Kingdom of Rats

The Kingdom of Rats is an influential criminal organisation based in the city of Erradan, and lead by an exiled Izirian Prince by the name of Shazad Al-Fadil, colloquially known as "The Gutter Prince".
The organisation serve as major information brokers in the city, relying on a large force of beggars and thieves who gather this information, and sell it on to interested parties. Many of the elite of Erradan don't even notice the homeless wanderers and urchins who move around the city, and so nobody notices the quiet eavesdroppers.
The Gutter Prince is famously a generous boss to his subjects, offering free food and shelter to those who work for him. Supposedly, he would even rather go hungry than allow his subjects to starve. This graciousness has built up a lot of loyalty among his followers.
The Kingdom of Rats primarily controls the Rat District; a region of the city which was heavily wracked by floods, and the ministry never got around to rebuilding, letting it remain in squalor. Because of this, the district has barely any police presence, but is also mostly uninhabitable.
Due to the lawless nature of the Rat District, many criminal gangs have hideouts, workshops, and safehouses in the area. Shazad willingly rents these out to anybody who can pay, as long as they don't bring too much trouble to the little Kingdom.
