Feature: The Followers of Destruction
You have a huge network across the realm in Meoyorath, this includes those from smallfolk all the way up to noble families ruling in different areas of Meoyorath. They follow your faction's pursuits in wanting to replace the current ruler in the realm. They are able to move messages for you to contacts and acquaintances over great distances. You specifically know local messengers and sketchy sailors who can do such work for you.
Suggested Characteristics
Criminals might seem like villains on the surface, and many of them are villainous to the core. But some have an abundance of endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. There might be honor among thieves, but criminals rarely show any respect for law or authority.
