Silk Hand

The Silk Hand is the notorious Thieves’ guild in Ilia.
The guild maintains a front on the docks, the registered shipping company Southern Maritime Freight Co., to divert attention from their illegal activities. Old fishing association storage rooms, now repurposed for the guild, serve as the central hub for their activities. These rooms are guarded by skilled rogues and protected by traps.
The guild employs spies and informants who gather valuable information from sailors, merchants, and city officials. This information is used for planning heists, avoiding law enforcement, and staying one step ahead of rival factions. They also have established contacts with ship crews, paying them for information on valuable cargo, schedules, and potential targets. During high-stake operations, the guild often employs distraction techniques, such as staged incidents or false alarms, to divert the attention of city guards and law enforcement away from their activities.
== Hierarchy ==
=== Guildmaster ===
The guild is run by a nameless shadowy figure, simply known as the Guildmaster. There are two members who report directly to the Guildmaster:
=== Infiltration Specialist ===
The position is held by Amara. She hires escape artists, heist strategists, forgery artisans and saboteurs.
=== Spymaster ===
Elias Blackthorn is in charge of hiring information brokers, street informants, surveillance experts, negotiators, black market contacts and underworld liaisons.
=== Listers ===
The cells are further divided into day to day thieves. Those with the most reputation and renown within the guild, trusted by the higher-ups, will be responsible for recruiting thieves' and distributing jobs. Some of these include Slippery Steve, Dave the Dodger, Whiskers, and the professional con artist Slinky Sal.
