Brotherhood of Common Goods

The Brotherhood of Common Goods (often called thieves,) firmly controls all organized crime and much minor criminal activity in the Kingdom of Lithmore. In the City of Lithmore, most of those who prey on the wealth of others as a profession are either 'invited' to join at some point, or apply on their own. It is rumored that the Brotherhood never allows a member to retire alive. Examples of types of characters that might be accepted into the Brotherhood include but are not limited to: smugglers, corrupt officials, burglars, fences, muggers, pickpockets, confidence men, and blackmailers. Note that while being a member of the Brotherhood is not a crime, per se, being a known member may well mark you out for special attention whenever a crime is committed.
