The Arcane Brotherhood is a society of mages that operates, more or less openly, out of the city of Luskan. While the City of Sails is ostensibly ruled by the High Captains, all former pirate lords, the Brotherhood is the true power behind the city. The arch-wizards who rule the Brotherhood have their fingers in any number of unsavory pies, including piracy, slavery, drug trafficking, and smuggling, in addition to their own legitimate trading ventures. The Brotherhood undertakes these activities as a means to an end: establishing economic and political sovereignty over the North.
