Re-imagining the Thieves Guild as the Facilitators' Guild
by Marc Saindonwhile Minrothad would have several lesser thief criminal gangs (making useful scapegoats and fodder), this version would be legal and part of Guild Corser. They would recruit mainly in service labor, providing maids, household servants, janitors, concierges, majordomos, butlers, personal assistants, valets, laundresses, etc.
The upper echelons of the Facilitators would serve as personal assistants to Minrothaddan VIPs and technically be Rogues (or even the optional Rake class), using their skills to cut through red tape, tap into the rumor-mill, discretely deliver messages, and use their contacts to infiltrate certain locations (if you know the janitor of that warehouse, he can open the locks).
