New Six Arms

New Six Arms is the tentative name of the newest incarnation of the former criminal group Six Arms in Mass for the Dead.

Background
Due to the Catastrophe, the fabric of society had changed for human nations. More so for the Re-Estize Kingdom. To safeguard its borders, many of the corrupt nobles with underworld ties had decided to cut their cut their patronage to many criminal activities to refocus spending on strengthening their nation.

The loss of the backing from the nobles was a severe blow to Eight Fingers, causing all the Executives to quit and retire. A few such as Zero refused to end his life of crime. Rather than vanish and live an ordinary life as his former colleagues chose, Zero aimed to make a new criminal empire using his team of Six Arms as the new leaders of the underworld. For the first few months, Six Arms managed to establish a new criminal network with the backing of some noble. Meanwhile Zero rebranded Six Arms as a upstanding worker team earning respect from the guards of the Royal Capital, eliminating the stigma to his groups name while operating an illicit operation. When seemed Zero’s plan seem have come to fruition, the nobles that were backing them immediately pulled back their funding and what followed was a complete dismantling of the criminal network by the Kingdom’s forces.

The sudden crack down of his nascent empire set Zero and his comrades back into the shadows. After some deliberation the group learned that the crack down was a result of the Kingdom signing the Tripartite Agreement to join in a military alliance with the Baharuth Empire and Slane Theocracy, creating the Tripartite Alliance. All prospects of a new criminal empire seemed low, but Zero not willing to admit defeat decided to move his operation to E-Rantel as it was the new seat of power for the Alliance.

Once in E-Rantel, Zero learned of that the third Trilateral Conference would begin, where all three leaders of the Three Kingdoms would meet to discuss future policy. The criminal desired to destabilize the Alliance and worked with Zurrernorn to create a horde of undead within the city. The plot failed though, due to the intervention of the protagonist's new adventurer team and Blue Roses. In the conflict, Davernoch was killed, and everyone in Six Arms was arrested save for Zero who fled.

Later Zero resurfaced at the Trilateral Conference as a vassal to Emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix, who pardoned the criminal as well as provided diplomatic immunity to his remaining Six Arms compatriots, releasing them from prison. They worked under together alongside the imperial knights, and helped raise a force of workers to strengthen the Empire. When E-Rantel was threatened by a massive army of Chaos Beast s, Six Arms led the workers to fight the monsters at the quarry near the city. The workers were meant to hold the Chaos Beasts long enough for the imperial reinforcements to arrive. However when the knights arrived, on cliffs of the quarry, Zero noticed that they were not coming to their aid. Having a bad feeling, Zero orders his team to get to higher ground. His instincts proved right, as the imperials had set up a trap using the workers as bait, killing both worker and Chaos Beast in a giant pit of acid. Despite being used as bait, the ploy was praised by Zero seeing it as proof of of Jircniv of being worthy as a leader. However not everyone on his team felt the same as the idea that the emperor was willing to sacrifice them unsettled them. In the end it would cause the team of Six Arms to split.

Trivia

 * Ironically the other members of Six Arms who were left for dead or left on their own accord did not fare better in their individual pursuits.
 * Davernoch who was decapitated by Soi out of anger due to his title "Undead King", was revived after members of Zurrernorn collected his remains and reattached the head back to his body. He joined the cult as a member and worked with them to kidnap bride candidates around the Marquis Blumrush's city of Re-Blumrushur. However he was killed by Narberal when the protagonist's Darkness and Blue Roses came to investigate.
 * Edström separated from Six Arms shortly after witnessing Emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix callously use several workers teams as bait to destroy a a horde of Chaos Beast s. She reunited with Davernoch and joined him in acting as a hired arm for the death cult. But after the adventurers arrived and got wind of Zurrernorn's plans, she was knocked out by Evileye and presumably arrested.
 * Succulent left the same time as Edström, though his whereabouts are unknown.
