Subterfuge

In Game Description

Subterfuge is the art of moving around stealthily, acting nimbly and dexterously to avoid your hunters or close in on your prey.

Those skilled in this art can move freely through hordes of enemies, closing in on their unaware and unprepared targets. A master of the art can become a great assassin, or a simple recluse... Anything solitary is the realm of those nimble of foot and stealthy of tread.

Learning

Subterfuge is taught by The Thieves Guild and The Bard's Guild.
