Bitter Union

A thieves’ guild called the Bloody Talon flourished in the city of Greystone.

When the Shroud Loyalists wanted to acquire six of the shards of the key to the Crown Spires from the Temple of Krell (thus precipitating the [[Shroud Civil War|civil war within the church) they employed a thief named Sbik, and in return for his services gave him enough men to take control of the Bloody Talon.

Sbik’s takeover of the Bloody Talon was violent and ruthless. He effectively made the thieves’ guild an organ of the Shroud, and opposition to this policy was brutally supressed.

The Bitter Union was founded by several former Bloody Talon members who managed to escape the city, and were preoccupied with the worry that Sbik’s goons may be coming after them.

Newer guild members, had no ties with Greystone, and business within the Bitter Union is primarily confined to bootlegging, smuggling, burglary and petty theft.

The guild was, naturally, hidden, although it was said that any thief poking his nose where it shouldn't be in Sanctuary was likely to find the Bitter Union sooner or later.
