The Ratfolk

Duncan clicked the reins of his wagon away from the guildhall, frustrated by the operations management. Those damn rats drive their bargains hard, but fair for the most part. He understood what it was like to fight for what you had, better than most and didn't begrudge them too hard for it.

Common Etiquette rules

Often wanderers and vagabonds on the various caravan circuits or in the slums of major cities, few treat them well, shunning them at best and killing them far more often. Those that make it to adulthood trust those outside their circle rarely, though it was been told that their customs demand they share food with those that are homeless and hated such as they.

Art & Architecture

Often breaking into abandoned ruins or old tunnel systems, they build large warrens out of what materials they can, rarely being constructed in any one style or manner. Supposedly there is an Imperial Warren beneath the lower levels of Aspyre, built by and maintained for the use of the Ratfolk in exchange for their service in the Alchemists Guild in the Imperial City.

Common Taboos

There is one universal taboo among the rat-folk. They cannot ever consume rats, or they will go mad and become monstrous cannibals. seeking out their own warren and feeding until they are slain.
