Let not light see my black and deep desires:
The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be
What the eye fears, when it is done, to see?"

Name | The Requisition
Guild Master | The Shadowman & Umbra
Theme | A thieves guild abiding by a loose code of honour, making use of sorcery
Goals | Wealth and Sanctuary
Description | Having its origins deeply sewn within the School of Understate, The Requisition seeks one thing; the requisition of coin. Originating as a group of petty thieves in the city of Hallonq, the guild has since fled further afield, now inhabiting the Holy City of Regalia. The Requisition stands as a haven for any seeking a more thrill-filled life, providing those evading the law, or those with a thirst for such, with a sanctuary and the resources to do as they please.

205 AC. The organisation can be traced this far back, in the city of Hallonq, with the three founding members; an Ailor ex-sailor, known as Enrico del Toro; a Varran, descendant from a line of merchants then fallen from grace, whose name has been lost to time, referred to as Neith; a Kathar who worshipped the Void Prefect of Trickery, known as Thorstar Othrvu. Rumours are had that the group was initially established as a cult, of sorts, towards the Void Prefect of Trickery, although, such is just a myth, having no substantial evidence to back it. In actuality, the trio were members of the Understate, from a mix of both Undercroft and Vilestate origins.
225 AC. With interest in the trio's actions increasing, they took it upon themselves to found an organisation seeking fame and fortune; a group of thieves with a code of morals. They dubbed it The Requisition, providing sanctuary to any and all who pursue their line of work. The Thieves' Honour was instated soon after, acting as a guide to how the members of the group should operate moving forwards.
250 AC. By this point, the guild had grown substantially, finding themselves sprawling across the city. This marked an age of prosperity for them, and all crime syndicates in Hallonq. This time is remembered fondly by members, and it is said by many that the Guild should look to their predecessors to regain their past wealth.
289 AC. Hallonq was seized by the Regalian Empire, leading to a crackdown on crime establishments. For many years, the group was forced underground, until the General Rubén Vicario discovered their hide away, wrapping The Inquisition around his finger for his own benefit. This year marks the end of the guild's prosperity, signifying the downwards spiral they took.
304 AC. During the events of the Bone Horror Crisis, the organisations members were obliterated, and were considered by many to be extinct; with the Asaltadors becoming the only notable gang of the city.
307 AC. The Requisition re-emerged in the Holy City of Regalia, headed by the Shadowman; one of few members still remaining from the original cell. With time, the local Black Market industry found itself absorbed into the group, expanding their horizons for the future.
