Tharquan
Tharqan is a malicious criminal organisation spread across the entirety of Lihiri. They are the largest thieves guild in the city, and conduct a large portion of criminal activities around the city, such as trade on the black markets around the world. Although Phaelmor have tried numerous times to defeat the organisation, it has always returned, throughout history, due to how widespread the thieves guild is.
It promises protection and anonymity for all of it's members, and it provides lodging deep in the undercity. Money is given to it's members in exchange for carrying out tasks. It is likely that there is guild members across the surrounding worlds as well.
Structure
The organisation works like a hierarchy, led by Vardom, an ancient lich. His direct subordinates are known as the Heart - the council that run the organisation. Beneath them, the many Eyes, who gather information and perform reconnaissance. Then, the normal members of the guild, the Hands, operatives, thieves and soldiers. All the members are marked with a spell that traps each person slain by them in Vardom's phylactery. It cannot be removed.
History
The organisation was formed by Vardom as a method of gathering souls for his phylactery, and money to continue his magical research - a method to ascend to godhood or to gain a more certain form of immortality, thieving, assassinating, recuiting. It grew from just his scared followers to a complete criminal organisation to fuel Vardom's immortality for the millennia to come.
