==Important People==
In addition to the Three Elite Fiends and a large network of associates, five circles make up the core membership of the Hallowed Order of the Grass Spiders. 
These folks aren't part of the Order, but they're recurring, important characters in the ongoing Grass-Spiders history, and it isn't a stretch to imagine our heroes will probably cross paths with them at some point.
 
===Intelligence Community===
===The Lankhmar Harvestmen===
* [[Karal Matsudo]]
In terms of combined age, the Lankhmar Harvestmen make up the senior-most circle in the organization.  Although they are still assigned contracts from the Fiends, they do field work less often than the other four circles in the Order of the Grass Spiders.  Many of them carry out internal administrative work, which includes managing the Order's surprisingly vast network of safehouses and associates in the East and Confederation of Rivers, as well as assisting in the development of new charms, spells, Manses, and so forth.

===The Circle With No Name===
The youngest circle in the organization, this circle has been formed from recently made members of the Order.

Prelude

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Martial Arts

The Hallowed Order of the Grass Spiders has long practiced their own unique brand of martial arts that is tailored to their needs while modeled after the iconic animal that shares their name. The secrets of the martial art are well kept and it's probable that no one outside their organization has much knowledge of it, after all almost everyone who sees it in use does not survive the night. The form is based on the jumping and clinching attacks of the Grass spider and is highly acrobatic and based on surprising the user's enemy.

Name: Eight-Legged Harvest Promenade
Type: Terrestrial Martial Art
Requirements: Martial Arts 2, Athletics 2, Stealth 2
Form Weapons: Ropes & Fighting Chains, Kamas, Daggers & Short Swords (Reverse Grip), Throwing Knives & Darts, Nunchaku, Shruikens, and Improvised Weaponry.
Form Armor: None.

Organizational Info

Important People

These folks aren't part of the Order, but they're recurring, important characters in the ongoing Grass-Spiders history, and it isn't a stretch to imagine our heroes will probably cross paths with them at some point.
