Guild Location:
The guild operates and controls numerous locations in waterdeep. But most guild members
spend their time at the headquarters.
The headquarters is located in the Trade ward. Under the guise of a desert shipping and escort
guild. They hide in plain sight by pretending to be an old dying business headed by Thalluck
Westbrook; a 'noble' from the Anarouch desert.
In the heart of Anuroch, the Rattlers, a notorious crime syndicate, slither through the
desert like vipers in the sand. Clad in rugged clothes adorned with intricate snake
tattoos, they follow a strict set of ancient principles and operate as a tightly-knit family.
Honoring loyalty above all else, they form an impenetrable network of alliances. In their
hidden lair, the Fangs, their leaders, make crucial decisions, and outside, their
informants watch over the vast desert. With unmatched smuggling prowess, their
reputation extends beyond Anuroch, making them a formidable force in a realm where
power is claimed by those with the deadliest bite. Legends of their cunning and stealth
echo throughout the shifting sands, making the Rattlers a respected and feared entity,
embodying the resilience and danger of the desert itself.
Therion would know of people from the Rattlers as his father would most likely mention
some people in passing. Therion also knows that it is theorized by his family that
Thalluck was a member of the Rattlers, or an organization that would form into the
Rattlers that he rebelled from.

Would your character have close connections with the criminal syndicate, the Silver Circle
The Silver Circle, a notorious gang in the shadows of Waterdeep, strikes fear into the
hearts of its citizens with their sinister trade in human enslavement. Operating with
ruthless efficiency, they target the vulnerable and unsuspecting, kidnapping them under
the cloak of darkness to be sold as commodities to their inconspicuous clientele.
Bearing their mark, the Silver Circlets discreetly hidden beneath their sleeves, they
instill a chilling symbol of their influence. Their network of hideouts and safehouses
enables them to evade capture, leaving the city's authorities and vigilantes frustrated in
their pursuit of justice. The mere mention of the Silver Circle elicits revulsion, their
nefarious deeds earning them the distinction of being one of the most loathed and
feared gangs in Waterdeep, a haunting reminder of the dark dangers that lurk within the
city's shadows.
Therion would know people in the Silver Circle. He does not like to associate with them
as he and his guild are not to keen on them. They don't agree with human
imprisonment as Thalluck was a slave to a gang long ago.
