Guildmistress: The leader of the guild remains a mystery to the common public Alignment: Neutral Patron: Damocles, God of Chaos Skills: Thievery, Stealth, Poisons, Trapping Location: The location of the Guild of Thieves is a mystery to the unintiated |
The Thieves of Avalon are a unified guild of the Thief profession. In the past, each city had their own guild of thieves - after time the thieves, tired of being lapdogs to the cities, decided to unite and form one guild, loyal to themselves, strengthening the profession and creating much more than a guild - to be a thief became a lifestyle.
They draw members from all cities, all alignments, and all types. Hired for nefarious deeds of sundry sorts, from stealing to spying to assassination, thieves run the gauntlet - making many outsiders uneasy, as they have trouble pinpointing what exactly the Thieves are. The few traits all thieves share, though, they strongly possess - loyalty and dedication to guild and guildmates, a sly nature and crafty mind, and a penchant for making trouble and mischief. The skills of a Thief make them quick, nimble and evasive, as well as deadly. Their mastery of stealth gives them an intense command over the movements of their body, allowing them to be as indistinct as shadows, should they choose to hide. This, coupled with their skill of thievery makes them a force to be wary of, as a determined Thief sees locked doors and protected possession challenges, instead of deterrents. In addition to these two key skills, Thieves can also trap their foes, luring the unwary into ambushes as a hunter would snare its prey. Combined with the ability to pick and prepare deadly poisons, these many skills create a profession that is unmatched in subtlety and cunning. Because of this power, the Guild of Thieves remains a covert operation, guarding their secrets from outsiders. It is said that gaining entrance to their ranks is a near-impossible task, but one that proves very lucrative, should you succeed. |
