===== Introduction =====

Blacklist is divided into a few sections based on the type of work being conducted

====Origin==== 

The exact age of Blacklist is unknown, Due to the nature of the group most records were never kept on tangible mediums but most agree it was many decades before the //Ashlem War//. \\ The reason behind Black list should be obvious. Smart people realized that the smartest way to work was off the books. People willing to pay a lot of gold for things most say they are not allowed to do. Paying way more then any normal honest work could pay. Pulled together by the crime lords of the day, Blacklist became the official title for the organized crime movement. slowly growing to be in every corner of //Reton// and //Covania// including the lands of //Promise//.

Unable to obtain secure channels in Oxtrad due to the harsh nature of its leaders it was smarter to leave Oxtrad alone for now. But as rumours of Oxtrad's Queen begin to trickle through, Rumours of the Queens "disappearance" or "Marriage" or "Stepping down from her post" Its unclear at the moment which truths are lies and which lies are true. One thing is for certain, something major is happening with Oxtrad's hierarchy.

Blacklist has been unable to hold a stable footing in //Sunwood// due to another organized crime group known as [[faction:torment_of_claws|Torment of Claws]] keeping Covania's capital under its strangle hold. Presently Blacklist have accepted a stalemate situation after their latest estate was overrun and removed from //Sunwood//. A new direction is needed or perhaps simply accept not every corner can be controlled.

==== History ====

=== Updates & Changes ===

One of our most skilled thieves has seemingly vanished from what records we do keep. Its a great loss but the scrub was done cleanly, Someone high up must have been involved.

We have yet to make a discrete settlement within Covania's capital due to the ever persistent presence of a group we only know as [[faction:torment_of_claws|Torment of Claws]]. Sunwood is declared a blue zone, Only the most skilled/Suitable members of Blacklist may enter on business.

A new guild calling itself //Blackfyre// Seems to have taken roots in Covania's capital. Competition may be just what Blacklist needs to further is reach within the capital. We expect the //Torment of Claws// to either eliminate or join forces with them.

Something seems to have happened to Oxtrad's Queen, the few spies we have in the icy land's capital say there seems to be major movement throughout the Guild masters there.
