The Mark of the Blackcoats

Territory

  • The Blackcoats claim the Old Temple neighborhood in the Castle Ward, bleeding over into the western Dock Ward a little.

Badges

  • True to their name, the Blackcoats all wear long black coats, and some of them wear black headwear of some kind as well.

Signs

  • The Blackcoats use coal to "chalk" a black smudge line above the door of a shop under their protection.
  • The Blackcoats use a charcoaled black fist on a back door to threaten the occupants of a building to leave them alone or to pay up.

Activities

Main

  • Their main jobs are protection rackets and muggings. They send a pair of thugs around businesses once a tenday to collect protection fees.

Enemies

  • Fire Kings: They hate the Fire Kings. Their territory used to include the areas that are now contested between them and the Fire Kings. They lost their founding boss, Deema Blackout, to the alchemical fires of the Fire Kings, and lots of them have the burn scars to prove they were there.
  • Six Hands: Their conflict with the Six Hands is because they're trying to spread into the docks further. They want to set up protection rackets for the docks - charging ship captains a "protection fee" to make sure nothing happens to the ships while they're tied up. The Six Hands oppose them.

Hierarchy

  • Since the death of Deema Blackcoat, no one is sure who runs the Blackcoats any more.
  • Most people figure her two main lieutenants now run things: the female half-orc brawler named Balcmuzg and the contract killer Fenther Dundil.

Assets

  • Unknown

Hangouts

  • Stormcloak Inn: Blackcoats apparently congregate here.
  • Genmura's Stage: Blackcoats frequent this festhall in the Old Temple Lot. It's sleazy, and features lost of oiled up, bare skin, just like they like it. They get a little rowdy sometimes, but they also provide security for the place - it's their place to get crazy in, and the gods help anyone who forgets that.
  • Old Temple Lot Warehouse: Next door to Genmura's is another of their hangouts - an old warehouse that lots of the gang kip down in. They hang out in it as well, getting high and drunk, and practicing their fighting skills in impromptu fistfights there.
