Description
A society of children who are between the ages of 7-19. They are beggars, thieves, cons, performers, messengers, and occasional killers. They are homeless, orphans, or runaways who live on the streets of Dargon. They have a rough, loose social code that emphasizes self-reliance and independence. They are very loosely organized under a Shadow King, whose authority varies, depending on the personality and effectiveness of the leader.
