Iron Spiders

Bootleggers, runners, and urchins aligned to the spiders. Known members can be seen wearing heavy iron bracers. The Iron Spiders are an older crime clan that works often with the Dark Edict, but will often yield to them if they were to attack. They are led by an orc named Tozug Deadhammer. He runs the Iron Spiders like a prison gang where the strongest members lead the weaker ones. He is the strongest of them all and claims dominance with the title of King.
Where the Dark Edict runs crime on land, the Iron Spiders rule the water itself. Any fine looking ships have a high likelihood of being attacked by the oddly designed ships of the Iron Spiders, go by the name Spider Striders. The design is that of Galssa Zliikyynn, an older gnome female mage with curly daisy yellow hair and pockmarked pale withe skin. They spend their days collecting tariffs and chasing marks for gold. In their off time they hunt the strange creatures of the Ash North lake and looking for interesting landmarks on the coasts. They are loosely affiliated with the Dark Edict and will work jobs for them on request.

History

The spiders have been pirating on the lake for many years and their main goal is wealth. They don't strive for power like the dark edict. But that makes their influence rather minimal on the lake. they way they usually grow in ranks is taking on prisoners and forcing loyalty upon them which one would think that would lead to the spiders being an unstable group but the comrodery of lost souls bring them together. They light small fires on the boats and many cheers and friendly chat can be heard on the lake in the middle of the night. Nobody knows the location of their lair. its said it is a hidden island in the lake covered by a permanent fog
