ERA/Operation BLOOD DIAMOND
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
The House of Pentacles has issued a challenge to every member of ERA.
No one knows how long ERA have operated in the shadows, some say decades, others trace their actions back for a thousand years.
Today they emerge from the shadows. Today their seize the reigns of the criminal empires they helped build.
In order to build resources for the fulfilment of the mysterious Masterplan, Baron Blitzman has initiated a worldwide aggressive takeover strategy for amassing wealth and prestige. The wise will pay their tribute, but those whose arrogance has made them think that the power their wield was ever anything more than a gift from ERA will be brought low.
Blitzman has arranged teams of ERA operatives to undertake such missions as they feel appropriate so that ERA’s presence may be felt.
