Centurions of the Night

First introduced in Quoth the Raven, Vol.27.

Founded in 751 BC in Kartakass by, among others, the Red Haunt in the wake of the disappearance of Rudolph van Richten; currently based on the island of Castra in the Domain of Malopelagio in the Wartorn Cluster. The Centurions of the Night are an organization of predominantly Evil beings, several of whom are implied to be monstrous in nature. They have long-term plans for all the Demiplane of Dread, namely to first devastate and then rebuild the entire Demiplane into a 'garden of delights' - 'in their own image'.

Most immediate is a plan to spark off a massive war in the Core by means of a false flag operation that will 'pit brother against brother and crown against crown'. The plan also involves letting the war spread to the various Clusters and Islands. Mentions have been made of 'maximizing the deathtoll' by any means available. Chillingly, the war is itself meant as a distraction for enemies not mentioned by name, but implied to be the Dark Powers themselves...
