Squick & Squack

Inhabitants of Als Alour, capital of men, but most certainly not fellows of race, these Ratfolk live in the sewers and underground cave systems of the city, serving as a few of it’s crime bosses. Controlling an army of ratmen, as well as spies in the form of ordinary rats, Squick & Squack pride themselves on being the kings of the criminal underworld. The actual King of the criminal Underworld allows them to think so, for they keep to themselves and don't cause too much of a stir for his businesses, keeping to their own parts of the tunnels and nooks.
They are known to be not immediately hostile, unless hungry or angry, most of the time willing to trade whatever they or their army find or “find” (“yesh, we za took shinies fom’ cold peoples, but they be cold long befo’ we be dere!”) for any shiny things or good food and drink, something they love more than anything.
While they control large parts of the sewers and caves, their particular place of home is deep underground, at the base of the furthest down sewer pipe, built long ago when the city was still young. There they have over many years built quite the impressive city of wood, salvage and various chunks of metal that spills down from the wasteful city above, known to those knowing as Rat Town.
Squick & Squack rules with, and seriously now, they say this; “one shiny closed hand.” Not an iron fist. A shiny closed hand. You’ve got to hear it, and see it, to really get the full experience, but trust me... it’s really funny.
