The Temnota Group

The Temnota Group (Czech for "Darkness") is an organization in Tales of the Century that uses questionable methods in dealing with supernatural and otherworldly threats. In methodology and attitude, they are diametrically opposed to The Century, but still on the same side.

There is no telling how long the Temnota has been operating, Reportedly, the Council is made up of forgotten and retired gods. John Chang's handler, Ms. Fisher, might actually be a Valkyrie or Siren.

Their device is a black-and-white checkerboard behind a dark and lidless eye.

Armory and Equipment
Cell phones issued by the Temnota are apparently indestructible.

At the Shadow Keep, a medieval-style fortress in the wilds of Texas, they keep an arsenal of weapons both mundane and mystical. They're never identified direclty, but a few of the highlights in the armory are:


 * A matching pair of Freedom Arms M83 .41 caliber handguns that don't miss.
 * A flaming angelic sword (issued to Fringe) that disappears until activated.
 * Gauntlets and a short-handled hammer
 * A Greek spear etched with lightning
 * An unidentified Japanese katana
