The Thieves Guild is a criminal network found in the Western Kingdoms.
Lore[]
The Thieves Guild's activities include extortion, bribery, smuggling, murder, and all manner of illicit activities. They go to great lengths to keep their inner workings a mystery to outsiders, which includes masking its leadership. It usually recruits its members from poverty-stricken slums. Initiates train in pickpocketing, and those who show promise ascend in rank, akin to how a craftsman would ascend in a trade guild. Ascending the ladder of the guild's heirarchy guarantees an individual dangerous, but lucrative work.[1]
History[]
The Thieves Guild arose in the years after Rakkis founded the nation of Westmarch. Since that time, the Guild has spread to cities throughout the kingdom and beyond.[1] By the 13th century it had a presence in Kingsport.[2] Members of the guild were present in Westmarch's capital during the Reapers' invasion.[3]
In-game[]
Thieves Guild members can be found in both Diablo III and Reaper of Souls. They are represented by Brigands of two types, and by Thieves Guild Summoners.
