This document is for the Caste of Assassins. Because their work is technically "outside" the Home Stone's open law—yet a recognized part of Gorean society—this contract is usually a private, coded agreement. It is often hidden or disguised as a "Service Contract" to avoid direct interference by the City Guard.
❖ COVENANT OF THE BLACK BENCH ❖
AR’S STATION (INTERNAL RECORD)
THE SHADOW CONTRACT: This agreement is struck in the silence between the glasses. It is a bond of blood and steel, governed by the Code of the Black Caste. Once the iron is struck and the fee is weighed, the contract is absolute. Only death or the Home Stone’s fall shall annul it.
