ABOUT OUR GROUP.
We're a criminal underground group based in Ishgard. We have a two venues that we run once a month each. A casino that serves as our main front in Ishgard and a tea house that serves as our front in Kugane. Along with those two regular events we also host a fight night once a month and regular FC specific events as well to further the plot of the Dealers.
A SUMMARY OF OUR STORY.
The Dealers was a group founded decades ago by wealthy Ishgardian nobels in order to have a place to play out their darkest desires. Several years ago two low ranking members saw the flaws in the way the Dealers was being run. They saw the overwhelming greed that was festering within the House (the group that runs the Dealers) and they decided to take control for themselves.They recruited a third low ranking member and the three of them overthrew the original House. Brutally murdering every single one of them. Ridding the group of the disease, the three of them inserted themselves in the vacated places of power. The new House decided to rebuild, ridding the group of slavery and any other ventures that could put to much attention on them.Millie and Kaylemfein (two of the three House members) decided to infiltrate a rival criminal syndicate, the Black Lotus. Playing the long game the two of them slowly broke down the Lotus from within and took any resources that the Dealers found valuable.Now the Dealers are coming back out of the shadows and reclaiming their hold Ishgard's underground.

THE PREMISE.
The Dealers of Death is a criminal organization that was founded on back alley gambling to cover their more illicit endeavours. Now they use a Casino (The Vigil's Last Dance) as a front and to bring in more clients.The Dealers of Death is organized into five Courts, the Court of Wands, Court of Blades, Court of Coins, Court of Cups and finally the Major Arcana. Each division has a role to play within the Dealers.Given the gambling aspect of the Dealers they have been known to take Indentured Servants, allowing people to work off their debt to the Dealers through taking on jobs and contracts within the organization. They don't really care how the debt is paid, just that.
THE SETTING.
Balmung FC house & Casino • Empyreum • WARD 6 PLOT 18
Malboro FC house & Tea House • SHIROGANE • WARD 29 PLOT 27
Content Warning!
We are participating with dark, and possibly heavy topics of roleplay. The acts of violence, torture, drug use, human trafficking, sexual assault and rape are possible aspects of roleplay within the walls of our FC. Keep in mind that no one is being forced to participate in such roleplay. Players in our group will accept that such roleplay does exist with us, but they don’t have to participate in it. If unable to handle it, then we are not the group for you and should look elsewhere for your RP needs. If you do plan on participating in this kind of an RP, then you must absolutely make sure that anyone involved in such a story consents to that level of roleplay.
HISTORY.
Several years ago, a select group of Ishgardian nobles and members of the Holy See convened discreetly in the back alleys of the Brume. Their shared interest in high-stakes gambling necessitated disguises to avoid drawing attention to their participation in such an unconventional form of entertainment.They sought a group that, while morally flexible, maintained a firm ethical code. This group would then arrange clandestine gaming sessions for Ishgard's elite, with locations varying each time based on a prearranged message. The extravagant sums of gil exchanged at these events became the subject of whispered legends and rumors, fueled by the nobles' hubris and insatiable desire for scandal, as long as their social standing remained unaffected.
Eventually, however, their interest waned as money lost its significance to them.The stakes were raised significantly, and they began wagering the lives of their servants and even themselves. Eventually, the anonymous gambling organization adopted the moniker "The Dealers of Death," attracting high society individuals seeking to indulge in the darker aspects of their adrenaline-seeking desires.Over the years, The Dealers expanded their operations and diversified their revenue streams. They established deep connections with the Ishgardian Elites through various means, including information trading, blackmail, kidnappings, and bribery.Several years ago two low ranking members saw the flaws in the way the Dealers was being run. They saw the overwhelming greed that was festering within the House (the group that runs the Dealers) and they decided to take control for themselves.They recruited a third low ranking member and the three of them overthrew the original House. Brutally murdering every single one of them. Ridding the group of the disease, the three of them inserted themselves in the vacated places of power. The new House decided to rebuild, ridding the group of slavery and any other ventures that could put to much attention on them.Millie and Kaylemfein (two of the three House members) decided to infiltrate a rival criminal syndicate, the Black Lotus. Playing the long game the two of them slowly broke down the Lotus from within and took any resources that the Dealers found valuable.
The two of them brought Iliara along with them from the Lotus and she joined the House as the member to oversee the Court of Wands.

Major Arcana Information
The Dealers of Death are an enigmatic group, from the earliest days of their inception they have used monikers to refer to each other. Over the decades of their operation, it has become customary to line the moniker up with their personality or if failing that, their role within the society.Only one member can hold a title at a time so choose yours wisely.(Your character does not have to take a Major Arcana role in order to participate. These are a helpful hook if you'd like to use one.)
Dealers' Courts
The Dealers of Death have been built on taking the money of the wealthy in more ways than just gambling. Being willing to do the dirty work that others aren't, means the Dealers have developed several courts to keep things organized.Within each court are titled roles, this allows people who haven't chosen a major arcana title to claim a different one within their court of choice. These titles are as follows:
Ace, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Lucky Seven, Crazy Either, Nine, Joker, Page and Knight.If you select a titled role within a court you will be able to use that as your character's moniker within the society. Ie: Ace of Cups or Crazy Eight of Blades.
