Ras-les-rats

"It would seem "unkempt" refugees from the border have pushed their way in the Bas-Fonds. Scruffy customers. Do you grasp my meaning?"
"I do, strongly so. My trimming hand could do with the practice."
Young nobles preparing an excursion to cut off ears and noses of innocents.

A form of hazing practiced by noble or well-off youth in the Eastern Realms. It is a shortened Languedil expression for "raser les rats" which literally translates to "shaving the rats". It mainly consists in injuring the destitute in any number of ways but can also involve degrading property, breaking doors, amateurishly shaving hairs, all to make the victims feel unwelcomed. The brutality of the practice depends on the whimsy of the participants.
