The Darkness Under Light
The Darknet is a part of the world that, while hidden, can never be destroyed. It is simply the nature of people.
There exists a shadow beneath Shinseina’s surface, a secretive web of dealings and whispers known only as the Darknet. This hidden network serves as the pulse of the underground, a clandestine platform where lawlessness thrives and the morally grey operate with impunity. It’s the place for assassins to find contracts, for smugglers to peddle contraband, and for forbidden services to be exchanged away from the gaze of the noble Clans or guild enforcement.
Accessing the Darknet is not as straightforward as strolling past an advertisement board. While the gateway to it may be found easily enough, true value lies deeper within, guarded by tiered layers of trust, reputation, and infamy. Those who seek to thrive here must prove themselves worthy of the deeper vaults.
Within the Darknet, characters can operate under complete anonymity. This protection allows for encrypted communication, the veiling of identities, and deals made in whispers rather than handshakes. Mistakes, however, can pierce that veil, slips in speech, poor opsec, or manipulation may expose even the most careful criminals.
Illegal trades, forbidden tools, and morally bankrupt services find their home within several primary categories.
-
Forbidden items and blacklisted weapons that are far too dangerous or volatile to be sold publicly.
-
Criminal services such as kidnapping, targeted sabotage, or even magical hacking.
-
Contraband substances ranging from cursed potions to hallucinogenic or mana-toxic drugs.
-
Assassination requests, hits placed anonymously, be it against NPCs, rival factions, or even fellow player characters.
-
Information brokering: secret names, confidential plans, or veiled truths exchanged for coin or favors.
The Tiers
In the Darkweb, there are Tiers to just how evil you are.
To keep order amid the chaos, every listing within the Darknet is categorized by its nature, ensuring users can navigate this underworld with precision. Yet not all may glimpse every corner of it. Access to the Darknet is governed by tiers, each one unlocking more severe, lucrative, or dangerous opportunities.
At Tier 1, newcomers to the underworld can access petty crimes, minor contraband, and low-tier contacts, dabbling in illegality without brushing shoulders with truly dangerous entities.
Progressing to Tier 2 grants access to potent items, black-market contracts, and trusted brokers. These individuals have begun making names for themselves through consistent interaction and success.
But it is only at Tier 3 that the elite of the criminal world emerge, those with whispers that echo through the Black Market itself. Here, rare deals, high-value NPC connections, and sensitive intelligence become available, accessible only to the most notorious.
