What is Tel’cerlyn Kor?
The literal translation from Aos Si gives a hint as to its history - ‘The Black House.’ The Aos Si never fielded a traditional military, but the noble houses hired private guards and contractually loyal soldiers. They have rarely had to defend themselves against another species; the Chinese subjugated them, and one of those mercenary companies realized things had to change. Accordingly, when those employers die, the contracts need to be redrawn, rewritten, and renegotiated. No agreement in Aos Si society survives the death of one of its contractors.,
The symbol of the Kor is a black, empty circle. Most members receive the tattoo, a permanent mark, above their left breast over their hearts, as a statement about philosophical solidarity with each other and their species; they are servants of an empty house on a permanent contract. In their own eyes, they are liberators, their contract rendered to all Houses and all families. As far as the now-democratic society of their homeworlds is concerned, they are terrorists, gangsters, and thieves.
