Conlegium Sicariorum

A Discworld Helpsite by Mortifi

A Dedication:

This site, and everything it is, would not have been possible if I hadn't played Mortifi.

I would never have lasted playing this long, and making this site, without the help of Ayesha.

I remember as a newbie, that Ayesha was always there to help. No matter what role she ran, be it Professor, House Games Organizor, House Mistress, she was always ready to extend a helping hand. She taught me a lot of the things I know about the Disc today, saved my ass a few times, helped me loads on others, and I am extremely grateful for it. She was always ready, approachable, and there.

Now I don't know if you know this, but Ayesha passed away recently. I never got a chance to know her further than that on the MUD, except that she was a mother to her kids, and often had to log off to pick them up from school. But I knew enough of her from the MUD, and I miss her prescence on the Disc more than words can describe.

This site would never have been possible without Ayesha. It is dedicated to her.

If you can, please contribute any memories of your own to a collection being formed by Llylia, our Guild Mistress. Let us not forget all that Ayesha has done for us.

Her account, on the Disc, will persist for more than 30 years. I hope fond memories of her will persist even longer. 

Thanks for taking time to read this, and for any memories you can contribute,

Mortifi

This will be put up on the home page for a month in honour of Ayesha. It will then be moved to it's own page, where it will remain forever.

Welcome

                          


A thumb pressed against two fingers, and the lean figure of Dr Cruces, head tutor [at the Assassin's School], looming over the startled boys.

"We do not murder," he said. It was a soft voice; the doctor never raised his voice, but he had a way of giving it the pitch and spin that could make it be heard through a hurricane.

"We do not execute. We do not massacre. We never, you may be very certain, we never torture. We have no truck with crimes of passion or hatred or pointless gain. We do not do it for a delight in inhumation, or to feed some secret inner need, or for petty advantage, or for some cause or belief; I tell you, gentlemen, that all these reasons are in the highest degree suspect. Look into the face of a man who will kill you for a belief and your nostrils will snuff up the scent of abomination. Hear a speech declaring a holy war and, I assure you, your ears should catch the clink of evil's scales and the dragging of its monstrous tail over the purity of the language.

"No, we do it for the money.

And, because we above all must know the value of a human life, we do it for a great deal of money.

There can be few cleaner motives, so shorn of all pretense.

Nil mortifi, sine lucre. Remember. No killing without payment."

He paused for a moment.

"And always give a receipt," he added.

This site was created Mortifi, from the Ankh-Morpork Assassins' Guild. This is my way of giving back to the society which has welcomed me into this whole new world of fun and adventure.

This is also a way for us to help our fellow Assassins to have a constantly updated source of information. Kudos to Malicious and his wonderful site, outdated but still extremely useful. Some information in our pages have come from his great site, one of the most highly rated on the Disc. We hope to mirror his achievement. We have also taken from others, and thank them for their great help.
