The Cabal

Named for the mostly harmless golden silk spider that resides in the forests of Hillsbrad, weaving large webs that become traps for the unwary traveller, Nephila is an enigma even to those she purportedly leads.

The Cabal
While the Cabal has yet to have its debut, there is more information becoming available by the day as the group of criminals hasten their efforts to assert dominance in the streets of Stormwind City and elsewhere.

What started as a motley crew of low-life thugs and thieves has since flourished with the arrival of Nephila, opening the dam gates for larger and more organized crime as she recruits those with especially particular skills, ranging from assassins to spies and mercenaries, all of whom willingly sell themselves out to the highest bidder, no matter the job.

Hierarchy
Hierarchy within the Cabal is simple, hinting perhaps at an impatience for beaurocratic idiocy. Nephila stands at the head of this criminal enterprise, employing the services of five Vigos--officers who oversee their respective criminal divisions. The Vigo rank is a much contested one, and it is not unusual for there to be regular replacements as the post "Vigo" occupant disappears or is found killed in strange and unusual ways. Excepting that, the other ranks within the Cabal are a bit more stately; divided into divisions, each crew reports directly to their Vigo, who oversees the promotion (and demotion) of their members, with no direct interference by Nephila. She names who is Vigo, and trusts them absolutely to do their job without fail. To do otherwise would almost certainly guarantee a short walk over a long drop, as she is not above cutting out the weaker links in this otherwise well-oiled machine.

THUGS stand as the lowest of the low, fresh recruits who are given the dirtiest jobs as incentive to work harder and faster.
