The Family
There are many guilds for thieves and rogues in the Realm. These range from small village-sized operations to legendary highwaymen who have plagued trade routes for years. The largest and most prestigious organization in the Reaches is commonly known as The Family. While many guilds rise and fall with the fortunes of their leaders, The Family has been a presence is Teufeldorf and the Reaches since the mid-sixth century TA. With agents scattered throughout the Realm, it is an organization which is both well-known and shrouded in secrecy. The leader of the guild is known simply as Grandfather, and the first to hold that title was a hobbit thief, Brandobaris, now revered as the Master of Stealth. The Family holds strong ties to the Dark Path (the guild of assassins) and the The Temple of Shadows.
