Distrall Organizations

Thieves Guilds: Outer Distrall is home to more than one thieves guild, who vie for control of different parts of the city. They rarely operate in Inner Distrall (too much risk). There are three main thieves' guilds in Distrall.

The Tricksters operate mostly in the Entrance District and Halfaran District, and are made up almost exclusively of halflings; they are an extension of the worldwide Trickster Thieves Guild.

The Dark Knives operate mostly in the Western Docks District, they are known as a group not to be messed with if you want to keep your life, and they compete directly with the Tricksters for territory in the Halfaran District.

The Shadow Brothers are the last, and largest, of the Distrall's thieves guilds. The operate mostly in the Eastern Docks District and the Marketplace District, occasionally venturing in the other areas of Distrall.

Mercenary Guilds: Outer Distrall is home to several different mercenary guilds. While there are many smaller guilds, there are four major ones. These almost always end up engulfing the smaller ones eventually. The major ones are as follows, with the district their headquarters are in in parentheses.

The Bloody Axes (Halfaran District): This group is led by the half-orc barbarian Thask. They like fighting and killing, no job is too bloody for them, and no task is beneath them (for the right price). Not a group for subtle tasks. They run a lot of protection rackets and have been known to work with the Dark Knives thieves' guild.

The King's Sentinels (Gildin District): This is a military organization, through and through. The founder of the group was a former captain of the king's personal guard, and many of the guild's members are former members of the Dardanian army or Distrall city guard. Its current leader is the human Jerrel Valkin. Very regimented, and well trained to work as a group, this is usually the first group the Dardanian army goes to if it needs some additional troops. Over a thousand members strong, this group is truly an army unto itself.

The Hounds Chase Mercenary Guild (Eastern Docks District): This guild is part hunting club, part mercenary guild. Founded and still led by the elven ranger and hunter Orthin Zelthic, this group is available for basic mercenary duties, but it specializes in taking the wealthy and the nobility out on hunting trips for both basic game like deer or bear, and more exotic creatures.

The Adventurous Band of Mercs (Entrance District): This mercenary guild is made up of former adventurers, or wanna be former adventurers. The current leader of the group is the dwarven warrior Garrx the Black Anvil. Due to the wide variety of members (from thieves to spellcasters and warriors), The Adventurous Band of Mercs are capable of a great many tasks.
