"Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself."
In the wake of the Great Fall of Cruoris, amidst the surge of apostates and the disaffected, the realms saw chaos. From within that chaos, we saw opportunity. And from that opportunity came the Hoard. Bound only in loyalty to each other, beholden to no gods, the Hoard lay beyond reach of any government.
Steadily working behind the scenes, we have amassed fortunes of money, knowledge, and influence. Uniting scholars and soldiers, merchants, even individuals from darker walks of life. The Hoard has expanded its bounds to envelop many of the facets of daily life in the realms. Dealing in economic affairs, financially backing politicians, even providing the finest protection of cargo or escorts. Our presence can be felt in every facet of the daily life within the realms, if one is looking in the right place.
Sometimes our methods may come into question, but it is not control we seek, merely the profit where control is found lacking. It is not our place to take a side. Such an action could cost our organization
not just money, but damage that which we value most. The integrity of our commitments, regardless of who bid the highest. We are usurers of the highest quality, an impartial hand guided simply by the flow of wealth.
