This site is dedicated to the Ninja Guild of the Discworld MUD. The Ninja are a secretive and mysterious guild, so I have attempted to provide help and advice without giving away our secrets whenever possible.
Our guild represents a legacy of honour, wisdom, and strength in Agatea. The Ninja are highly trained in a variety skills including martial arts, espionage, and of course assassination. To help better blend into society, Ninja are also skilled in crafts such as the tea ceremony and flower arranging. Most important, every Ninja is bound to one another and the guild by honour and our duty to the sacred task we perform.
An excerpt from the Ninja Guide, found in the library:
"There are two main theories about how the ninja came into being, both linked to the samurai of the Empire.
"In the first theory, outcasts of society banded together against the ruling warrior class - the samurai. It is said that those unwilling to serve the samurai and their lords fled to remote and mountainous regions of the Empire. There they banded together, creating villages and training in the martial arts, espionage, swordplay, assassination and the art of disguise.
"They soon became renowned for their skills and warlords would hire them to perform missions the samurai were unwilling to take.
"The second theory posits that the ninja were specially selected samurai trained in the arts of espionage and assassination.
"Whatever their origins, the ninja of today have found a special niche in Agatean society. They have formalised their teaching methods and codified their ideals. They value honour, amongst themselves most of all, and have adopted a system where one ninja is elected as Sensei to create laws which all ninja must obey.
"While they primarily focus on assassination, or inhuming, as it is also known, they are still taught a variety of other useful skills. They are expected to become masters of Agatean culture and arts so as to better blend in.
"The ninja first became a force for political change in the Hunghung court where assassination was a part of every day life in the great political game. Recognising that even merchants and common citizens have enemies, they have since branched out to other cities, including Bes Pelargic, and offer their services to anyone who can afford them."
