The Bones Marrow

The largest thief guild in Aridell with over 5000 active members or associates in and around the Darkweld Area. Their headquarter is a large monochrome tower in the middle of Darkweld and it houses both legitimate businesses and illegal misconduct. They are currently in a two-front war against The Coalition  to the north and The Golds Gallow  to the south as both the other organizations are expanding rapidly. The Bones Marrows placement in Darkweld, where the law is naught have opportunities that the others don't. They are not openly a criminal underbelly but the obvious suggestion has become a large part of their success.

Structure

The Bones Marrow operates in a pyramid fashion where the names of those above are unknown and only nicknames are used openly. Illegal activity is hidden in plain sight during festivals, arena fights, casino gambling, and regular market place activity. A member of The Bones Marrow is connected to a cell of about 10 other people where 1 person is the leader. The leader bears a false face and name at all times and reports directly to a smaller cell of people higher up the chain. The leader of a cell knows only one member of another cell and all contact goes through this system of cells, nicknames, and subterfuge before it ends up at the top. No one knows who runs The Bone Marrows and it has been one of the many reasons as to why the rival guilds have not yet overrun Darkweld.

Culture

The Bones Marrow is less of a single culture and more of a collection of differing ones. Because of the loose ties members have to the guild each cell and their surroundings harbor different cultures. Though one repeating cultural phenomenon is that disloyalty often leads to death or disappearing.

Public Agenda

To the outside world, The Bones Marrow is a gambling haven and a broker agency. Also to the outside world, it is a crime venture the size of a medium city. It does not hide this fact well because it doesn't need to. Merinda Ironwill and her goons The Drowned have a symbiotic relationship with The Bones Marrow. To which degree is not well known however.
