Not all the guilds in Waterdeep are notorious. Some are so tiny, they slip by the acknowledgment of even the most sharpest of authorities. The Hand of the Devil, is a tiny thieving guild that has once mighty beginnings. It was founded by Constantino De Vastez. As the son of a wealthy exporter, he made many political friends and his cut throat business dealings made him even more enemies.
At the height of his power he controlled all the exports of Caer Calidyrr, the largest port city or the Alaron Isle. His ships and cargo barred the great red hand of the devil. But Vastez overstepped his reach and his rivals vying for power persuaded the king to have him jailed, While jailed, his lands were seized, his family murdered. He was then to stand trial, what little political clout he had left saved him from the hangman’s noose.
He was exiled from the isle. During his transport to a distant island prison, a tempest came upon their vessel, everyone was lost at sea. Vestez, clinging to some floating debris drifted to the coast of Waterdeep. There, he met a orphan boy Erdan. With the boy he has lived the last 10 years in a sewer lair. The name of his mercantile guild, reincarnated, as a thieving guild. The only presence on the surface is a small pub called Latrina Del Diablo (The Devil’s Outhouse). It a tiny pub that caters to sailors, and is used to gather useful information on valuable cargo.
The thieving guild is tiny, consisting of Constantino De Vastez, a lvl 10 rogue, his right hand man, 3 eyed jack, who also tends bar. 4 underlings that are lvls 3-5 and Erdan. They prefer to be not to be brought to the attention of authorities. Since Constantino De Vastez is a wanted man and blamed for the loss of the ship he was on. Additionally, Waterdeep, is headquarters to the Oaklord Trading Company. One of the Partners of Three, who own and run the smuggling company, was the one who spearheaded the assualt upon Constantino De Vastez’s name. I was even an Oaklord Trading Company vessel was taking Vastez to his island prison.
Erdan’s Exile
Erdan was exiled from the guild because of an event. Erdan, hated the dank confines of the sewers of Waterdeep. He preferred the roof tops of tall city buildings, and visage of the city scapes. He copied the moves of the circus performers, learning to scale walls, walk on tight ropes and so on. These were all things that Vastez did not approve of. He feared that Erdan would get caught and lead the authorities back down to him. This was source of great contention between, Erdan and Vastea. Erdan desired a different life.
The final straw was when Erdan swooped in and saved a beautiful women from some thugs in a back alley. The Lady captivated Erdan’s attention. Her husband thanked him and took him in briefly. When Vastez found out, he was irate. The husband, turns out to be Rictila Chandler, one of the Partners of Three, in the Oaklord Trading Company. Vastez banishes Erdan from the guild and from the city, on penalty of death. To enlist the help of his men with out question, Vastez tells his men that erdan taken out a shipment of goods and was keeping it for himself. IF they ever seem him, they are to bring Erdan to him alive. For their troubles he give them a handsome share of the loot.
Currently Vastez, is clinging to life. His advanced age, and poor diet has finally caught up with him. He regrets exiling Erdan. He desires to make amends with him and leave him in charge of his guild and possessions.
