<strong>Preface</strong><br/><br/><em>In the Lower City, there exists another Kingdom and Court - the Lord of Thieves, who rules over his Thieves' Court, the masters and rulers of the city's lower denizens and the underworld. They are neither unsavory, nor vigilantes - the thieves who follow the Court tread the line of neutrality steadfastly, and while they might steal for a living, it is only from the rich who would not miss what these thieves misplace.<br/><br/>The man known as the Lord of Thieves stands atop this commoner's hierarchy, but he is a much shadowed figure. None know who he is, nor what his name is; nobody even knows what he looks like. None, that is, but for his Thirteen Rogues - thirteen men who serve as his eyes and ears, who keep him atop his throne and serve him with a fierce loyalty borne of true respect and belief in what he stands for. They are thieves, pickpockets, and spies; each rule a different quarter in the Lower City, and meet with the Lord of Thieves secretly to consolidate information and plans.</em><br/><br/><hr/><br/>This is the OOC thread for<strong>The Lord of Thieves</strong>(http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=19567.0), a roleplay Stevej101 and I are currently roleplaying. It is no longer continued on Elliquiy; however, we are continuing the story over emails, so I will continue to update this for my own reference, really. :)<br/><br/>Since the amount of information and background behind this story is growing at astronomical proportions, we decided that it might be better to have one of these, instead of me trying to dig the information out of my black hole (a.k.a. my inbox).
