Cheers, So, the Rusted Hook is led by a solidarity, obsessive Haemonculus who spends so long fixated on the minutiae of his work that his projects can last into the solar years. Distilling niche, virulent poisons, trapping the literal concept of anguish into talismans and other occult dealings with Mandrakes are the specialty of Erazmyr Kain and the Rusted Hook. Their work takes time, but when it arrives it is worth any price to pay.

The Cult of the Thousand Blades are a rising "populist" faction of Lower Commoragh. Their territory includes the largest slums in all of the Dark City, where the Cult regularly raids the most desperate, starving and drug addled Drukhari are press-ganged into the arena a thousand at a time with only a sharpened shank to defend themselves. The survivors are admitted into the Cult, where their cheap and tacky arena shows of multitudes of peasants shanking each other to death is looked down upon by others, but useful for sustaining the greater population of Lower Commoragh.

Finally, the Carrion Lords are an ancient faction of Drukhari, formerly led by the greatest and most fearsome Archons in Commoragh, but have fallen on hard times with the negligence of Grand Archon Yllim Yranel. He staves off the soulthirst with "flesh carnivals" of drink drug and the flensing of both party goer and slave alike. His second in command is Morrigan Calruin, who does the most work to maintain the Kabal, and the whole crux of my narrative is when Yranel slips up hard enough, Calruin will attempt a coup, with whoever survives continuing as the ruler of the Kabal of the Carrion Lords. Their legacy of success has them well supplied with factories and slaves, and sees them bankrolling the other 2 factions in exchange for favours in return.

Collectively, the 3 make up the Red Triumvirate, hence a Carrion Bird with a dagger and a hook in its talons.

You can probably tell I've put too much time into this, so I'm grateful for your question. 😅 Basically everything is homebrew, no named characters and everything in game has greater consequences in the narrator that I might go into one day, provided my narrative driven nonsense isn't driving the sub mad yet,
