Criminal Sub-Faction - The Blue Skooma Corporation (Organized Crime)

The Blue Skooma Corporation is a major crime syndicate. Though it is named for its (in)famous product, blue skooma, distilled as Balmora Blue often is, with certain ingredients added to increase its addictive qualities, they perform jobs of many varieties.

The Mistress of the Corporation, Daro'Zhinda, leads the Corporation with a level head and an iron fist, keeping a strict set of rules over her members, which, if broken, can lead to brutal punishment. However, to serve faithfully and abide by the laws of the Corporation has potential to yield great reward, and possibly even favor from the Mistress herself.

Though the Corporation promises prestige, one must prove substantial skill to rise beyond mere fallmen and cannon fodder. For the intrepid criminal, there are many doors open for promotion, they must only choose which to enter. The Corporation performs a wide variety of criminal activities. While the dealers and brewers are by far the most populated of the professions, they are also the hardest to break through in. However, the Corporation is always seeking larcenists, thieves professional and cunning enough to send messages to wealthy clients, and procure incriminating evidence on officials; enforcers, the brute force of the Corporation, devoted to teaching lessons to those who cross the Mistress and her operations; and of course, agents, those who act as the ears of the Corporation, embedding themselves within the ranks of the Corporation's foes and dismantling them from the inside.

Those who prove their worth to the Mistress will be richly rewarded for their service, though those who disappoint her may limp home, licking their wounds.



Mistress - The head of the Corporation, held exclusively by Daro'Zhinda.

Inner Circle - Daro'Zhinda's most trusted advisers, made up of very few people.

Overseer - A lesser adviser placed in charge of overseeing product deliveries.

Manager - One placed in charge of managing the separate arms of the Corporation, one manager for each arm.

Larcenist - The larcenists are thieves devoted to gathering incriminating evidence and sending messages to wealthy opponents. Managed by the Grand Larcenist.

Agent - Agents are members of the Corporation placed into opposing syndicates which pose a threat, as well as occasional mercenary groups, and slowly cripple them from the inside. Managed by the Spymaster.

Enforcer - Enforcers are tasked with being the muscle of the Corporation, strong-arming the opposition into submission, as well as putting down threats that the Agents cannot take down covertly. Managed by the Marshall.

Drug Runner - A part of the lower echelons of the Corporation, the drug runners are disposable lackeys, solely for the purpose of running skooma to buyers. They are seen as entirely disposable entities, and will be likely forgotten if they are captured or killed.

Brewer - Somehow even more disposable than the runners, Brewers need only follow paper instructions on the brewing of the product and box it for the runners. They are sometimes called upon to assist in menial tasks, though that is the extent for most of them. Few ever truly rise to prominence as a Brewer.

Henchman - The entry rank for the Corporation, henchmen are tasked only with providing a show of their skills to be assessed and placed in their proper positions. Those who do not rise above Henchman are often killed or abandoned.



To join the Corporation is simple, many ads are subtly interwoven into many seemingly everyday posters and newspapers throughout Malabal Tor and the surrounding regions. To one who knows of the syndicate already, they are easily deciphered. Once a meeting has been arranged, the recruit will be sized up by the Mistress herself, and if they are found to be proper material, they will be named Henchmen.



There is no uniform requirement whatsoever, as the Corporation operates subtly, and away from the eyes of the law and any other who would see it toppled.



Though leaving the Corporation often spells death, there are a few special exceptions that the Mistress will allow. If approached on the matter, should one be a trusted member, they will be met with criteria for leaving. They will be branded with the mark of the Corporation, in a place often hidden by clothing, and they will be watched by an agent, and should they attempt to reveal any information, them, and any who hear their words, will be silenced, in whatever way possible.
