The Liberators of the Coin

The Liberators of the Coin is primarily an organization Halflings devoted to (insert trickster/thieving/Halfling god). They pattern themselves after a myth of the god stealing gold coins from his brother on the evening of his wedding. The stolen gold was a part of the wedding ceremony and its absence meant that the ceremony could not proceed. The theft resulted in the trickster being able to marry his brother's intended.

There is no true central authority, so each sect is left to its own devices. Most prefer pick pocketing rather than burglary or other forms of theft. The money is used to further the ambitions and pleasure of each individual thief. There's no charity in this bunch.

The sects are comprised of loosely grouped rogues and other ne'er-do-wells. In most cases, each sect has been brought under the leadership of a reasonably skilled thief, and there's a moderate amount of organization, with the intention of keeping the group out of the hands of the law.

The sects are exuberant and playful. They are prone to brawling after drinking their fill of ale on the spoils of their religious efforts. When not actively celiberating they tend to stay in groups of 5 to 10 individuals. Each member of the cult wears a golden coin on a chain around their neck.

Rare mark

Hall of Honour

for The Liberators of the Coin

The Hall of Honour is your mark on a submission you believe is frick’n awesome — so good you would jump in front of a dragon’s breath to protect the scroll it is written on.

Bestowing HoH also highlights it on the front of the Citadel for about a day, so others see the recognition it earned.

You may bestow HoH on the same submission up to your level (with a short wait between strikes). Five distinct HoH voters raise a work to Golden.

    It is a stereotypical thieves guild... with halflings. Sigh

    Needs something to distinguish this. Right now what is there is well written, but rather unremarkable.

    Yes to what others said before. The myth about the wedding is a nice touch but overall the sub is very flat.

    Reads like half a foot note for a larger piece. It could use some descriptions of the larger world, a view plot hooks, a narrative story or few personalities.
