I would have to recommend The Mercenary Guild.
I couldn\'t tell you much about Shadowhand, being them secret and everything.
In The Mercenary Guild, we are an open brotherhood of warriors. We have no reason to fear, for we are the ultimate symbol of neutrality, and do not involve ourselves with petty political disputes, unless we are paid to do so. Currently we\'re having a bit of a time with the transfer of leadership and domain, but there are many great advantages to our guild (you\'ve probably alreadly seen our site). We accept warriors, assassins, thieves, offensive spell-casters, and healers and supportive spell-casters. Plus, we have artists for custom drawn portraits.
It all depends on what your character to be. If you want your character to be a merchant or something while living secret a double-life as an assassin (or something Shadowhandy) choose them. If you want to be a great warrior of great power and wealth, go with us, The Mercenary Guild.
Good luck either way.
