Shadow Guild
A subsidiary of the Merchant's Guild, the thieves, spies, and other clandestine activities demanded by the underbelly of the merchants are taken care of by the Shadow Guild. Unsurprisingly for the usually amoral merchants, most belong to both guilds with the truly honest merchant being a rarity.
Structure
On their face, the Shadows follow the same structure as the Merchant's Guild since they belong to that organization as well, however within the Shadow Guild there is a much stricter hierarchy based on how capable one is in stealth, thievery, assassination, and other clandestine activities and form sub-groups within the Shadow Guild based on their true professions.
Public Agenda
The Shadow Guild doesn't have a public agenda, for they're the shadowy hand of the Merchant's Guild and act on their behalf for all their under-the-table dealings from assassinations to robbery.
Assets
As members of the Merchant's Guild, they've access to everything they do.
Demography and Population
Wherever humans exist there will be conflict and greed, those with a particular penchant for clandestine activities usually receive an invitation from the Shadows, an invitation one is woe to refuse for their own safety.
Territories
Though individuals of the Shadow's Guild don't have much territory of their own, they can be found just about anywhere - you just won't know that its them. Everyone from the peddler on the street to the official in your government can be a member at the behest of the Merchant's Guild and only the rare few can find them.
Military
The special operatives of the Merchant's Guild, they may not have much military force on the surface but they don't act in the light and its hard to fight a dagger in the dark.
Technological Level
With the resources available to the Merchant's Guild its no wonder that the Shadows have access to the best Ihmisen Keh'to has to offer, though as a matter of principle they refuse to use anything that can be traced back to them.
Foreign Relations
The spies within the Four Nations? These guys. Someone was assassinated? Most likely these guys. A valuable treasure was stolen from a major power? Definitely these guys.
Though the Shadows don't have outright relationships with the peoples of Ihmisen Keh'to, the Merchant's Guild guild do and the Shadows work for the merchants.
Education
Trained in assassination, espionage, and larceny all members of the Shadows are adept of stealth, impersonation, and deception. They are the hands in the dark, even when in the light.
