Tunnel Rats Scyphers
The Tunnel Rats of Mergewater use a unique set of ciphers that are used to send warnings and information to other members of the gang without others knowing. The ciphers and symbols are usually drawn in chalk outside entrances to Mergewater Smuggler's Tunnels which cris-cross under the city.
