The Brotherhood of Phoenician Sailors

Description
Not much is known to outsiders about the Brotherhood of Phoenician Sailors. They're a rather secretive group, one that takes great pride in that fact. They seem to be less cohesive than the other Council of Venice factions, taking in people who don't seem to fit in the other factions.

At least, that's the image they like to perpetuate.

History
The Council of Venice was broken and disbanded in the late 1930s, as the world was on the cusp of war. Sources say that the Phoenicians were thrown off the Council just before it broke apart, but there are absolutely no written records from that period — as far as we know. The truth has been buried.

Other Information

 * Their headquarters seems to a city floating in the oceans called New Carthage - but details are scant.


 * The Dream Palace - The Phoenicians own the business and use it as their gateway into Tokyo
 * The Buzzing has this to say about the Phoenicians: "Time passes. The fleet evolves into a floating city: New Carthage. Concealed by sorcery and careful craft, only the agents of the purple flag know where it is at any given time. Knowledge is power, and the Phoenicians sell to the highest bidder. With such fluid allegiance, they survive. But when the arcane secret or treasure proves too powerful, the Purple People take special care to keep it from the other factions."
