If the Dark Brotherhood was the biggest underworld organization in the western region of Girvent Forest, then the Syndicate would be an unrivaled underworld organization in the entire human realm. They originated from the Free Trade Confederation in the South, and after a thousand years of development, they had now spread all over the human world. And there was a division of the Syndicate in the Girvent Forest which ruled over the entire southern part of the forest.
The Dark Brotherhood was like an ordinary snake, while the Syndicate was like a giant underground serpent. They had to be immensely powerful to have survived this long because different kingdoms in the realm of humans had unleashed multiple attacks on the Syndicate in attempts to eradicate them. But those attacks only resulted in brief periods of dormancy—the Syndicate always managed to somehow re-emerge and then, in a short span of time, regrow until they reached their former glory. They were like wild weeds – neither fire nor blades could wipe them off the face of the Earth.
Syndicate was as hard to get rid of as scabies because there was a figure leading the organization in the cover of darkness, an almost invincible figure with formidable strength.
This figure was the shadowy puppeteer who pulled all the strings out of everyone's sight. He was the master of thieves, the king of the Firuman Continent's underworld, and the original founder of the Syndicate – Morpheus!
