Organised Crime
The majority of organised crime in Acrea is conducted under the Camarilla, a federation of organised crime families. First established in 1918, the Camarilla was formed as a governing entity for the various major national crime syndicates which existed in Acrea at the time, providing a framework for cooperation and conflict mediation under an Överchef or Overboss, also called the Patron des patrons. Its name comes from the Acrean French term Le Camarille, Nordicised as Camarilla and a reference to Acrean folkore, which refers to a secretive group who surround a ruler. The Camarilla is composed of several crime families or "clans", who are often territorially divided to avoid conflicts of business operations. The Overboss is an informally elected position, often held by the most respected (and usually most powerful) boss. The Camarilla itself collects dues from each clan, which used to fund the organisation's upkeep and operations.
