Korvosa's Lesser Secret Societies

[Susan Draconis]

Everyone's read about the Red Mantis and the Pathfinders and other such secret societies but what about those lesser known ones out of the footnotes in the Guide to Korvosa? Other than allusions to Team Rocket of Pokemon fame there's very little on playing in the Darklight Sisterhood. The only blurb on the Rat's Teat Boys is a mention of how they kill you if you don't join.

In wacky and hilarious turns of events only some of which were in my control I have one character who was sold to the Darklight Sisterhood who is now a wererat as well. And of course she was made an offer she couldn't refuse.

I'm flying blind. The thing is, I have the feeling you're all flying blind too. I offer this thread as a place to post ideas, stories, and thoughts on Korvosa'a lesser-known secret societies.

As a place to start I offer one on the Rats Teat Boys. It's got spoilers for Seven Days.

Spoiler:

After the PC's first full moon with the gang, the PCs raided the temple of Urgathoa, captured Lady Andaisin (without killing her, take that! ha!), and came into ownership of a half dozen extra Plaguebringer's Masks. With the plague, laws against mask-wearing, and the black market, I rolled and found disease-resisting magic items to be selling for 230% on the black market. Not having really good contacts, the PCs contacted the Rat's Teat Boys (read: hung out in a dark alley for a while until the nicer rats showed up and sent a nice message) who agreed to ask around in exchange for a 10% brokerage fee. Six Plaguebringer's Masks sold for 230% with the wererats taking a 10% fee.

It's not something they can do everyday but it's useful. Makes them less of a group of minor hoodlums causing basic trouble and more of what I feel a city with a sewer system the size of Korvosa would collect.
