Ariosto’s Guild

Corwin Ariosto is master of one of the Black Hand’s two traditional thieving guilds. He is an older, more cautious man, who has been with the Hand for many years. Because of his experience and his known trustworthiness, Ariosto has been assigned the much more difficult territory of The South Corridor and adjoining areas including The Labyrinth. His guild is larger, containing four cells (almost twenty men) and includes a cell made up of the finest Hand thieves - possibly the best thieving team in Haven, although a few individuals surpass them in skill.

Ariosto’s guild also maintains contact with the ten to fifteen Black Hand thieves who have managed to infiltrate the Thieves Guild, and forwards information gained from them to other Black Hand units when necessary.

Both guilds emphasize second story operations and team work, and look down upon pickpocketing and individual moonlighting. Because the Hand was originally an operation made up solely of thieves, the two Hand thieves’ guilds are prestigious, and much of the Hand leadership for all guilds is drawn from them.
