Not everyone is a hero. In Tamaria, criminals intent on nothing more than carving out a bit of wealth and comfort for themselves mix with warlords beant on world domination. Two groups of criminals vie for control of the underworld. The thieves guild, run by William Deus, does its best to preserve order, acting almost as a government rather than a purely negative force. The more unscrupulous Midnight Suns, led by ninja Thadeus Fly, specialize in assassination, but aren't above the odd extortion. The two groups co-exist uneasily, neither confident of their ability to destroy the other, but both looking for opportunities to dominate.When the infamous 'Glove of Shadows' is discovered, Deus and Fly realize whomever controls the Glove becomes the ultimate thief.
