At a Glance
A criminal organization, born in Waterdeep but exiled and now headquartered in Amn. It is led by the Grandmaster of Shadows, who is (secretly of course) also a member of the Council of Six which governs Amn.
The hierarchy was described in Lands of Intrigue but changed significantly (and probably for the better) in Lords of Darkness. For now, this reflects the 2e organization, with the inclusion of some named individuals from the 3e writeup. It will transition to the 3e hierarchy with the inclusion of named individuals from the 2e writeup. Which just means this page is even more in-progress than others.
