== Gangs ==
Gangs are organizations of criminals. While by definition all gangs engage in illegal activities, their operations need not necessarily be clandestine and a number of gangs work with law enforcement in a limited capacity in cases where each party stands to gain an advantage through their mutual cooperation or in cases where corruption is rampant.
=== Free Trade Organization ===
The Free Trade Organization, also known as the Free Traders or the Smugglers Guild, is perhaps the largest and most influential criminal organization on Aum, and many local officials willingly overlook their criminal status as they are always certain to bring good business wherever they go. At their core, the Free Traders are smugglers who believe that goods of all kinds should be available on the markets. While they also tend to wish to avoid taxation wherever they can, most end up making profitable arrangements with local officials in which both sides stand to benefit.
=== Sunset Orange Bandits ===
Active mostly on the West coast of Emperus, the Sunset Orange Bandits are a brutal gang of Pyromancers and Alchemists who produce and distribute drugs throughout their territory whilst brutally suppressing any competition. Notable members include Amber Brand.
=== Hexrig Financial ===
Hexrig Financial is a cabal of Witches, Warlocs, and Hexers who use their dark magical prowess for economically nefarious purposes. They are often hired by Corporations to unleash financial curses against their rivals as well as smaller Trade Guilds in order to reduce their value and make them easier to acquire.
