The Darkblades were a thieves guild that operated primarily out of Mastwick, though their influence and fear could find its way across the world, even as far as Caer. They were among Trant Thumble's biggest opponents.
Years later, when the dragon Pyre took over the city, the Darkblades assumed responsibility for the people living there, and worked with the nearby New Newfoundland Land to provide food for the citizens. They acted as a kind of low-key resistance against the dragon.
There were 11 levels of dark blades:
- Cutpurse
- Rogue
- Footpad
- Robber
- Burglar
- Shade
- Pilfer
- Sharper
- Magsman
- Thief
- Master Thief
