The Kraken Society

Within the unfathomable depths of the Sea of Swords dwells an ancient, all-powerful kraken, Slarkrethel. From its undersea empire, Slarkrethel reaches out with psychic contacts to the downtrodden, lost, or lonely, as well as the power-hungry and opportunistic minds along the Sword Coast. For those willing to trade their privacy and purpose in exchange for power and a better life, the Kraken Society becomes a new family. Like most families, it is one fraught with in-fighting and bickering.
The Kraken Society functions predominantly as an Information Network, though only the highest up members know its true founder, purpose, or place in the greater society.
