Oooh I love it!

But OH! You just reminded me of an aspect I totally forgot about! I'll try and remember to add it to the intro bit, but I'll also say it down here! Once a month, there is a gathering outside of the City of Match by members of all five groups. It occurs within a vast barn that is co-owned by the leader of each of the groups. This is the setting of what is known as The Ring. Basically, a mini-Olympics for the enjoyments and pride of these assassins. Each group is allowed to offer up their champions into the Ring, where they are pitted against the champions of opposing organizations in non-lethal combat.

Basically, it's a time for everyone to peacefully (ish) show off their abilities and their strengths to one another and let their people enjoy a bit of sport. Leaders are not specifically [i]required[/i] to attend, and those who do may feel free to avoid announcing themselves to keep their identity a secret.
