Chapter 24

Oh, and there's more. I mentioned that worst person ever? His name is Agilus
and apparently the legacy he's trying to leave is "be the most hated thief of
all time." I helped fund the coup in the Blackclaw guild that would've given
Xalcorin the seat as Spymaster, but to keep a long story short, it didn't go as
planned. We're still sorting through our options there, but Agilus retains
leadership in Blackclaw for now, leaving Xalcorin and Wiggam guildless. Ild
and I both will gladly accept them into one of our guilds if we can't do
something about Agilus. Ild seems to have taken an interest in uniting the
guilds, too. However, it's not in the same way Dargatha wanted to, by clearing
out the evil influences. She wants to include Caecilius, who also happens to
be the new Emperor of Thera. Politics are to be left at the door, of course,
when it comes to the Rogues. Well, except for the internal politics regarding
guild leadership. I'm sort of relieved for two reasons. Avoiding enmity with
the Empire is one, and the other is I can keep on quietly amassing funds for
when we need them, rather than focusing on recruitment efforts, secrecy, and
subterfuge. Besides, I have my paws full.
