Zriegast Thieves Guild
The Zriegast Thieves Guild, once a formidable force in the criminal underworld, thrived amidst the poverty and corruption of Zriegast. Led by a guildmaster and structured hierarchically with captains overseeing various factions, the guild operated under a code of secrecy and loyalty, albeit with constant internal strife and the ever-present threat of betrayal. Despite their clandestine nature, their influence pervaded the city, shaping its economic and social fabric through illicit activities such as theft, smuggling, and extortion. With a network of safe houses, hidden caches, and informants, they maintained their power and evaded authorities in the pursuit of profit and self-preservation.
Structure
The Zriegast Thieves Guild operated under a hierarchical structure with a guildmaster at the top overseeing various factions led by captains. Each faction was responsible for specific territories or criminal activities within the city, ensuring a degree of specialization and efficiency in their operations.
Culture
Within the guild, members adhered to a code of secrecy and loyalty, fostered by the constant threat of betrayal and punishment for disloyalty. Trust was scarce, and alliances were often temporary, as members sought to advance their own interests within the criminal underworld. Despite the internal strife, there was a sense of camaraderie among thieves, bonded by their shared experiences and struggles in the streets of Zriegast.
Public Agenda
The Zriegast Thieves Guild's public agenda revolved around profit and self-preservation. They engaged in various illicit activities, including theft, smuggling, and extortion, to maintain their power and influence within the city. While they operated in the shadows, their presence was felt throughout Zriegast, shaping the economic and social landscape through their criminal enterprises.
Assets
The guild's assets included a network of safe houses, hidden caches of stolen goods, and a web of informants strategically positioned throughout Zriegast. These resources allowed them to conduct their operations discreetly and evade the authorities, ensuring their continued survival and dominance in the criminal underworld.
Disbandment
The Zriegast Thieves Guild met its demise during the tumultuous events surrounding Father Gabriel's seizure of power in 658DH. As the city fell under his control, he ruthlessly purged criminal elements, viewing them as obstacles to his vision of order and righteousness. Under his iron fist, many guild members were apprehended, executed, or forced into hiding, while others perished in the chaos of Zriegast's transformation into a floating island. The once-proud organization, decimated and scattered, faded into obscurity, leaving behind a legacy of crime and intrigue buried beneath the waves of history.
