Under the dune shadows and secret alleys of Dormgard, members of the three factions started to trade and meet in disguise, afraid to be identified by their leaders. Initially, most of their trade involved forbidden weapons and ancient relics used by the Disciples of Cataclysm. Eventually, after expansion of the DAO, they started production deadly weapons in mass. The DAO is characterised by its ruthless approach to business, resorting to any means necessary to get things done. This can mean things such as extortion, bribery, assassinations, corruption, and hacking, just to name a few. Their meetings are usually very secretive, following specific guidelines and formal procedures of governance. Although practitioners of the dark arts, they certainly haven't lost their taste for the major technological breakthroughs brought by the Conglomerate to Mothora. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://mothora.gitbook.io/mothora/set-and-setting/the-daos/shadow-council.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
