Crime and Justice

Beneath the grand alliances and the clashing empires of Thalassara, a darker, more ruthless struggle defines the lives of many. This is a world of immense wealth and profound misery, where crime and corruption are as prevalent as the shifting tides. It is a world where good people fight a constant, desperate battle against the forces of greed and cruelty.

The Scourge of Thalassara

While empires clash, a brutal underworld thrives. This realm of grand banditry is ruled by factions who see the world as their personal hunting ground.

• The Iron Chain: The most feared name in the shadows is The Iron Chain, a ruthless slaver guild that views flesh as mere currency. Operating in the shadows, they prey on the weak through ambush and deception, dragging their victims into a vast black market that caters to depraved nobles, cruel warlords, and powerful mages. Their mark, a broken shackle, is a symbol of misery and lost freedom, and a warning that no one is safe from their grasp.

• The Silent Family: A powerful and ancient criminal empire, The Silent Family dominates Thalassara's underworld. Led by the enigmatic Godfather, whose voice commands absolute loyalty and fear, their influence spans from the grimiest pirate ports to the most opulent royal palaces. They control the flow of enchanted weapons, magical narcotics, and stolen artifacts, enforcing a ruthless code of silence and absolute control over all illicit trade and power.

• Black Maw Brotherhood: Not all pirates are swashbuckling heroes. The Black Maw Brotherhood is a pirate faction known for its sheer brutality and lawless nature. They answer only to gold and chaos, their black sails a dreaded omen of destruction, betrayal, and merciless plunder wherever they appear. They are the true scourge of the seas, feared by merchants and rivals alike.

The Guardians of Justice

However, not all hope is lost. In this dark world, there are those who refuse to let evil win, standing as beacons of justice and hope.

• The Brineguard: A legendary seafaring guild, The Brineguard is comprised of outlaws, mages, and hardened warriors who sail the seas as guardians of the forgotten and avengers of the drowned. They operate outside the law, but for a greater good, punishing tyrants, raiding slave ships, and protecting the weak with a fierce oath and unmatched resolve. They are a legend whispered among the oppressed, a sign that someone, somewhere, is still fighting for them.

• The Sea Wolves: A ruthless mercenary faction, The Sea Wolves specialize in hunting the most notorious pirates. Trusted by merchants and feared by outlaws, they wield swift ships and deadly precision to bring justice to the lawless seas. They are a fearsome force who worship Thalgron, the God of balance and justice, and their devotion to his principles makes them relentless and unyielding in their pursuit of the wicked.
