There are three houses that contain different types of members in the Guild of Traveling Tales. There are performers, thieves, and royal handlers. Performers play their tunes or tell poetry in taverns and at parties alike. They tend to commit smaller thievery and prefer to steal when nobody will notice. Thieves primarily only steal regardless of the reason and may even rob someone in alleyways or at the end of a weapon. Royal handlers have attained a position of authority within a royal house whether that be big or small. They infiltrate from the top to help those in need. Although rarely do they hold any real power. They just can make certain things disappear.
