The City of Thieves

The City of Thieves is a city of freedom. Though gangs and criminals control its streets, its citizens owe no allegiance to any lord or master, and its wealth is not for any but those with the guile and skill to claim it. All are welcome, none turned away from the prospect of fame and fortune. No matter your race, creed or gender, there is always a place for you among its citizens.

But all that wealth, and its casual scoffing at the rule of proper authority, has drawn the ire of many kingdoms over the centuries. Despite many attempts, no one has manage to lay claim to the city, and the wealth it hides within its walls. For the gangs, thieves and citizens themselves have always struck back, using bribery, blackmail, violence and threat to ensure none rule over them. For it is their freedom they value above all, and none can bring true law to the streets.

Recently, however, the city has borne witness to a new claimant to the City of Thieves. With a legion of soldiers at their back, a new noble has arrived to once more take up residence. Already, the grumbling of the gangs can be heard. Already, violence erupts between soldier and thug. Already, the fight to control the city begins. As always, many look on, eager to take advantage of the chaos to further their own ends.

What role shall you play in deciding the fate of the City of Thieves?
