Despite their criminal nature, the Bleeding South is a well-organized and efficient organization with a strict code of conduct and hierarchy. The guild's leaders, known as the Captains, are highly respected figures who command the loyalty and obedience of their crews. The Captains meet secretly to plan their next moves, exchange information, and discuss strategy.
The Bleeding South's activities are a constant thorn in the side of the local authorities, who cannot stamp out the guild's influence completely. The guild has spies and informants throughout the city, and its members are adept at blending in with the crowds and disappearing into the shadows when necessary. Despite the risk of arrest or worse, many young people in Villum are drawn to the glamour and excitement of the Bleeding South, eager to join the ranks of the city's most notorious pirates and smugglers.

The guild's members are a motley crew of humans, dwarves, half-elves, and even some of Garvfian descent, who live by their wits and blades. They specialize in piracy, smuggling, and other illicit activities, using the wealth and power they accumulate to further the interests of their Garvfian overlords.
