Requiem

**The Requiem** is an infamous guild of individuals loosely defined as "vigilantes". Thieves, criminals, mercenaries, and others familiar with the underbelly of civilization may be associated with them.

## Description

Frequently labeled as rioters, The Requiem is an organized system of vigilantes that have done questionable things to get by and facilitate revolution. The Requiem offers protection from the Broker and other external threats by employing adventurers and shady mercenaries to hunt monsters.

The Requiem offers crownsguard-type services to towns and cities who don’t have their own guards.  There have been rumors of this group being tied to criminal groups.

Their Thieve's Cant is a series of short tunes and melodies that change irregularly.

Some reasons why people join are:

* monetary gain. the Requiem is sponsored by a legit mafia with probably a ponzi scheme involved somewhere

* greater good. help fight inequality and get a chance to make your mark on history!

* parent/relative was in it. the Requiem is based on a patron-client system and entire families are roped in frequently

* unfinished contract. Sometimes when people are in debt to the Requiem's sponsor and can't pay it off, (HAHA PONZI SCHEME) they can exchange their money for time serving the Requiem

### Structure

Patron-client model. Hierarchies are very important, and ranking or perceived importance depends more than merit.

### Leader

Reprisal is the current head of The Requiem. She is a female tiefling, and firmly believes that revolution (tm) is an integral part of inciting change, even if it doesn't seem necessary.

### Motto

"Stand on the right side of history; be the necessary change"

## History

The Requiem was originally made to <> but since then, it has lost sight of its vision. Now, the only thing that still hints at its original purpose is its name.

## Locations

### Eastshire

The Requiem is very publicly anti-Occulox there.

### Han

Portia and Han are two well known Requiem cities.  Members of the Requiem have decent influence in those places.

### Knoxis

In around 250 PA, following the death of Seth Doxenleve, The Requiem overthrew the existing government. Currently, The Requiem still runs the town.

### Portia

Portia and Han are two well known Requiem cities.  Members of the Requiem have decent influence in those places.

## Notable Members

* Balance
* Elanor (formerly)
* Loct
* Omen
* Reprisal (leader)
* Sarchasis

## Relationships

### The Crimson Consortium

the weirdest alliance in the history of alliances. the consortium is basically the requiem's sugardaddy, and those who owe debts to the consortium and are unable to pay sometimes are sent to do work with the requiem.

### The Stave

no likey. mostly because the consortium doesn't like them. they have squabbled over Knoxis though.

### The Occulox Project

no likey. Fighting it for "the greater good", though lets be honest if the requiem gets their way the consortium will probably take advantage of their situation.
