The Myriad



       The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood.

Background
The Myriad is officially known as a criminal organization by the law enforcement of the Council, but is rumored to also be a cult that still worships the Primordial Overlords in secret. The organization operates out of eastern Luceana and holds some degree of influence in all of the city states of the Council.

High-ranking members of the Myriad are nearly untouchable by official law enforcement; the organization makes generous "donations" to the legitimate authority. It is even whispered that their influence may even reach to the Council of Magi itself. Members and associates of the Myriad that are not in the Inner Circle disavow any relation with the group if they are caught committing criminal acts.

Crimes suspected of the Myriad include:
 * Narcotics Trafficking
 * Slaving
 * Murder
 * Extortion
 * Illegitimate business practices
 * Embezzlement
 * Raping
 * Pillaging

Suspected Members

 * Xanthum -- The enigmatic kingpin of the Myriad. Nobody outside of the Inner Circle has seen him or can confirm his true identity. He communicates his orders via magically sealed letters.
 * Barthanah -- A businessman who operates out of the Grand Bazaar in Suanataar. As of yet, officials have not been able to pin any crime directly on the Tiefling, but his actions are monitored despite his elusive capabilities.
 * Ladris "the Leech" -- An elf of small stature that hangs around the  Howling Centaur, a tavern in Huor's Watch. He collects information about strangers passing through town, but is also willing to sell information to anybody with the right amount of money.
