Thieves' Cant is a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows one to hide messages in seemingly normal conversations; only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
Creatures who know thieves' cant also understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.
