The Ledger

Structure and Goals
A thieves guild operating throughout Acios. Main sources of income are smuggling, piracy, and the selling of secrets. They require any pickpockets and street thieves that are acting in Ledger controlled cities or towns to pay a tithe to the guild. This tithe can be through information or money, both of which will be added to the guild’s large ledger, their namesake. They also run brothels, illegal gambling dens, and engage in many other illicit activities. It follows the structure of a mafia family, currently being run by the Gaspard crime family. A member of the Ledger thinks of himself or herself as a member of a very large family and relies on the network for resources and security. However, members are granted the autonomy to pursue their own interests and gain some measure of personal wealth and influence. The Ledger has a few beliefs that guide its members behavior: "The Ledger is your family. You watch out for it, and it watches out for you. You are the master of your own destiny. Never be less than what you deserve to be. Everything and everyone has a price." Their motto is: “Join us and prosper. Oppose us and suffer.” The Ledger holds many secrets of the universe within their vast book which is sealed and magically protected within their headquarters in the Free City of Thirgos. Any information in the book can be had for a price. An incredibly high price for the most coveted of secrets.
