"The King of the Black Plain?" That guard looked at Minos, knowing who such a person was, not only from the stories circulating in the Empire but because such a name was always associated with his organization.
Few disciples or low-level members of that sect knew of the hierarchy of the highest echelons in that organization. Many even knew who the sect master and other important elders were, but knowing which families they belonged to was more challenging.
The Miles family case was different since this house had no governing powers in this sect and no high-ranking members. So there was not much secrecy about that family.
But the Coleman family and others in this sect were quite mysterious. Generally, they did not get involved in ordinary matters, which protected their noble name from ending up on the lips of the many members of this sect.
Because of this, few knew why Minos Stuart was associated with this sect, as with this guard.
