The criminal organisation Din

Din is the largest known criminal organisation in Farover. They operate more or less in every country of the republic, but they are based in Sunjann. The heads of the organisation call the shots from Sunjann, and the prevalence of Din is the strongest there, which is the prime reason for the country being so corrupt. Din masterminds many different criminal activities, including coups, burglary, fraud, forgery, embezzlement, assassination, etc.

Din's ultimate goal is to become strong and influential enough to eventually overtake the entire country of Sunjann, establish a totalitarian oligarchy, and withdraw from the Kinsian Republic. To accomplish this, their goals are to spread their influence especially in Sunjann, but also the other states as well. They also simultaneously conduct numerous different kinds of operations to recruit new loyal members, and acquire wealth and powerful magic items for themselves from different places in the world. Din has different branches called "chapters" in many places in the republic, and these chapters ultimately answer to their superiors over in Sunjann.

Din has a hierarchical power structure, with many different levels of members who work directly for their superiors. They have a well-established information net, where members only know as much as they need to know about the organisation. Lower ranking members typically only know who their direct superior is, and their knowledge of the organisation as a whole is very limited. Rising in the ranks of Din is a hard and long process, but doing so grants members more wealth, power, information, and opportunities. The prominent figureheads of Din typically act undercover and hide in plain sight, while issuing out orders to subordinates quietly and from the shadows.

The leader of Din, known only as "The Godfather" (real name Remus Ilfaneau), is a human male who is over 300 years old, but seems to be in his 30's. He owns an item called "The Broth of Souls", which collects the souls of those he kills, and grants himself their life force, reducing his age, and making him stronger. On the surface, he is a minor member of the Sunjann council.

On the council, he uses the name and appearance of "Robert Ilfaneau", who is the name of one of his dozens of children. Remus has mastered the mystical procedure called the "Mantle of Whispers", which he is able to sustain for as long as he wishes. He methodically murders his own children, and assumes their identity as his own, to continue on the legacy of his family, while also remaining undercover and avoiding questions of his long life.

Din has a secret trade deal with Merziin, where Din supplies Merziin with slaves in return for magic items and gold.
