Dark Elven mafia

The Dark Elven mafia Mafia-type organized crime syndicate originating in the Dark Elven territories, but mainly operating in other countries where Dark Elven diaspora is present as a minority. It is a loose association of criminal groups that share a common organisational structure and code of conduct. The basic group is known as a "family" or "clan". They recruit exclusively among Dark Elves - outsiders of other races can only become associated at best.

The Dark Elven mafia mainly operates in various big cities in the Occident (Grandfolk, Yanus, Gabyr, Copperport), although their hands can reach much further, if need be.

Activities
The Dark Elven mafia's prime criminal activities are racketeering, loan-sharking, extortion of protection-money, drug trafficking, slave trafficking and contract killing (although they tend to outsource the actual killings to the Brotherhood of the Dark Moon and other similar organizations).

Not all of their activities are criminal in nature - for example, Pirothea Nelvarryl and many other Dark Elven mafiosi have invested a lot of money into perfectly legitimate businesses.
