The Shadeborn Den
In the twisting alleys along the eastern wall of Dum Ramil, hidden behind faceless doors and beneath the very streets themselves, lies the Shadeborn Den—the heart of the city’s thieves’ guild. A maze of tunnels, hidden chambers, and concealed passageways, this is where Dum Ramil’s underworld thrives, unseen yet ever-present.
The Masters of the Shadow Trade
The Shadeborn are more than common thieves; they are smugglers, assassins, spies, and brokers of forbidden knowledge. Every black-market deal, every stolen relic, and every whispered betrayal eventually finds its way to the Shadeborn Den. Here, debts are paid not just in gold, but in favors, secrets, and silence.
The guild is ruled by a council known as the Black Hands, a circle of enigmatic figures whose true identities are known only to a select few. They enforce the guild’s laws with ruthless efficiency, ensuring that betrayal within their ranks is met with a fate worse than death.
A Place of Risk and Opportunity
For those willing to risk it, the Shadeborn Den offers services that cannot be found elsewhere:
- Forgery and false identities for those seeking to disappear.
- Fences who deal in stolen relics and contraband.
- Assassins whose blades never miss their mark.
- Information brokers who trade in whispers more valuable than gold.
Yet, no deal comes without consequence. Those who fail to honor their word are never seen again.
A Den That Breathes With the City
The Shadeborn’s reach extends far beyond its walls. They know what the Council does not, they hear what rulers wish to keep silent, and they influence Dum Ramil in ways that even the most powerful figures cannot ignore. To be in their debt is to walk a knife’s edge, for the Shadeborn have long memories—and longer knives.
"There is only one law in the Shadeborn Den: You may enter of your own will. But whether you leave is never your choice."
