Black Clutch
The Black Clutch Gang is a notorious drug-running gang known for their operations on the crime-ridden streets of Ardenfell, with a significant presence in the city of Rayhaven. This secretive gang has gained notoriety for exclusively utilizing drakes; small, agile, wingless dragonkin, to carry out their illicit activities. The use of these creatures enables them to seamlessly navigate through narrow alleyways and urban environments, evading law enforcement and rival gangs with ease. Their primary focus lies in the production and distribution of a potent narcotic known as Drake's Nectar, which has become a highly sought-after commodity in underground markets.
While they mainly operate in the city of Rayhaven, their influence extends far and wide in various regions across the world. They have forged strategic partnerships with pirates in the treacherous waters of the Shattered Archipelagos, amplifying their reach and impact.
Structure
The gang consists of several groups who specialize in different areas.
There is one leader, NAME who has a DRAKE SPECIES named NAME.
The individuals responsible for producing Drake's Nectar are referred to as Cooks. These Cooks typically do not possess drakes of their own but rely on protection from other members of their gang.
Clutch Runners play a crucial role in the drug distribution process. These runners are responsible for transporting and delivering the drugs after they have been manufactured. They are known for their agile and fast drakes, which allow them to swiftly traverse the city's alleyways. The name "Clutch Runners" is derived from the distinctive packaging of Drake's Nectar in a "clutch" of vials designed for distribution to the dealers. Their role as the logistics team is vital in the overall supply chain, connecting the manufacturers with the end consumers.
In the event of a confrontation between rival gangs, the Reapers are called upon to handle the aftermath. This specialized group employs necrodrakes to effectively dispose of any bodies and even eliminate the bones. While these creatures can be utilized as formidable assets in conflicts and for instilling fear, they typically do not roam openly like enforcers.
Enforcers are the most numerous and influential members in the gang. They are responsible for providing protection to other gang members who are unable to do so themselves, such as the Cooks.

The Black Clutch gang is a relatively recent criminal organization that emerged following the discontinuation of the manufacturing of a substance now referred to as Drake's Nectar.
