	Ankh-Morpork Assassins' Guild - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Assassins' Guild as described in the books (especially Pyramids and the aforementioned diary) is a parody of English public schools, especially as they are portrayed in fiction.
		The Guild of Assassins is located in a light, airy series of buildings opposite the Guild of Fools and Joculators, which is often mistaken for it, being a far more sinister building.
		However, those who do not graduate are generally never seen again; as noted in Wyrd Sisters, the Guild is fond of competitive examination.

	Ankh-Morpork Thieves' Guild - Psychology Central
		The Thieves' Guild moved into the long-vacated Ankh-Morpork Courthouse, and, due to their new obligation to prevent unauthorised theft, quickly became the major law-enforcement body of the city, causing the Ankh-Morpork City Watch to slide even further into the pit of depression they would remain in until Carrot Ironfoundersson's arrival.
		The Thieves' Guild was established early in Lord Havelock Vetinari's rule of Ankh-Morpork.
		Guild thieves must wear appropriate clothing (in the case of burglars this means an eye mask, a flat cap, a stripy jumper and a bag labelled "SWAG"; other specialities have their own uniforms) and speak in thieves' cant, or at least rhyming slang.

	The Assassins' Guild: Unofficial FAQ
		The Cambridge University Assassins' Guild plays a game every Michaelmas and Lent term, in which each player is given the names of other players in Cambridge and has to hunt them down and "kill" them using a variety of simulated assassination techniques such as water pistols, cardboard knives and imitation bombs and poisons.
		Assassins social events that take place during the game are generally ruled out-of-bounds so that people can come along without fear of being killed, and players who want to meet up during the game are quite at liberty to agree between themselves not to kill each other.
		Assassins in general are very sympathetic towards the desire to see one's friends without constantly being in fear for one's life, and take a very dim view of people who break no-kill agreements made for social purposes.

		The Assassins' Guild offers the best all-round education in the world, aided by the Guild library, which is one of the largest in the city.

	The Guilds
		The Assassins' Guild often proves to be a problem for the Watch.
		The Guild consists of a small group of men with the technical skill (in their craft) of a genius, but the imagination of a small burnt pancake.
		An example of this is the Guild clock tower chimes after the other Guild clocks had finished, a statement to all that one day there may be an assassin behind you.

	Terry Pratchett & Stephen Briggs: Discworld Fools' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2000
		Located next to the Ankh-Morpork Assassins’ Guild (discussed in the 2000 diary), the Fools’ Guild is a grim place dedicated to turning people into serious satirists and less savory occupations.
		The information in the Discworld Fools’ Guild Yearbook and Diary 2001 is not as complete as in last year’s entry in the series, but it still in an entertaining diary and eminently usable, should the owner decide to use it as a diary rather than as a source of additional information about the Discworld.
		The fact that the Fools’ Guild has appeared so rarely in the Discworld series means that Pratchett and Briggs had a nearly completely empty slate for creating the background of this organization.

	The Assassins' Guild

		I was born and raised in the Morpork mountains as the daughter of a racehorse breeder and trainer.
		The Guild in its present form however is quite new, with a large, airy guildhall and an excellent reputation for education (among other things).

	The Vetinari Library: The Discworld Companion
		Although the current system in Ankh-Morpork consists almost entirely of 'Guild Justice' enforced by the city's Guilds, it is still the case that criminals taken by the Watch may opt to stand for trail before the Patrician.
		No one is certain why the Patrician, who has a relaxed approach to assassins and thieves, has this particular quirk, but the citizens of Ankh-Morpork seem quite happy to accept it.
		There are Guild laws, administered by the various Guilds and often the cause of friction between them (see Vetinari, Lord), but laws in the modern sense have gone out of fashion in the last several hundred years.

		Power is to some degree shared with the many Guilds of Ankh-Morpork (including legalised Thieves, Assassins and "Seamstresses" and the surviving nobility.

	The Jester's Mask - Extract from the Discworld Companion
		One of the more recent Ankh-Morpork Guilds, although like the Assassins' Guild and Unseen University it is a major exporter of its graduates and has ancient origins among the circus fraternity.
		As with most of the Guilds it is also a hospital, craft standards enforcer, fraternal society and school- although unlike the other Guilds it will not accept for education boys not firmly apprenticed to clownship or Foolhardiness.

		The market is low at the mo, far from its peak 3 years ago when the Assassins' Guild COA was fetching $250.
		It always amazes me that people pay so much for the Assassins' Guild COA when the Seamstresses' COA is so much rarer.
		I think that the representitives of the 'seamstresses Guild' who attended last years Wadfest and Bernards 'Hogswatch event' could in some circumstances be considered as scary as any assassin.

		The Discworld Assassins' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2000
		What sets The Discworld Assassins' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2000 (written by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs, and illustrated by Paul Kidby) apart from other such products is the supplemental material.
		However, what really sets the book apart is the 20-page introductory section which opens with an address by the Guild's headmaster, Lord Downey, and continues to provide a short history of the Guild.

		All assassins had a full-length mirror in their rooms, because it would be a terrible insult to someone to kill them when you were badly dressed.
		Anatomy was an important study at the Alchemists' Guild, owing to the ancient theory that the human body represented a microcosm of the universe, although when you saw one opened up it was hard to imagine which part of the universe was small and purple and went blomp-blomp when you prodded it.

		He'd heard the stories about the Ankh, and he'd certainly smelled the evidence for their probable truth, but they still hadn't prepared him for how gross it was.
		He stumbled, sending an arc of the toxic soup that was the Ankh splashing along his leg.
		If those just happened to be the carriages with the shiniest liveries and the coats of arms of families that would only acknowledge the more respectable gods as relations, well, that was life.
