Coriander Thorn had made a name for himself as the Fairy "Don" of the Glitterati, a criminal organization which would grow into one of western Commona's most notorious gangs. After decades of thieving, bribing, and racketeering, he had become familiar with all manner of law enforcement across the Fencrest Foothills, and even more familiar with the region's criminals. By far the most secretive, and the most dangerous, of these criminals were the Fold, a cult that most in Somnum had never even heard of.
Only by growing the Glitterati into a notable enough organization did Don Coriander come into contact with the cult. Over time, the fairy gangster met other minor cult members, and from different conversations, pieced together an idea of where the Fold kept their treasure. Disparately, he learned that they protected a massive hoard behind a magical Dwarf-Door, had a hideout in tunnels below the Murkmire Marshlands that connected to the Deepways, and finally, that they kept an important key in Bleak End.
Coriander believed that this key opened the Dwarf-Door, and that generations of the Fold's riches lay behind it. If his theory was correct, the Glitterati could steal the key and gain enough wealth to buy a kingdom; the Don, however, was planning something much grander than that.
