Assassin lore in Age of Conan

I have decided to write few posts about Assassins in Conan lore - sadly there are hardly any mentions of them in the books except posioned dagger wielding assassins doing megacide . However Lotus tree of assassin character (my love for lotus is great) seems to be deeply lodged in the books. One of devs even mentioned that assassin char is a combination of two characters - assassin and Lotusist (whatever that means - it suggests heavy lotus usage). Keep an eye out for those updates because I am crunching on those Conan books like there is no tommorow and posting lore bits.
