Leaflets from the Order of the Unbranded - Fleas
The Order of the Unbranded has been designated a terrorist organization. The members, if it can be proven they are in fact members, are outlaws sought by branded and unbranded authorities for crimes against society. That being said, the most prevalent pieces of litter found in any developed community are the leaflets of the Order, known commonly as fleas. (Some pundit in years past said the plague of leaflets was worse than fleas of the rabbit plague) Fleas are small, generally a quarter of a standard letter sized sheet of paper. With current laser printer technology Mastiff Hall can ensure every cell of followers can distribute hundreds of leaflets every night. Of course this has to be done clandestinely as the leaflets have been outlawed as well as the Order. Where possible the leaflets are affixed to utility poles or fences or exterior warehouse walls, but this is riskier due to the time it takes to staple, glue or tack the leaflets into place. More commonly a lone figure will be seen sprinting down a dark thoroughfare tossing handfuls of leaflets before they disappear into the shadows. Often a conspirator will leave a pile of papers under a chair or outside a door where they are bound to be scattered by the unwary. As proving membership in the Order is problematic, leaflet distribution has been a longstanding game of cat and mouse with authorities, as being caught would prove membership.
Purpose
The content of the leaflets varies depending on the current emphasis Mastiff Hall wants to push, but generally follows one of several themes. Communing with animals is evil. Branding humans for companion links, slave ownership, or any other purpose, is a sin. Oppression or rule based on inherited artifacts is untenable. Periodically, clandestine meetings will be hinted at, but dates, locations and times are never advertised. The unspoken but understood primary purpose of Fleas is a constant reminder that the Order of the Unbranded is present and active.
