Government
Asphodel is currently run by the Bandit King, who's word is absolute. While Asphodel's government is so disorganised as to be barely worth the name, it is largely composed of those within the Bandit King's trust and who he sees as holding particular potential.
- Bandit King: The individual who leads Asphodel. His word is law.
- Right Hand/Left Hand: Despite the simplicity of the title; these are the bandits who have the best interest of the city at heart, and have both shown promise and followed the honor code. They have almost the same privileges as the Bandit king - with free reign to make decisions unless said otherwise by the King - and their ranking should be well respected. They assist in gaining contracts for the bandits of the city, or handling diplomacy should it be necessary. They bring in recruits and keep the city running smoothly should the Bandit King be absent. There is no set standard to follow for one to improve their ranking within the city, as the final say comes from the Bandit King himself.
- Bandits: Those who joined and partake in the act of thievery; this constitutes the majority of the population.

Honor Among Thieves
Those who live in the city of crime are expected to follow the code of honor. Harming your fellow bandits is not allowed and is considered a punishable offense. These laws can be seen placed around various parts of the city, and there are not any exceptions to the rule save in the case of punishment for breaches of the code. If the honor code is broken, those offenders are subject to punishments which are decided by the Bandit King and his Right and Left Hands. The honor code was established to keep the peace among bandits, seeking to premptively prevent infighting amongst the group. The honor code includes but is not limited to living your life freely and gaining wealth through any means. Adherents to the code are expected to never work for free as everyone and everything has a price, and robbing people is encouraged.
Tolls Those who seek entry into the city are expected to pay a fee
- Protesting the toll is considered an invitation to steal anything of value on one's person.
- Not having sufficient wealth to pay the toll is an invitation to steal anything of value one one's person.

White Falcon Bandits - 1874AC
The increasing reputation of Asphodel as a place for the lawless drew interest from the disorganised criminal element of Esshar. Eventually, the White Falcon Bandits arrived in the city. Taking advantage of their numbers - and decreased number of Ogres in the settlement - the Bandit Leader Havoc and War-Boss Samina of the Ogre Clan came to a mutual agreement; she would depart the settlement and Havoc would take her place, declaring himself the Bandit King of Asphodel. In that same year, the White Falcon made their debut on the world stage; declaring intent to siege the Vanirhallan colony of Aesirheim. In response, High Lord Kaine Dayndros of Fort Erradir declared the intention to aid the Aesir in the oncoming attack, declaring that the settlement was not the White Falcon's to conquer.
