A city riddled with corruption is resilient to change. The old blight settles in, makes itself at home, refusing to allow any upstart new afflictions to take hold. That’s why you’re keeping to the shadows: your Master Thieves keeping a sharp lookout on street corners, your Urchins infiltrating the seats of power by lamplight. It’s hard work, but if dishonest people in this city are getting rich, what’s stopping you from taking your fair cut?
The moment to strike hasn’t arrived just yet, but stay vigilant. Your time will come.
