Warfare involves more than just the clash of armies; intelligence gathering and unsettling public sentiment are key factors that determine victory or defeat. The entire Hou Clan, including the Black Feather Guards and especially their own White Feather Guards, are the most elite Martial Artists of the Hou lineage.

Assigning them to intelligence gathering and rumour-spreading missions is simply perfect.
