Since the distruction of their tradtional underground home, the thieves of Maelstrom have been forced to change their methods. Having moved into the abandoned community of Procellamens, the thief guild here has adapted the policy of hiding in plain sight.
To outsiders, the guild appears to be nothing more then another small village, formed mostly of refugees from Ilyamen (as most of the Ilyamen thieves have fled to join those of Maelstrom), with a few tiny farms, a couple of shops and a range of people from the elderly to children. Outsider visitors (few as they are) are greeted warmly, but with no inn in the village as an excuse, are politely encouraged to move on.
Work has begun to form new undergound pathes in and out of Maelstorm, however the task is expected to take years. After this, new routes to Humontis and Talen'sul will be established. For now though, minds from the Ilyamen and Maelstrom guilds have been planted around the city to give fast exits to thieves and more retired members have been recruited to form safe houses.
It is a strained and sometimes struggling system, but for now it's holding up. After all, who would expect thieves to gather in the open?
