The
Black Market
Contrary to popular belief, the Black Market isn't merely a chaotic collection of people selling illegal items or a haven for unlawful activities. It is, in reality, a vast and highly secretive organization with a meticulously structured hierarchy and far-reaching influence that spans not just the Clans but the entire Realm, with influence that can reach even the most isolated of places and the most secretive of groups.
Structure and Leadership
At the top of the Black Market is the ruling council known as the Nine Heads of the Serpent. These nine individuals each oversee a major aspect of the organization, including:
-
Illegal Goods: They trade and smuggle contraband items and other things.
-
Assassinations: They are in charge of targeted killings or assaults.
-
Kidnapping: They are responsible for abducting for ransom, or some other reason.
-
Narcotics: Production and distribution of illicit drugs.
-
Trafficking: Enslavement and sale of individuals.
-
Information Brokerage: Gathering and selling intelligence.
-
Weaponry: The creation and sale of illegal arms.
-
Order: They oversee the order within and outside the Black Market, keeping everyone in check and in line with the Black Market.
-
Overseer: They are the controller and overseer of the entire Black Market.
Each head is shrouded in mystery, with their true identities and appearances concealed even from the nobles and high-ranking members within the organization. They are known only by their code names and their reputations alone are enough to command absolute obedience and fear within the ranks.


Operations and Influence
The Black Market operates with precision and an intricate network that spans all the major clans and cities within Shinseina. their reach is hidden from the general public but always there, from the highest of positions to the lowest. This widespread presence is facilitated through a series of interconnected cells and operatives, each sworn to secrecy and bound by unbreakable oaths of loyalty.
