Events

Turf War with Idon Raiders

• An open war began between the Goose Family and the Idon Raiders in Feb. 2009.
• Ceasefire and blood money paid to the Goose Family. Final death tally was ninety dead Idon Raiders to an unknown but significantly fewer number of deaths of Gooses.
• Quotes from the Matriarch.

"After reports of raids on Crossing by the Idon Raiders, The Goose Family felt it was time to let this group of misfits and miscreants know that there are bigger dogs that prowl this playground. Two days ago in a brilliant display of violence war was declared on the so-called Idon Raiders. Deaths were reported far and wide, from the remote Islands all the way to Shard and even as far north as Theren. If there were Raiders to be found, we hunted them down and executed them.

Once we felt our message had been heard a meeting of leaders was arranged and an agreement was reached. For a sum we, the Goose Family would agree to a temporary cease fire of sorts. Half of this was paid up front with an understanding that in 4 days, if both parties have abided by the agreement the other half shall be delivered. This is obviously still a quite volatile situation, both sides keeping their swords close at hand on the off chance the silence is broken by either party.

As the Goose Family has no true loyalty but to themselves and the highest bidder however, the Raiders were warned that we shall remember their names for the future and shall they cross us or if the proper payment is offered, they shall see us standing over their graves once again."

Wedding of Vannir and Avrii

The wedding began with a meeting among the Wedding Party, then the Goose Family. Rings bearing the Goose family crest were given to those among the family.

Set solidly into the brushed platinum ring is the image of a vicious grey goose flapping its wings and honking violently at a passerby. Faint etching of words in block letters can be read on the inside of the band.
"Fear the Goose."

Alliance

Rumors abound of the Crime Syndicate joining an Alliance to defend the provinces against Lyras, were just that, rumors. Due to several underhanded insults throughout the negotiations with the Alliance a decision was reached not to aid the defenders in any way. Individual Gooses have gone on to fight the undead throughout the provinces, however an organized assault remains put on hold until such a time that adequate payment can be gathered for their troubles.

Mascot, Emblem, Etc.

Booze
A curious grey goose of the Goose Family Crime Syndicate. He is rumored to be under command of the Goose family Matriarch and sightings of Booze are an often omen of impending death. Beware the Goose. Fear the Goose.
