Building a Criminal Empire

Lord of the Rings + Breaking Bad + The Sopranos = Skulduggery

It’s a world ruled by elves, and they have decided that alcohol and magic is illegal for all the other races.
But I know how to make whiskey. In fact, that’s the easy part.
Selling it under their noses and not getting caught and hung will be the hard part.
I’ll need to build a crew, I’ll need to slit some throats, and I’ll need to be five steps ahead of our overlords.
Wanna join me in building a criminal empire?
