View source for Brotherhood of Rooks/Timeline of Rook-Related Activities

'''The Brotherhood of Rooks''' were born in the imperial protectorate of [[Wehnimer's Landing]] in the year 5112. Their benefactor at the original time was a mystery, and they seemingly sprung up overnight, first appearing as hooded figures wearing dark bird masks with razor-sharp silver beaks. For many months these Rooks terrorized shopkeepers in Wehnimer's Landing, using intimidation to get them to sign up for protection or face risking their shops and livelihood or even their lives. It was later discovered that the Rooks were merely using magical items to maintain their bird-like visage and help them to move quickly and unseen throughout the town.
 
The Rooks have primarily been self-contained to Wehnimer's Landing, but have had some small incursions into Solhaven where they conducted a number of bank heists, attacked ships from [[Vornavis]] bringing supplies to the Landing, and were even involved in a smuggling operation arming [[krolvin]] warships with weapons and armor to raid imperial towns along the [[Great Western Sea]].
 
The Brotherhood operates on various levels of secrecy, and many times, fellow members are even unaware of the identity of those who serve alongside them. It is said the ranks of the Rooks are filled with the likes of merchants, tradesmen and commoners, all the way to pirates, bandits, and thieves.
 
It has since been learned that the Brotherhood of Rooks has had connections to many imperial criminals, such as [[Elithain Cross]], [[Drangell]], and [[Stephos DeArchon]]. Because of their criminal activities within the Empire, even on a small scale, and their proximity to imperial lands being based out of Wehnimer's Landing, they are deemed an unlawful organization in the eyes of the Sun Throne.

Their former leaders have included Drangell, [[Alendrial DeArchon]] who had been called "Mother", and a man who called himself [[Rysus]]. Rysus died during the events of [[The Rone Resurgence]], poisoned by a substance provided by [[Praxopius]].

In 5119, a new leader emerged: a masked woman whose identity was not known but who called herself "[[Mother]]."  It was presumed that Mother was well-known in and around the Landing and would be recognized if her face was seen. Many adventurers believed her to be Alendrial DeArchon reprising her role, but it was ultimately revealed in 5/5121 that it was [[Casiphia]].
 
Their symbol is of a red outline of a rook.

As the proceedings continue, Rooks begin to fire and a few adventurers join the attack as the Rooks kill off eight Malluch followers. The rest enter the forest and Malluch sends the bloodguards into town, saying they'll kill eight Rooks in exchange for the lives taken; however, instead they take seven lives and briefly abduct Leafiara seemingly to send a message.

(*The coup refers to a multi-month series of prior events in which the Consortium escorted Judge [[Renpaw]] away, somehow replaced him with interim judge [[Manard]], had Manard remove Mayor [[Leafiara (prime)|Leafiara]] for involvement with helping the Rooks acquire the [[Hand-held Pylon|hand pylon]]s, then somehow prevented the town council from allowing a mayoral election until a compromise could be reached with rewritten laws and the placement of Amos as Steward of the Guilds.)
