The Trust
Alignment: Neutral to Evil
The Trust are the core group of clerics that have secretly banded together to influence the lands. Members join for various reasons, but it is a group of neutral to evil aligned clerics for no good cleric would find the goals of the Trust palatable. The Trust seeks to plant someone inside every royal and noble court in the lands, and then slowly and intricately begin to influence the happenings of that court and land. Some join and work as an Trustee because they feel that a certain royal family are simply not worthy of the title, some more nefarious reasons are for power over lands, nobles, and individuals. They create intricate schemes and plots that may include kidnappings and assassinations but most Insiders work for years - even decades - gaining the trust of the individual noble or royal they are influencing so that when they suggest a turn of events or choice to be made, they are trusted enough to be followed. The final goal of the Trust is unknown at this time.
They communicate through a code system that uses their various holy texts and tomes. This code system switches every so often, so one must be in the loop currently to be able to receive and send messages to the leaders. This is a secret organization and at this time no one is the wiser, though some ex-Trustees have spread rumors of the group. Though the Trust are so powerful that any rumors spread are quickly squashed, and there are very few ex-Trustees alive for very long. Though unknown, the actual leaders of the Trust are powerful members of religious orders in various kingdoms; some so squeaky clean and apparently good aligned none would ever consider the intrigue and darkness behind closed doors. One does not seek to join the Trust, and any that happen to hear of them and seek to join do not live very long. You don't find them, they find you.
Trustees all go by a code name, and the leader is simply known as "The Key". Some of the names of prominent Insiders are "Gold Fox", "White Raven", and "Sheath".
