Organization:Invisible Union

Invisible Union

The Invisible Union is an organization built around organized crime, not including violent crime. Union members include thieves, fences, pickpockets, veilwalkers, locksmiths, coinshifters, and distractions. It operates by setting up members with opportunities to commit crime against high-value targets and rewards members for their participation in illicit activities with special privileges and material goods. The Union does not have any sort of uniform between its members, so it is difficult for others to determine who is or is not with the Union. However, all members are given a token to show their affiliation, which they can use to reveal themselves to others they meet outside of Union enclaves.

The Invisible Union maintains various locations where members can gather, called refuges. Within these refuges, members may connect with others, obtain training, and practice their skills in a controlled and respectful environment. While it is not permitted to steal from other members knowingly, it is permitted to arrange a bout of stealing "practice" with other members so long as the goods stolen are returned to their rightful owners after the practice is completed. Practice of this nature must be cleared by the lord or matron of the refuge prior to beginning, lest it be mistaken for real theft.

The Union has locations across all of Zyrkthraan which are frequented by people of many different cultures and backgrounds. It does not refuse entry to anyone who has done the legwork to find one of their refuges to request membership. However, entire refuges have been required to relocate or become abandoned throughout the ages as those in enforcement positions located them.
