"The Great Game is played between the Bazaar's Masters, the surface cities, and other powers. Spies and assassins are their pawns."

The Affable Spy, a poster girl if there ever was one.

The Great Game is the main network of spies everywhere, even on the Surface. It's often likened to a game of chess, especially because every spy literally makes moves.

Some major Neathy players in the Game are the Cheesemonger and the Clathermonts.

Spies tend to pray to St. Joshua, their patron saint; the most experienced have shrines to him that are wrapped in irrigo, so they forget their secret rites after learning and performing them every time.

Confirmed nations/factions:

London (presumably seperate from Britain)

Germany (The Prussian Fellow)

France (The French Controller)

Russia (The Jeweller)

The Khanate (Across the zee)

The tomb-colonies (quite a few spies come from there, actually.)

The Revolutionaries (the Venal Anarchist.)

Who Works with Spies?

Note: these individuals may also work with the Constables.

What do Spies Trade In?
