The Family

"The Family" is a crime syndicate in Drekis & Mistrya. Outside of these countries The Family have a more limited presence, but are seen in several towns and cities throughout Arcadia.
Ranks in the family denote seniority. The Godfather is the leader of the organisation and is located in Wikkthronrarenta. Grandfather appears to be in charge of major locations. Uncles & Aunties appear to be senior members. Brothers are full members who do the field work while Cousins can be seen as outside contractors who aren't official members. "Fathers" and "Mothers" are the leadership of cities outside of Wikkthronrarenta and do not denote a clerical rank.
Drekis and Mistrya have their own Godfathers. The Mistryan Godfather is named Dominic in early 1513.
==History==
The history of The Family is largely unknown.
However, in 1512 during the War for Arcadia, the Mistrya half of The Family broke away from the Drekis side of the family.
The leadership of The Family are also very interested in the acquisition of magical objects, such as a rumoured Orb of Winter in the Frostlands of Southern Drekis in the Arum County.
==Criminal Activities==
