The Four Families

The Four Families are the bankers and merchants of Reliad. They are the Lawful Evil member of the Council of Nine.

Guild Information
The Four Families are a loose association of Reliad's four wealthiest families and their associates. Though ostensibly in charge of banking and merchant services throughout the city, it is all but common knowledge that the Families are more likely the source of Reliad's burgeoning organized crime syndicates. It goes without saying, however, that the Families are all obscenely rich and slanderous remarks against them seem invariably to result in the speaker turning up missing. They have not felt the results of the Drow occupation with impunity, however...many of the Families' stores were ransacked by the invading forces, leaving the Corleones and Van Lockes now significantly more well-off than the Barnetts and LaCroix. What effect, if any, this will have on inter-guild relations remains to be seen, however, as the Families never seem to be without an escape plan or two up their sleeves.
