Uncanny Vagabonds

This group of traveling carnies and outlaws is an extended family with some outsiders mingled within its ranks with around a hundred members, most young and spirited. Many Vagabonds are expert musicians, which is their only legal form of income. They make a living mainly by thieving and illicit practices like scams, counterfeiting, drug trade, and illegal hunting and fishing. As they trav- el the countryside on their caravan of wagons, or when they spend some time in the capital, they prey on the rich. However, they rarely keep their colorful tents up at one place for longer than a season and prefer to be on the move. The Uncan- ny Vagabonds is a very tight-knit organization, not just because of their family bonds but also because of the survival code they follow. No Vagabond will steal from another member of the group or snitch on them, even if this means giving up personal freedoms or even their lives. They are beholden to their own rules and laws and not those of the general society, living according to the rulings of the elders of the closed community.
The Vagabonds speak their own secret language, which they never teach outsiders. True family members are trained to awaken mystical innate magical abilities that run through their bloodline, enabling them to cast a single, carefully practiced cantrip once per day, chosen from the bard class spell list. The leader of the Uncanny Vagabonds is always the most successful member of the family who has proven his intellectual and physical skills through example.
