The Shroud Syndicate
Textual submission

Once a member of Clan Tarentum, Magik was aware of the Shroud's existence. With no insight into it's undertakings, the Shroud Syndicate was left to the imagination for most of us. Conversations surrounding the Shroud were prohibited to those outside it's ranks. Not much was known about the Shroud except that Tarentum were the guardians of the Shroud. All non hyperspace travel was diverted to the outskirts of the Shroud. An outpost controlled by Clan Tarentum under the Dark Council. Tarentum guarded the entrance to the Shroud from outside visitors. Clan Tarentum were the "Guardians of the Shroud".

After Tarentum's closure Magik found himself on the streets of Estle City in Port Ol'Val. He was then approached by Clan Arcona to join them. As a Rogue in Estle City he made no difference dead or alive. The Dajorra System is where he made his home as Rogue on the run. Tarentum had fallen and it's members where forced to pursue other means of independence. Tarentum still lives on, but to only those who seek it. The Arconans embraced his presence as they watched him for some time while in Estle City. He had made new contacts among the Arconans and was welcomed into their ranks. As differences were set aside Magik made himself at home in Estle City now a new member of Clan Arcona.

As the days and nights went on Magik found a new way of life as an Arconan. Joining in the Arconan operations and missions here in Port Ol'Val. It was hard for Magik to believe he was here for a reason. His existence in Estle City was no mistake. The circumstances surrounding Tarentum had brought him here to the Dajorra System for this very reason. As Tarentum succeeded it's misfortunes Arcona excepted his calling. Magik quickly took to the secretive operations on the streets of Estle City ran by Arcona. Operations in the Port were secluded and well guarded. He was now under control as a newly appointed member of the Clan.

As things were going well for Magik in Estle City he began to ponder Tarentum's past. As his allies were now distant in the galaxy. He wondered what had happened to Tarentum's operations. Where had their presence taken them. As he kept in touch with numerous allies once members of Tarentum he needed questions answered. Reaching out to them indeed settled his frustrations as he was looking for some sort of explanation for his new undertakings. As the pieces started to come together Magik was no longer puzzled with frustration. He accepted his new role in Arcona as he assessed his presence in Port Ol'Val.

As thing progressed in Estle City Magik was a now a trusted Arconan. He had been in numerous Arconan missions as he looked upon the City, wondering if the was something more out there for him. He reached out to Arcona for answers. His questions did not go unanswered.
He was then approached by several ranking members of Arcona.

Magik was aware of the Shroud Syndicate as a Tarenti. As the Arconas explained it's existence to him in detail. They wanted him to join the Shroud and become a member of the Shroud Syndicate with Arcona. The criminal operations were laid before him in Estle City and Port Ol'Val. The Shroud organization throughout the Dajorra System was now his. As he accepted the Shroud and became an appointed member of the Shroud Syndicate. His orders rested before him in Ol'Val. As Tarentum was once "Guardians of the Shroud," Magik took his place amongst within their ranks.
