What's next?

housewife to house-ma'am

After his lovely time with Saturn, Hizz knew it was time to expand his forces to counter the DL, asking Saturn if she was okay with it. Once she agreed, Hizz happily planned to find/make his next babe, thinking that he needed something to expand his scope, rather than his power. To do this, Hizz asked Saturn if any of her squires knew of really big information guilds or similar organisations that could spread their influence around the world. It took a moment, but Saturn came up with three possible groups:

  1. Dark Claw: A criminal syndicate selling ****, slaves, jewels, and a myriad of other things, with most being in an illegal capacity, while the rest act as fronts. Hizz had to admit, for a medieval fantasy world, their knight houses and governments were decently on top of things. Still, Dark Claw is the biggest and most powerful organisation in the world in terms of reach; they're obviously weaker than nations, but for Hizz's goals, they seem like the right fit. They have even evaded the DL's mere knowledge of them, becoming the best cross-species organisation through crime. The one leading this organisation is a man people call The Robber. Not much is known about the man, since he always talks in shadows or with a mask, usually hiding his face under a top hat with darkness magic, making any trying to remember him or look at him see a face covered in shadow. However, what is known is that copycats don't make it through the day, and he always seems to be where he needs to be, whether that's killing a traitor, making a deal, or anything else of the like.
  2. Marion Merchants Guild: Easily the biggest legal enterprise, Marion has its hands in infrastructure management and ownership, information, and trade. They are made up of guilds that came together over hundreds of years through marriage, creating a strong leadership led by having each merchant in their organisation, adding to the group's bloodline, giving them total authority over the guild. However, as they grew larger, this policy changed as they consolidated power, going from a bunch of merchants they controlled to several great merchant houses, to all merchants under the Marion family's authority. It's still a tradition for the heads of families to marry a merchant group yet to add their blood, but this now includes many merchant groups or caravans, giving the head a plethora to choose from and fall in love with. The one leading this group is John Marion. His power is absolute, and he leads the merchant group with absolute authority, possessing a mixed bloodline of various races, cultures, and societies, making some see them as half-blood worms or an example of their people, unified.
  3. United Powers Association: The United Powers Association is like the UN, although they don't allow all nations to join (like the UN); instead, those it lets in are the ones it considers leaders of the world, major powers sitting at the top who make the real decisions for the world. Such groups include the Marion Merchant Guild, Dark Claw, the DL's army, Prague (not Earth's Prague), the major magic towers, nations with big militaries, nations with the ability to mess with the global economy, nations able to mess with food supply and create shortages, a lot of international conglomerates, major religions, lichs who've made it big, and people like DL who posses a lot of power with an organisation, either by themself or because of the organisation. The one leading this group is Mario Vashtes. His power isn't absolute; this organisation mirrors the UN, without moral constraints, voting on whatever the collective wants, with the understanding that others follow the vote. However, Mario does have the ability to call on the forces of each faction, and his vote comes with a lot of sway, even having 4 additional votes when he makes a decision, giving him 5 in total.

As it stood, Saturn could make a big effort in fighting them, possibly dismantling one of two of these intercontinental powers; she was made to be a titan of power, so any less would be disappointing, but this wasn't what Hizz needed. So, instead, Hizz had Saturn send in her squires as spies, rescinding the darkness as she had them work their magic to gain power or authority. Hizz wasn't sure what he'd do to them just yet, but he was sure that such powerful men didn't treat their women right, formulating his plan.
