a year after the crisis that had gotten them exiled. While Kitina had formed the basis of what would become The Gilded Knife, it would not fully take shape until a few years later when Astrid would slay Kitina in an honour duel to the death after she questioned Astrid’s true loyalties. While many were skeptical, a large enough group of the people had praised Astrid for freeing them from Kitina’s incompetent leadership. While she wouldn’t go on to lead the group singularly right away, the prestige she gained led to her holding a great deal of pull over the two remaining power structures, Lady Syr Sarahlee Brenner The Grandmaster of the Umbral Forge and The Grandmaster of the Order of the Shattered Fae. The three would form a council with the assistance of Countess Bathory who would later leave, returning to her base on Dachia.

The UID is the primary spy network operated by The Gilded Knife aka ''The Dragon’s Maw''.


They are spread out across the sector, including on Sihi, The Leviathan and Crucible. They funnel information, supplies and personnel back to the Fortress of Kamelot. The spies mostly operate solo, blending in with the locals of their assigned locations. On rare occasions, the UID will send lances of spies to investigate possible leads or high-value targets, usually, they will usually acquire disguises to blend into whatever local police force or military a planet might have in the event a planetary government is protecting a highly valued target.
