Shadow Government

The Shadow Government refers a loose confederation of "Thieves Guilds" throughout Volkrania. Once based upon a culture of mutual respect, the relationship between the guilds has taken a turn for the worse, many high-ranking members being slain during the Battle for the Shadows. The resulting power vacuum and conflicts with the surviving members of the Cult of the Dragon have left many Guild members dead. As a result the Thieves Guilds in many towns are well hidden and distrust teach other even more than in the past.
