Guild house

As many of the rooms in the guild house will get non-assassins killed if they wander into them, people wishing to join the guild should read the marble slab in the foyer, which gives directions:

Those interested in joining our organisation should speak to Arlen Laureato who can be found in the study on the second floor, directions as follows:
north, up, east, up, west, south, east

Do not stray from this path or else one of our associates may have 'words' with you.

Cartello

You read the copy of the cartello of the Mano Rossa:
Written in ornately printed letters:

Welcome to the esteemed organisation of the Mano Rossa. The "Red Hands" is a byproduct of the mildly
organised criminal underworld that arose out of the infamous coffee prohibition of Genuan lore. As
such, the Mano Rossa obligates its members, foreign and domestic, and implores upon them the
following:

1. No blood on the carpet (or the lawn, see?)

2. Under no circumstances should you attack or assist in the attack of a fellow Mano Rossarian. Send
any complaints up the line, capiche?

3. Respect the sovereignty of all foreign specialisations and the administrative decisions that
they, well, administer. This of course includes our head-removing associates dwelling west of
Djelibeybi, our lethal-handed comrades of Bes Pelargic, and our backstabbing brethren that call
Ankh-Morpork their home.

If you have issues with one or more of these rules or seek an audience with a Mano Rossarian agent,
then please contact the Don himself via tell or mudmail.

The storekeeper, Timothee, is also a custom outfitter, capable of making a large variety of custom throwing axes.
