The Underworld: Where there are laws, there are those that break them. Where there are lawbreakers, there are people trying to stop them. That's what most people know about the criminal underworld that is the darker side of every city of man and every other race that walks this world. Thieves, assassins, criminals. What most people don't know is that the criminal underworld has rules, an organization, and leaders. Theirs is a society not based on law, honour, or any sort of belief besides surviving at all costs. Every criminal adheres to the decisions of the underworld and it's leaders. Or else. There is no true lawkeeping force in the underworld, which simply sends out a cut-throat instead of an officer. There is no honour among thieves, true, but there is fear among them. They will listen and they will agree, and they will help, or they will die.

On a more general scale, the criminal underworld deals in information, stolen goods, stolen jewelry, and everything stolen. Services can be obtained, at a price. No criminal, however, disobeys the laws. Nobody cares if some random merchant turns up dead, but if a government official turns up murdered, or a king, the entire army goes into the secret places and arrests the thieves, which are fined, or worse, imprisoned, or worse, hanged, or even worse, tossed to the Void Artificers for their soul-works.
