The Conquest of the Night

Criminal Activity

Brug, the leader of the Obsidian Guild, began to overtake and absorb the thief guilds across the White Mountains. He began by expanding across his home city of Illuria, and his conquest officially began when he had completely taken over the criminal underworld of Minervus. The Conquest of the Night officially ended when Brug snuck into King Darrius' bedroom and dealt with him, with both of them signing the Treaty of Two Kings on the next day, which quite appropriately was Ineveramholt. They signed it at dawn, the moment when the night and day become one. The new White Mountain Thieves Guild would be given much more leeway with their criminal activity from the guard, and in return Brug would control the criminals, using their contacts and power to ensure the relative safety of the population. Murder and Grand Larceny would still be investigated, and private citizens can still conduct their own personal investigations and utilize bounty hunters and mercenary guilds to seek retribution, but the Grand Guard would not investigate petty crimes by the White Mountain Thieves Guild. In return for leniency, Brug ensures that there is no more gang violence and the citizens no longer have to worry about leaving their houses at night.
