Guild house
As many of the rooms in the guild house will get non-assassins killed if they wander into them[1], 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. Written in tidy symbols: Assassins, ninja, mano rossarians, hashishim and undecided assassins are currently allowed to enter the restricted areas.

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.

Equipment shop and custom throwing hatchets
In the northern part of Genua, there is an equipment shop for the Mano Rossa. While anyone can get into it, only assassins can buy items there. The entrance is not immediately obvious however and can be slightly dangerous as well.
The storekeeper, Timothee, is also a custom outfitter, capable of making a large variety of custom throwing axes.

Footnotes
- ↑ Although for the brave non-assassin, every enterable room except for the clothes shop is probably safe, but it may still be risky to stick around, anyway.
