Persuaders Guild

From The Griffin's Crier
Jump to: navigation, search

A now-defunct guild that specialized in getting people to do things that they don't necessarily want to do.

Overview

The Persuaders Guild was founded in Harvester 591 by some disaffected members of the Sellsword Guild.

Its purpose was to provide a certain level of incentive to persuade the enemies of their clients to comply with their client’s wishes. Whether this be the intimidation of someone into a specific course of action, such as entering into an unfavorable business deal, or the outright use of force, such as breaking the legs of an individual for an unpaid debt, the Persuaders Guild specialized in providing this type of incentive.

Unfortunately for them, they went up against a force they were not ready to deal with: the Messengers Guild. Two of the Persuaders foremost guildmembers, Salsar and Wind, went to confront the leader of the Messengers Guild and demand that he stop his campaign of terror aimed at getting all freelance messengers to join his guild. The Persuaders were killed, and their decapitated heads delivered to their guildmaster, Wulfstan Turoc, who promptly fled to Blue.

It's possible he may attempt to restart the guild there, but to date Turoc has spent most of his time drinking in dive bars.
