The sisterhood is shrouded in mystery amongst the local people, and not very much is known about the organisation. It's known the ORder was started some hundred years ago with the help of the [[Horadrim]], who pledged the Sisters to guard the pass from Khanduras (and Tristram) to the East. They upheld this pledge until about 20 years ago, when their monastery was invaded by [[demon]]s, and many Sisters corrupted by [[Andariel]]. The sisters Sisters employ a religious/military structure and is at least to some extent interested in gathering monetary riches, although this might be the goal of individual sisters rather than the sisterhood Sisterhood itself.
Known only as wandering {{iw|Rogue Rogues}} in the West, the Sisters conceal their secret affiliation by posing as simple travellers. Many pompous fools have made the mistake of underestimating these steel nerved women in combat and paid a terrible price for their vanity.
The strange events taking place in [[Tristram]] 20 years ago caught the attention of many sisters, who travelled long and far to test their skills against the dark evil that was said to be lurking in Tristram. The promise of untold riches waiting to be discovered among the ruins of the [[Tristram Cathedral|ancient cathedral]] was also a motivating factor.
After the events in Tristram, the demon [[Andariel]] invaded the ancient home of the sisterhood, and corrupted or killed many of the sisters. From the Sisterhood, the strongest warriors chose to follow. The remaining rogues set up a [[Rogue Encampment]] that was used by a group of heroes to launch an attack against the demon lord lady and retaking the monastery.
The close friend of Commander [[Kashya]] was part of the expeditions to Tristram, and returned a changed woman. She was corrupted by the demonic forces found in the labyrinth and became known as {{iw|Bloodraven}}, turning against her sisters.
