Kinling

A Kinling is the leader of a Golds Gallow subgroup. Kinlings are appointed by the leader of the golds allow and are branded with a special insignia to certify their loyalty to the golds shallow. Members caught with this insignia are killed on the spot unless the guard in question is on the Gallows payroll. Being a Kinling harbors responsibility, it can be both lucrative and fulfilling within the organization but is also extremely dangerous. Not just any regular Gallows member can become a Kinling. One must go through a sequence of tests all of which are unknown to the Kinling, and can happen at any time and place. These tasks are never set in stone and are chosen by the Head of the organization to test Kinlings adaptability and creativity. Those who make it through can enjoy the benefits of power and success.

Responsibilities

A Kinling oversees the business part of a subgroup within the Golds Gallow. This may include adopting new members, add new schemes, expand the underbelly, and pay off guards and constables. He is in charge of all those under him within this subgroup and is in charge of making plans and organizing crime

Benefits

Kinlings are owed a tithe of what the subgroup earns on a yearly basis. This tithe is not set in stone and one's performance as kindling may reduce it below a tithe or may grow. To say the least a tithe of a subgroup would be well enough to secure oneself a nice humble abode in the cloud top district along with fine wines and freshly hunted meat every day for a year.

Grounds for Removal/Dismissal

When a Kinling performs badly over a long period of time, betrays the organization, disavows himself, or is captured, he loses the rank of Kinling and is killed by blood draining by the head of the Golds Gallow.
