Secret Cities<br>
The Hidden World of the Thieves Guild<br>
<DIV align="left"><br>
<IMG src="Book/fancy_font/i_51x61.dds" width=51 height=61>t is no secret that, for every rich and bustling city in Cyrodiil, there is an equivalent rich and bustling community of thieves, as they are frequently bemoaned by merchant, noble, and city guard alike. Few people, however, comprehend the degree of orginization maintained by these communities, when in truth, most of the major cities host within them hidden settlements, run and maintained by the guild.<br>
<br>
<br>
The largest of these settlements, as one might conjecture, are in the areas which lay claim to the highest rates of crime and thievery, respectively the Imperial City, and the port town of Bravil. The group in Leyawiin was considered equally large, historically, but in recent generations internal conflict has rendered it less of a force than its more prosperous coevals.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Imperial City's community, known as the Thieves' Grotto, is the centre of operations. The Thieves' Port in Bravil being a less reliable location for mainting effective guild influence, as other illegal powers present within the township - drug dealers and pirates - continuously vie for precedence.
<br>
<br>
Though citizens choose to consider more class-controlled cities such as Chorrol and Skingrad as existing free of the evils that plague places as unfortunate as Bravil, still they host smaller but no less well-orginized Thieves Guild communities. Remarkably, it is precisely this misunderstanding which allows the guild to operate in some ways more openly in the fairer regions of Cyrodiil. It is rumored within the guild, that high ranking members cooperate with the Duke of Skingrad, to maintain a balanced state of affairs in that quarter. The group in Chorrol, oddly enough, is located in the old, no-longer-used crypts of the Chapel of Stendarr. Whether or not this involves some level of understanding with the members of the church is not generally known, but the hideout, old as it is, has never been discovered.<br>
<br>
<br>
The Bruma and Anvil groups are the smallest - many speculate that this is because both cities have their own well-established Thieves Guild equivalents, though not, of course, with the level of orginization maintained by the guild. In Bruma, bandits and raiders from Skyrim predominate, and do not welcome more subtle forms of thievery. Anvil, being a port town, is of course host to pirate factions, although there is also a certain level of protection from within the guild itself, stopping the influence there from gaining in excessive degrees.
<br>
<br>
Cheydinhal is the only city which has no group attatched to it whatsoever. It is well known that this is due principally to the large and well-established Dark Brotherhood presence there.

Secret Cities<br>
The Hidden World of the Thieves Guild<br>
<DIV align="left"><br>
<IMG src="Book/fancy_font/i_51x61.dds" width=51 height=61> 全ての豊かで活気在るCyrodiilの都市に街の活気と同等の豊かで活気在る盗賊のコミュニティがあり、 商人や貴族やガードたちにしばしば嘆かれていることは秘密ではありません。場所ごとの独自性をいくらか含みますが、真実はと言えば、たいていの大きな都市にあるそれらの隠された集落はギルドによって維持されているようです。<br>
<br>
<br>
最も大きい集落と推測されるのは、最も犯罪と窃盗が多いと言われるImperial CityとBravilの港町です。Leyawiinのグループはそれらと同じぐらい大きかったと考えられていましたが、最近の世代は内部で競合を起こしており街の豊かさの規模よりも弱体化を起こしているようです。<br>
<br>
<br>
Imperial Cityのコミュニティ、Thieves' Grottoとして知られているものは活動の中心部です。Bravilの盗賊港はギルドの影響は少なく信頼性が低い場所であり、異なる違法行為の勢力 - 薬物の売人や海賊 - を内包し継続的に勢力争いをしています。

Cheydinhalはグループの存在しない唯一の都市です。よく知られているように強大なDark Brotherhoodの支配が存在するためです。
