The Kabal of the Poisoned Tongue is the personal Kabal of Lady Malys, and are by far the sneakiest and dirtiest players in the political games in Commoragh, specializing in Just As Planned so insidious and cruel it'd make even Tzeentch take pause.

Origins and Organization

The Poisoned Tongue is led by Lady Malys, full of Trueborn just like her, who've decided to be the entire race's Starscream. They are constantly redirecting, misdirecting, lying, and backstabbing nearly everybody in their way, and even those who are nominally on their own side. Their rivals can never truly get a beat on them thanks to their constant plotting and politiking, and when they think they have, it turns out they got put into a fight with another Kabal entirely, usually one of the Poisoned Tongue's "Allies", and their leaders "suddenly" end up ventilated by unknown forces. They're so good at lying about shit and misdirecting things that even when the Kabal actually fails to carry out their aims, they end up just shifting the blame so expertly that Archons have been known to get absolutely torn to shreds by their own Kabal, even if they did nothing wrong themselves. While normally this would mean almost any Kabal with a brain would immediately try and gang up on the Poisoned Tongue, their very close ties to Asdrubael Vect's Kabal ensures that even if one of their foes gets close, they inevitably end up in Vect's sights.

So second nature to the Poisoned Tongue is lying and fooling their prey that it's even part of their combat strategy on the very off-chance they actively fight themselves; creating false flag signs of an attack, committing mass poisonings, false signatures of their craft, and always finally attacking their prey from an angle they least suspect while their guard is up in a different direction, and carrying off their captives with a wicked smile.

Current Events

During the Gathering Storm events, Vect got merk'd briefly, and pretty much everybody turned their heads towards Malys and the Poisoned Tongue with their hands on their hips, assuming that they had something to do with this (and let's be honest, they absolutely did. Why else would Vect kick his bodyguards out just before getting killed?). Malys, perhaps using some of that totally-not-psyker level intellect of hers, took the entire kabal out of Commorragh to watch and wait from the Webway. Her decision was vindicated, as Archons by the dozens fell as Vect rose again, and he picked up his "Dark Muse" title, and he took fierce control of the city. For now, the Poisoned Tongue waits, and watches from the shadows, ready to strike at the nearest opportunity.
