Black Dougal send you? Good. Don't mind the blade; one can't be too careful, right? So, another young tough looking for a piece of the action. If I had me a gold coin for every one I've seen ... oh, wait, I do! Buy me a drink, and we'll see what you can learn from a master.

Life is never easy for rogues, whose trade so often flies in the face of local law and custom, and can leave them shunned by all they meet. In time, however, those who can survive long enough to gain a measure of success become Thieves, true professionals and masters of their craft. Success brings them not only wealth but finally a kind of status. True Thieves no longer live off of the wealth they steal - they take contracts from wealthy patrons to steal, and are paid handsomely for their services.
