The Third Key

What players would know #

The Third Key is a Valdengratz thieves’ guild. It is known less for street robbery than for access: rooms opened without damage, cargo moved between official counts, and introductions made before a person realizes they need one.

Common rumors #

• A Third Key runner can tell whether a lock was opened, copied, or replaced.
• They do not ask whether a client is innocent; they ask who will come looking.
• Their members dislike unnecessary bloodshed because blood makes paperwork difficult.
