The Urchin Scrap heap

The Urchin scrap heap resides in district Gamma of  Dyskoi and has formed from a lose collective of cast aside children of the slums. here they congergate at a large outlet from Alpha and beta, where scraps of metal, discarded kitchen utensils, and most importantly, small bits of tech, will acumulate. the small ramshakel town of metal plates come to life most of all every week or two, to hold a large auction for gangs to bid on. these auctions are most often a peaceful affair, where even rival gangs, as long as no violence is actively going on, will be polite with each other. and where many of those who come already know one another, may share a drink while they are at the auction.

Demographics

Concisting of orphans, castouts, and those who don't know how they got there, the urchin shanty town is made up of children anywhere between just old enough to not die from not standing up in the muck and grime, to those who would be thirteen if anyone kept count. the oldest bosses, who tend to be the ones to stay the longest, have been fifteen or sixteen, before gangs have offered them work in their ranks, and a new boss has taken their place.

Government

The scrap heap is lead by a boss who is changed out every now and then, as the current leader tends to be picked up by a gang when they are old enough, offered a position with more prosperous opportunity. as this has become tradition, so has it become that the boss will take on a disciple that can take their position in time, often a few as to make sure they pick a good successor.

Defences

An army of children ready to defend their family with rusty scrap metal.

Assets

The scrap heap acts as the main resource of this settlement, and is both the most valuable and most dangerous part of the urchin Shanty town, as if someone decides to dig deeper into it, they may well be buried alive. and unless they can cry for help, often can only hope for a quick death by something within the pile, else they will have to wait for dehydration to kick in.

Guilds and Factions

Within the Scrap heap, there isnt much in the way of factions, as all who are there, find it more beneficial to work together as a large found family then to split up. asside from the boss calling the shots in big matters, the Scrap Sibbligns work as one large unit, and too make sure to always be listening for anyone stuck in the heap is a commonly held norm.

Architecture

The heap is the center of the shanty town of urchins, made out of sheet metal slammed together with nails, tied with lose bits of rope or even metal string, its a unstable mass of box buildings.
