Publisher's blurb:
The Wretched Exodus dwell where the civilised fear to step. They are renowned for cutting throats and purses with equal measure of ease, untroubled by the laws and writs which bind society in the Known World. The inception of their existence came to pass when a handful of well-connected criminals were banished from the City of Erun in Duntav. This collective prospered away from civilisation, as they found that operating underground (geographically and metaphorically) was the best way to conduct their enterprise. The notion of criminal freedom flourished, along with their numbers. Many ineffectual attempts were made by lawbringers of the Grand Pariun to “eradicate the wretched.” It is this order from which the Wretched Exodus take their name. Not only do they continue to survive, they are rising to rival many political and commercial entities. They are also leaving their subterranean abodes in droves, keen to see what civilisation has for them to acquire.
