The Sunseo Syndicate

Description
The Sunseo Syndicate is a criminal organisation based in Paeleuah. Their main branch is in Daelin city but they also have a hand in the capital city, Rahnmul. They are said to be involved in drugs, theft and the trafficking of precious items, and apparently have many rivals. Romus described the Sunseo as "corporate criminals." According to Ki Baaris, the gang would be able to sell castings of powerful spells, but would likely demand a non-monetary (and illegal) form of payment.

The Sunseo's symbol is a black sun with a sword bisecting it horizontally. It is implied that most or all members have this symbol tattooed on their hands.

"It Is Written" (0x1)
Sunseo members Sparrin and Taixu were encountered in Gonglu, where Sparrin initially attempted to warn the party away from investigating the ongoing disappearances. It was described as unusual for the Sunseo Syndicate to involve itself in the affairs of such a small town, and many locals suspected that the Sunseo were in fact the culprits.

"En Guarde" (0x2)
The party initiated contact with the Syndicate, having correctly guessed that they too were trying to prevent further abductions. According to Sparrin, the Sunseo were present due to an ongoing suspicion that there were worshippers of Yan Turin in the region, which had led them to Gonglu when Eida Goodearth reached out to them about the ongoing disappearances.

"Chat with the Cat" (0x3)
The Sunseo encouraged the party to investigate the home of Ryme Flattil for evidence of cult worship, which the party did.

"Master of the House" (0x4)
Once the cult in Gonglu had been dismantled, the Sunseo showed little interest in continuing to pursue Ryme Flattil. However, Taixu did help the party track her a short distance beyond the town before parting ways, before alluding to "unfinished business" in Gonglu.

"Travels and Tribulations" (1x1)
The party arrived in Daelin city, which is the home of the Sunseo Syndicate, and met with one of their contacts, Ki Baaris. Baaris had been alerted to Ryme Flattil's activities by the Syndicate and was keeping an ear out for news of her through his own contacts.

"Fissures" (1x9)
It was revealed that Laik Peiume had made contact with the Sunseo Syndicate about securing a possible deal for Godric's rescue from the demiplane. Ultimately, this proved to be unnecessary.

"Following the Wind" (1x10)
Eida Goodearth informed the party that their "mutual friends" Sparrin, Taixu and Marric had departed Gonglu not longer after the party did.
