Volgrumm Crime Family

The Volgrumm Crime Family is a Dwarven criminal organization operating in Arcstead, especially around Illwood Fortress.

History
The Volgrumm Crime Family was formed when Victor "Strong Vic" Volgrumm immigrated to Arcstead. A former associate of a criminal band operating to the west of Arcstead, the first thing he saw upon approaching Arcstead was Illwood Fortress. An enterprising bandit, he and his sons dug a tunnel from a shack on the outskirts of Arcstead into Cell #029. From there, they began to allow associates of the other families to deliver goods to members inside Illwood. Since then, the Volgrumm expanded their tunnels to three other cells inside Illwood and began smuggling goods in via conventional techniques.

Operations
The Volgrumm possess dozens of small shacks in the western slums of Arcstead, some of which have entries to tunnels. The Chief Warden of Arcstead once estimated that the Volgrumm possessed 45 tunnels, of which 9 lead to Illwood. Another 18 led to holding cells in police stations around the city. The remaining 18 go from shack to shack, allowing the Volgrumm to quickly move around the city and to collect shipments.

In another case, when a police officer entered a Volgrumm tunnel, it was detonated around him, crushing him and collapsing a street in on itself. Following that, the Police Directorate of Arcstead issued a warning to all officers, requiring that no officer enter a sewer or tunnel in pursuit of a criminal.

The Volgrumm have also lead numerous prison breaks, carefully cutting out a section of a cell's wall, removing it, helping the inmate out, and rebuilding the wall from the outside. Illwood officials have since begun laying a layer of bricks below the entirety of the building, to prevent tunnels from opening in prison yards.
