Silver Thread

A continent-spanning league of professional burglars and assassins, the Silver Thread are as numerous as they are relatively disorganized. The Silver Thread is less a functioning organization and more a group of collaborating, like-minded individuals seeking lucrative, if ethically dubious, employment. The Silver Thread boasts a shocking number of members, though this is less due to willing membership as it is simple pragmatism. Members of the Silver Thread are given almost complete autonomy and access to a bevy of resources for their unscrupulous professions, so long as local liaisons (generally clerics of Kiara, Patron of Thieves, the unofficial patron goddess of the organization) are given a small percentage of the cut as tithe to their goddess and to fund the organization's safe houses and other resources. 
The Silver Thread takes its name from the Brotherhood of the Silver Thread, a simple guild of professional tailors and seamstresses in the country of Dol Tir. However, the guild fell apart when the guildmaster, an elderly and by all accounts well-liked drow man was arrested for the murder of a high-profile noble via stabbing to death with a needle. While there was almost no evidence pointing towards the guildmaster's involvement, he was swiftly put to death by the nobility.
