Salvage Guild

A barely legal organisation operating in The Puddles. They are known to commit small scale thefts as well as legitimate salvage operations. Currently have protection from the law due to their association with the Muckrackers, but only when operating within The Puddles.
The Guild attracts many young wanna be adventurers from the Puddles (and other poor areas of Absalom). There are still many sunken and ruined buildings in the Puddles for salvaging, so honest work is still to be found. Then again, the least dangerous targets have already been emptied, so it can be far more profitable to "salvage" from homes/stores that may currently be occupied. 
The Salvage Guild is permitted to operate within the Puddles, as well as a short distance into the water, so long as they are not infringing on the Docks shipping lanes. This give the extra opportunity to salvage any recent shipwrecks. It is rumoured that certain ambitious recruits have run salvaging missions into the Precipice Quarter, but this is entirely outside the their jurisdiction and is therefore illegal.

Structure

There is little to no leadership or structure to the Guild. A number of senior members (who are also captains in the Muckrakers) punish any members who commit salvage operations that effected the Guild negatively. This could be because they are friends of the Guild or the Muckrakers, or it could cause negative political actions against them from outside the Puddles.
