Fire Knives

The Fire Knives were an organization of thieves and assassins who grew out of a cluster of exiled noblefolk from Cormyr. After losing the war of insurrection against the Obarskyr family and the Purple Dragons, they settled in Westgate, using that den of scum of villainy to further their plans.

Differences from the Campaign Setting

 * In 1374 DR, the Fire Knives, coordinating with several other groups, attempted to reclaim Cormyr through a mix of intrigue, political bravado and soldiery. (See: Mists of Cormyr).
 * The last of the Fire Knives, Armen Cormaeril, met his demise in a Flying Citadel hovering over the Citadel of the Raven.
 * The Fire Knives were one of several groups involved in the creation of automaton beings, and the only group whose efforts persisted after their first failure (see: Alias of the Azure Bonds). Their second creation was Talis Cormaeril (and his subsequent Shard brethren); Talis's fate is discussed in both Mists of Cormyr and The Chronicles of Amn.
