    Operation Red Steel - Scarlet Agents

    Very nice article Smile

    I especially like how the inner workings are given; enough detail to add a sense of a reality and professionalism for the SB network while still being adaptable to any game.

    A minor point; the references to "Sea Barons" under Uncle Pramas and Scarlet Guard should read "Sea Princes", unless I am mistaken.

    Nice job Wink

    Was I the only one who had an urge to bellow out "Wolverines!" while reading that?

    Good article. Very informative. I never knew that the Scarlet Brotherhood had so many fingers in so many pies.

    Absolutely Wink

    The SB has been secretly building a network for centuries; it was hinted in the LGG that some agents were exposed after the wars to safeguard the more important ones.

    I especially like the use of mundane means such as birds for messages to keep the article grounded in realism often the fantasy is the easy way out; such as cystral balls but that would be hardly cost effective.

    The mention of scarlet sign marking even comes tSb, Pramas discontinued use only for deep uncover agents, nice detail. Shows the father is not all powerful within the homeland, plenty of politicking.

    Hey, thanks guys.

    I should point out that Kossoth Van was the agent that issued the ultimatum, not Kain Sharess.

    I can not edit that currently, as I am away from home and my admin account is IP adress protected.
