The Thieves Guild
The Thieves Guild is an organization for the gathering and training of those who are Thieves. Authorities tolerate the existence of the Guild because the Guild decreases and eliminates the more unstable and dangerous criminals. The Thieves Guild is an organization of professionals who are; thieves, robbers, pickpockets, and smugglers. The Thieves Guild does not have a Public Guild Hall, instead The Guild tends to meet in large towns and gather at secret locations.
Master-Thief
The Master-Thief is the highest achievable rank in the Thieves Guild. Master-Thieves are the leaders of small groups of thieves who control the whole direction of their Guild. Each Master-Thief is in control of their Guild and is the most talented thief mastered in all the forms of stealth. In the event that the Master-Thief dies, a member with a Shadow Runner rank, often a Doyen, will take his place.
Doyens
Doyens are Thieves of the Shadow Runner rank and are next in command to the Master-Thief. The Doyens jobs are to:
1. Give out contracts to other members.
2. Promote members in rank.
3. Identify the Guild Fences.
4. Pay off any bounties and clear criminal warrants on Guild Members.
Fences
Fences are Shadow Runners in the Thieves Guild and are used to buy, sell, and fence Thieves stolen goods in exchange for payment.
Rules and Regulations
Crimes against the Guild are as followed;
1. Murdering a Guild Member or Innocent.
2. Stealing from a Guild Member or Homeless.
3. Being a part of any Law Organization
All crimes against the Guild and its Members are treated with discipline. When a rule is broken, the Member may be stripped from rank and suspended from the Guild. Whether a member may regain their status in the Guild is determined by the Master. The suspension may be lifted at the discretion of the Master. Any Guild Member receiving multiple suspensions will be summarily and permanently dismissed and expelled from The Guild.
Thieves Guild Members cannot steal from or attack fellow Thieves or Homeless. If a Thieves Guild Regulation is broken, a Blood Price may be paid as a punishment instead of suspension. The Blood Price is large payment paid to a Guild Doyen in order to resume duties in the Guild. For certain contracts, the Blood Price may be removed. Only under these circumstances may the Blood Price be broken.
