The secretive spy ring of The City
The Office of Shadows is an organization of spies under the Bastion Council that officially does not exist, but is also well known throughout the city. Though it is the subject of plenty of rumors, and a few very public and very splashy incidents, in general it manages to keep a tight lid on most of its secrets, including the knowledge of who are part of the office.
The most well known member is the head of the Office of Shadows, the ancient elf Eredeth, who has been called before the The City Council on multiple occasions. Again, despite the fact that his organization does not officially exist.
