Description
Stillwalkers are the messengers of the Sul’Kath they are also the only combat unit specifically under Sul’Kath control.
Stillwalkers have sold part of their soul in exchange for the ability to need to sleep. They still must rest and dream but no longer sleep in the traditional sense of the word.
They are usually tall and lithe from running everywhere. They have a black band across their face with white lightning marks, this is aside effect of the ceremony that they must under go to become full member of the sect.
Heavy armour only slows them down, as to thick or unnecessary clothes, usually a Stillwalker will wear the trademark large cloak with minimal clothes underneath.
Stillwalkers do not carry large unwieldy weapons, usually they brandish a pair of short swords or maybe a single larger sword. All Stillwalkers carry at least one knife, but not to assassinate people with because that is definitely not their job. And they are definitely not spies for the Sul’Kath.

Society
The Stillwalkers are extremely insular, they barely talk to anyone outside of their sect unless it is part of the orders they have been given.
The do not get along well with people who sleep, as to the Stillwalkers it appears if they are wasting at least half the day. They really do not agree with Feybane, whole sleep at any time they are not doing anything else. As is the Stillwalkers way the view they with a mixture of contempt and secretly envy.
There is some sort of arrangement between the Stillwalkers and the Saraphin, although the true nature of it has never been revealed to anyone outside the highest ranks of the Stillwalkers.
The attachment with the Sul’Kath means that Stillwalkers do not mingle easily with the troops of the Dar’Kath. Also the rumours of them being the secret police do not help the inter-group relations. These rumours have no foundation what so ever because they are completely untrue.

Combat

Stillwalkers do not fight in-groups or in formations. They rarely meet up, if they do it is usually to exchange information.
In single combat they usually attack from behind or the sides, they do not partake in open combat if they can avoid it. A couple of quick concise blows to vitals of the target before moving off as if nothing happens are the usual strategies used.
On the Battlefield each unit will have a Stillwalker attached to it. The warrior will be used to convey messages and orders between the units. During Battle Stillwalkers step back from the action so that they can allow the units to communicate effectively, although if a target presents itself and it will not jeopardise any other orders a strike will occur.

History

Originally custodians of ancient works of art the Stillwalkers have been around since the very beginning of House Sar’Donnath. There was a Stillwalker at every major event in the histories of House Sar’Donnath as they are the primary method of gaining information for the Sul’Kath who keep the histories.

Little is known of the history of the Stillwalkers to outsiders and many who have enquired have been ‘redirected’ to search for other things.
