The guild is sustained by a delicate pyramid, the lower members keep to gathering money and living for the guild, by enacting contracts and obtaining valuable items. as one raises through the ranks they begin acting on more valuable and difficult contracts, typically assigned by rich merchants, or nobles wishing to enact “politics”. Eventually the pyramid reaches a point in which the few members there don’t enact any form of contracts, they take and give direct messages to and from the Serpents.

Fledgelings:
Outlaws that have only recently caught attention of the guild, they are not allowed in Hideouts yet and are contacted by a Mentor that invites them to the Silverfangs, proposing first that they prove themselves by taking their first contract.

Members:
Fledgelings that succeeded in their first contract and where allowed in the closest den, receiving the key for it, they receive fairly simple missions that were paid by smaller clients or simply set out by the mentors of the hideout to steal goods for selling, they are the majority of the fangs and act as a basis for the group.

Protegés:
Members that caught the direct attention of local Mentors, to the point of being brought under their wing. At this point they are trained to further enhance their skills and begin taking slightly more important contracts. Mentor tend to share their own personal skills, varying from teaching Hadian magic to sharing trade secrets of their own makings

Puppets:
Not quite a rank, but a form of limbo between Protegé and Mentor. When a Protegé reaches a high enough point of their training, they begin taking contracts that act as trials, to see if they are apt enough to be a Mentor. These contracts tend to be both actual contracts, aswell as missions developed by the guild itself.

Mentors:
Of the Silverfangs that typically reside in the Hideouts, these are the strongest. From assassins, thieves to mages and warriors they ascended above being a Protegé and continued increasing their skills by themselves with time. They have access to all of the Hideout’s privileges and have ways of contacting the Whisperers.

Whisperers:
The eyes and ears of the guild, Silverfangs that have infiltrated and integrated into society, posing from the local smith, to a member of high nobility. The whisperers are priceless for the guild as they bring with them the greatest influence within the Kingdom. having their grasps around all of the kingdom, they are the one that are contacted when someone wishes to hire the guild, as well as the ones that contact the mentors. although the higher whisperers, those that are disguised for a more political purpose of manipulation cannot afford the risk, so they don’t reveal themselves, ever.

Serpents:
Those who have taken on the place of the Original six, The identity of these figures is unknown to all but themselves and a few whisperers, they are spread through the lands, disguised much like Whisperers. They send their commands through the whisperers and control the guild, spending their time plotting and manipulating the kingdom, leading it into their favor.

The members that the guild had through centuries have come from many places, different continents, many of those have been strong magic wielders, cultists, sorcerers and many others. this has left an imprint in the guild, bits and parts of their knowledge were held, in the form of notes, books, scrolls, items and other trinkets. with time some Mentors and Whisperers devoted themselves to putting these bits together, eventually creating an arcane alphabet originating from a mixture of dozens of other forms of magic. in honour of the whisperer that wrote several tomes on this form of magic, Hadia, it was officially called the Hadian alphabet, although it’s more commonly referred to as Snake’s tongue.

This form of magic uses the arcane essence of the caster itself, channeling small bits of the energy and refining it into spells, that are stored within arcane focuses. due to this nature, the caster can’t store to many spells at once since it shares space with his own essence as well as needing to give time for the that essence to ‘recharge’. The more accustomed to the magic the caster grows, the more spells they can wield.

The uses of the Hadian alphabet vary from incantations and spells that can be used at will as long as they are stored, to more time consuming spells that imbue themselves into objects or constructs. like enchantments, traps, or arcane tinkering. some spells attempt to replace the long time consuming rituals by creating, one use or a few uses enchantments. in these ways, it is a very flexible and intricate spell system.

The hideouts scattered over Aspharia bring a safe haven to all sorts of people that have been outcasted by the law. They are present all over the Paedator kingdom, and each other region has a single hideout, the areas with hideouts are: Aelholt, Srohl, Corhall, Westedge, Eastedge, Lormere, Reinholt, Kinesly, Mor. Some of the Paedator hideouts are considered the main dens, and the hideouts in other regions are called outposts.

Main dens:
* Westedge: this city, known for it's intense comerce and essential role in the trade routes and economy of the kingdom. mirroring this, many merchants are more willing to buy stolen goods to make a profit, and the Silverfangs took notice of this, making this den have the best comercial contacts of all the hideouts.

* Aelholt: This hideout where most knowledge on Hadian magic converges, aswell as other subjects. there is a fairly large library complex within this hideout accessible to protegés and above, it contains many books, from stolen copies to books written by mentors or whisperers.

* Corhall: This den is known for being the only den that deals with slave trading, from selling and buying, to giving refuge to runaway slaves. Although if slaves prove not to be worthy of the guild they are captured and thrown into the trading and selling many times ending back to their owners, they also have other forms of human traficking.
