Reformed in 371 MA, the Syssin Syndicate owes its life to the ancient lineage of the Spirean Defenders, those men and women trained by the God of Artifice to be His loyal soldiers.

Where one may have once envisioned a dank warren of cutthroats, the Syndicate takes its inspiration from the trade companies and cartels of Albedos, styling themselves as a familial business, with an emphasis on loyalty and a brutal spin on honor.

Headquartered in the Republic of Spinesreach, the Syndicate feeds from its own notoriety. Individual members are trained to be the dominant and pioneering force wherever they go, as respected as they are feared and reviled. Natural born leaders, Syndicate members have their fingers in every pie they can reach, and command authority in their communities. They are the rogues you love to hate, and hate enough to love.

Like all guilds, the Syssin are comprised of members trained in many disciplines and arts, however, they pass on their own teachings, adapted and built on from the original methods of Lord Severn. With Venom, Syssin can produce the deadliest poisons known to mankind, from substances that produce paralysis to the deadly Voyria compound, known for its ability to kill an elephant in seconds.

Through their training in Hypnosis, these deadly agents can pierce through an unwitting victim's mental defenses, bombarding their minds with crippling diseases, disorders and ailments that can be released at any time.

Deadliest of all is the ancient art of Subterfuge, a martial system taught to the Ankyrean-era soldiers of Spinesreach and continually built upon over the centuries. With Subterfuge, a Syssin can move vast distances in the blink of an eye, trail victims without their notice, pierce distant targets with deft arrow shots, and even vanish from the plane of reality.

In manners of business, politics, espionage and sabotage, the Syssin Syndicate can claim no equals. This path is not for everyone, and there are those who, consumed by the avaricious and nefarious lifestyle, find themselves unable to make the cut and fade into obscurity. But those who work hard for the business find their place in the stars, and are remembered by Aetolia forever.
