The Desert Protectorate has always led a mission of Divine service, to eradicate the forces of magick from the face of Aetherius. However, as the peoples of this world have grown and changed, so have the ways in which this mission must be carried out. No longer would direct force and holy word turn the wicked from their ways. A new method was required, and from the sands of the Shaahri rose a group of individuals with the skills to turn the tide.
Predators by nature, the Abhaen have taken up the cause of the desert peoples of Antioch, to serve in a secretive capacity, entering into enemy territory to cut at their very hearts. Masters of both misdirection and subterfuge, trained in the ways of Knifeplay and tempered by a religious fervor, these desert rogues act in a number of purposes to better the Protectorate and her Divine mission.
