The Underbaron of the Middle City is the half-ing Meredin Sandyfoot. He gained his position through his leadership of the Halfling Thieves' Guild, a sophisticated network of smugglers, burglars, and fences that can lay their hands on anything on the Rock and then quietly sellit again. The halfling thieves' guild is not without its power struggles and occasional knifings, but on the whole it is not an evil organization. Opponents of the guild are more likely to wake up with their pants missing than they are to wake up with their throats cut. Because of this simple respect for life, many people shrug off the halfling depredations as a fact of life. The Guild consists of about 35 halflings of various origins, and maintains a mercenary force of several dozen humans, dwarves, and elves to guard its operations. Most of the members are idolized by the halfling community, and it would be very difficult to prove that any specific halfling was actually a member. The Guild defends a large domain including most of the Middle City and some sections of the Low City. **Symbol**: Sling bullet. **Membership**: Any halfling thief. **Agenda**: Defend their territory from other incursions.
