===The Web of Knives’ Key Operations:===
1. <b>The Assassination of “Life Anchors”:</b> Kyros’ assassins are directed—often through shadowy intermediaries—to eliminate individuals tied to the Weave's preservation. These targets are known to Durnstang's agents as "Life Anchors," individuals whose mere presence in society stabilises the Weave. They include wise leaders, scholars of resurrection magic, druids protecting sacred groves, and clerics who oversee funeral rites. Kyros sees these as high-profile, politically motivated killings meant to create fear and distrust among surface-dwellers, but the true intent is to weaken the structures that bind the Weave.

2. <b>Weaving Shadows of Civil War:</b> The Web of Knives excels at planting the seeds of distrust, inflaming rivalries among noble houses, and igniting rebellion within kingdoms. Kyros focuses on creating internal strife in regions with strong ties to nature or life-based magic, such as verdant kingdoms or forested territories ruled by elves and druids. By subtly fueling civil wars or power struggles, he creates an atmosphere where life is diminished, and the Weave frays under the pressure of large-scale death and destruction. Durnstang benefits from the unraveling of life’s cycles through these conflicts.

3. <b>Undermining Magical Sanctuaries:</b> Kyros has been hired to strike at key magical sanctuaries—locations where the Weave is reinforced through ancient rites, usually led by druids or clerics tied to cycles of life, death, and rebirth. These places, hidden in ancient forests, mountains, or even deep within the Underdark, are safeguarded by magical wards. Kyros believes he’s simply eliminating valuable assets of his enemies or taking out ancient power centers that could threaten his rise, but Durnstang’s agents guide these attacks to strategically disrupt the Weave's anchors.

4. <b>Dark Networks of Espionage and Influence:</b> The Web of Knives runs a vast network of spies, infiltrators, and informants embedded within the courts, guilds, and temples of the surface world. Kyros uses this network to manipulate politics and blackmail influential leaders. While Kyros sees himself as weaving a complex web of influence to slowly destabilise surface kingdoms for the Drow’s eventual benefit, Durnstang's agents ensure that the information gathered by these spies is also used to identify weak points in the Weave. Durnstang’s other agents then exploit these vulnerabilities to further the erosion of life’s stabilising forces.

5. <b>Trafficking of Soul-Bound Relics:</b> The Web of Knives has recently begun acquiring and trafficking powerful magical items tied to the essence of life and death—relics that store souls, artifacts from ancient death cults, and enchanted weapons used by resurrection mages. Kyros believes these items are valuable for their monetary worth or their utility in assassinations, but they are far more dangerous. Many of these relics have been tainted by the necromantic energies of Durnstang’s agents and, when used, they corrupt the Weave itself, feeding more power into Durnstang’s grand plan to break the cycle of mortality.
