Dang, I didn't consider it until reading this comment sections, but they really might be A-B testing assassin organizational structures. I can't wait for the vol.8 reveal that Fable and Rumor are both actually run by a UX designer.
On another note, I highly recommend 90s boom bap instrumentals for reading 'The Fable'. I like how the vocal samples are at times street hardened, sometimes silly, and always non-chalant. Very much matches the vibe of 'The Fable', which also carries those qualities.
Something like these playlists.
