Many criminal groups in Elwynn originally began as movements in opposition to the [[Daemonic Vanic State]] established in Elwynn by the [[House of Ettlingar Freyu]] from 1623 to 1651.

Over time however, as the [[Fleur de Lys-Longships Guard|forces]] of the Vanic State thinned out the ranks of the idealists and the ideologically motivated, the survivors, embittered and pragmatic, focused their energies maximising revenues from their various enterprises as an end in itself.

Elwynn

Many criminal groups in Elwynn originally began as movements in opposition to the Daemonic Vanic State established in Elwynn by the House of Ettlingar Freyu from 1623 to 1651. As such their initial forays into criminality were as a means to generate the revenue streams necessary to sustain their anti-regime operations. Over time however, as the forces of the Vanic State thinned out the ranks of the idealists and the ideologically motivated, the survivors, embittered and pragmatic, focused their energies maximising revenues from their various enterprises as an end in itself.
