The Grey Guild

Not a true guild, or even a singular organization, "Grey Guild" is nonetheless used to refer to the interconnected network of thieves, poachers, smugglers, and dealers of illegal and/or ill-gotten goods. They operate by referral, may be a more or less known secret depending on how flexible the local officials are, and generally have a so-called Dragon (a guild leader of sorts) or two in most cities or ruling over each trade route.

"Members" are generally actually members of a legal guild (where they may take advantage of Grey Guild connections to work with others who have similar motives, making it easier for all parties to avoid suspicion) or at least pretend to be (which dodges some risks but introduces others, often worse).
