Born from a lone line of ancient Iruvian sword arts, The Red Sashes began life in Doskvol as a sword-fighting school for the Iruvian nobility. As fortunes changed, the school opened the door to more of Doskvol's inhabitants and what was once an exclusive and prestigious salon of swordsmanship has become a privileged nest of rich killers and their less wealthy partners-in-crime.
Several members of the Red Sashes are the sons and daughters of Iruvian nobility and diplomats in Doskvol. They train in swordplay at the school that is the faction's headquarters and sometimes participate in gang activities. Their families are powerful and will commit significant resources to punishing anyone who harms their children.
The leader of the Red Sashes is Mylera Klev. An example of how different the modern day Sashes are, she originally hails from the streets of Akoros. Or at least that's one of the stories. Others tell of a Sevorosi princess on the run, or the illegitimate daughter of an Iruvian noble. Whatever her true origin, she is a shrewd, ruthless and highly educated woman, capable of surgical strikes against her enemies.
The Red Sashes operate a handful of high-end drug dens and brothels across Crow's Foot and the Docks. Like Baz and the Lampblacks, Mylera aims to use the confusion of the Crows leadership situation to finally firm up control of her turf, and maybe make a play for Crow's Foot itself.
