The Silent Executioners were deployed immediately, their presence felt but never seen. Each was assigned to patrol key locations within the Amber Heavens Empire—important borders, strategic military outposts, and the heart of Emberhaven itself. They required no rest, no sustenance, and answered only to Lyrus.
The first test of their efficiency came within days. A team of spies from the Aetherion Ascendancy attempted to breach the Amber Veil using enchanted artifacts. The Silent Executioners intercepted them with terrifying speed. Before the spies could react, the Executioners moved as shadows, dismantling the intruders without a sound. Their bodies were left as a grim warning at the border.
Word of these shadowy protectors spread quickly. Whispers of "ghosts" and "death bringers" guarding Amber Heavens reached the ears of the rival empires, further cementing the empire's growing reputation as impenetrable.
