[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6259061, member: 92305"] I am thinking of including a lightly powered Thieves Guild in Messantia that will be at odds with the PCs. Almost every profession has a guild--why not a secret one, devoted to thieves, patterned after the major guilds? I'm sure, with Messantia's sordid history, that there must have been a society of smugglers for hundreds of years. But, then again, Argosseans do not look kindly at traditional thieves. The people of Argos take their wealth seriously, and they believe in a fair day's wage for a fair day's work, and all that. So, I'm thinking of a thieves guild that is not that powerful, but trying to make its mark among the night crawlers. And...maybe they've just made an agreement with the Red Hand? This would give the Thieves Guild some new found strength. I know little about the Red Hand at this point. I think it was Iron Shadows in the Moon that they were mentioned. And, that was on the Vilayet. Does the Red Hand operate in the Western Ocean? I remember them in Tortage in the Age of Conan online game. If not, then maybe they're trying to establish a presence on this coast? Questions, questions. [/QUOTE]
