They are a gang styling themselves after medieval warriors, wearing full plate armor, favoring melee weapons, and hand-to-hand combat.

The history of the Guild of Silver Larceners is tied to that of the town of Gimrun. Originally a medieval-era town, the town had been re-discovered and re-settled in E7-202 by a group of settlers, among which was Angelus Genvor, then originally a librarian and historianfrom the town of [[Sirvarris]]. Genvor had discovered that the ancient, medieval library within the abandoned town was nearly untouched despite hundreds one of years the four fabled Silverlight Libraries, much like that of abandonmentSirvarris. When the town was settled, he was appointed as the town librarianonce again.
The next year, in 203, Genvor had become obsessed with the newly discovered medieval-era books. There, he learned of the ancient Silverlight Kingdom, which had [[History of the Mazes|reigned dominant in the Mazes throughout Era 4]]. After gathering a group of faithful followers from the local Town Security and arming themselves with the plate armor and longswords found inside the library, Genvor staged a coup against the fledgling town's leadership, assassinating the mayor and former expedition leader, and threatening the other inhabitants with death if they do not swear their allegiance to him. Angelus Genvor renamed himself to '''Angelus Argentum''' and declared the formation of the '''Silverlight Guild''', appointing himself as the '''guildmaster''' (leader) and vowing to recreate the Kingdom and one day conquer the Mazes once again, an act he referred to as "uniting the world under a silver banner once more".
=== Purpose === The Guild's reason for existing is tied to the Silver Crown, a precious artifact found in the town of [[Sirvarris]] shortly after the town was resettled, alongside a medieval-era [[greatsword]] and a document written by King Maratuxa, the last ruler of the Silverlight Kingdom, which ruled the world throughout [[History of the Mazes|Era 4]]. This Crown was incomplete, missing a large mounted diamond. The document explained that King Maratuxa's last wish was for the Silverlight Kingdom to be re-established for the future. To do so, he hid the kingdom's treasure in a secret cache somewhere in the Mazes, locking the doors with a special lock, which can only be opened with one "key": the Silver Crown itself. However, the mechanism will not work if the Crown is incomplete. To open the cache, the Silver Crown must be reunited with its Diamond and inserted into the lock. The first person to do so will gain access to the treasure within and use the wealth to re-establish the Kingdom. Shortly after the Crown was discovered in Sirvarris, roughly 650 years ago, it was stolen; the act was revendicated by a gang known as the Wraiths, responsible for the [[History of the Mazes|Twin Terror Acts of E7-54]]. After the eventual defeat of the Wraiths in E7-55, the Silver Crown was never found among the Wraiths' assets. The Guild was established for the purpose of finding the Silver Crown, reuniting it with its Diamond, then finding the secret Silverlight Kingdom's treasure. As of today, all three are still missing. Guildmaster Argentum vowed to use the treasure to recreate the Kingdom and one day conquer the Mazes once again, an act he referred to as "uniting the world under a silver banner once more". All leaders of the Guild have been mayors of [[Gimrun]] as well as descendants of Angelus Argentum, forming the Argentum Dynasty.
=== The "Larceners" name ===
Originally only known as the ''Silverlight Guild'', the Guild gained their modern moniker of ''Silver Larceners'' only two years later in 205, when several heavily armed and armored members of the Guild orchestrated a heist on the [[Lenox Corner]] jewelry store, emptying the entire shop's inventory and securing a clean escape, with not a single shot fired. Over one hundred items, valued at over [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]1 million, were stolen that day. Among the stolen objects was an item known as the ''Sublime'', a platinum tiara mounted with five gemstones of exceptional quality (three diamonds and two sapphires), at the time valued at [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''18 945'''.
Following the heist, the jeweler famously referred to the heisters as "those scary larceners in their silver armor" while being interviewed. The name ''Silver Larceners'' was penned by the journalist responsible for the interview, and it has been used to refer to the Guild ever since. The Guild seems to have taken this name in stride, as they have also adopted it for themselvesadopting the new name of ''Guild of Silver Larceners''.
