The Children of Bahgri

The Children of Bahgri are one of the many gangs that populate the Warrens found within the Midden, this gang rose to prominence in the years following the First Coalition War. Even though a ceasefire was negotiated between the Draconic Empire and the Eastern Alliance, both sides were aware that war still loomed over the horizon. In order to prepare for this eventuality, the new imperial war marshal, Reindolf Stahl introduced a set of military reforms which allowed non-citizens to earn their citizenship through military service. The Stahl reforms led to an influx of non-citizens into the imperial capital; these included greenskin tribes, elven caravans and tiefling refugees.

While the Stahl reforms were meant to bolster the Imperial Army's numbers, there was still a clear animosity between many imperials and these migrants. Those who were turned away from the army for one reason or another found themselves with nowhere else to go and in response to increasing levels of unrest, the empire set up an alienage within the Midden's Warrens which serves as the home for many of these migrants. The alienage would also serve as a home for many refugees who sought to escape the looming conflict within the Pyrean Midlands.

This situation would lead to the birth of the Children of Bahgri, established by the half-orc, Umak the Pale who created a code of honour based on the teachings of one of the forgotten greenskin gods, Bahgri, the Warbrother. This code defines a role for every member, and establishes the importance of fulfilling one's duty. Loyalty and brotherhood are valued above all else, and the children are very much secretive, maintaining a tight grip within the alienage and possessing a deep distrust for outsiders.

What began as a philosophical ideology would soon evolve to become a fully fledged organization, as the Children of Bahgri would oust any competition within the alienage, and through the induction of all refugees in to their philosophy now control a sizeable chunk of territory within the Warrens which includes a part of the Midden Docks. Their influence within the docks means that the children are able to use imports along the Danabach to smuggle contraband, a practice which is made easier because many of the dock workers are now refugees who were unable to find alternate employment. Their main focus is the smuggling and production of drugs, specifically Powdered Silverleaf which acts as a performance enhancer and is a potent hallucinogenic in higher doses. It is believed that many of its members are addicted to Powdered Silverleaf, and the drug has spread beyond the confines of the alienage, reaching as far as the Mosaic Ward across the Danabach.

## Organization

### Notable Members

As of 1953 AoD, the Children of Bahgri are under the leadership of Umak the Pale, a half-orc from Sepoln's Bluff who many claim suffers from a physical disability which rendered him unfit to serve in the army. He is described as a taciturn individual who is devoted to the code and the protection of his own. This uncharacteristic care for the other children has inspired a great deal of loyalty and devotion from his brethren which is a core concept of the organization as a whole.

His second in command is the female tiefling, Neren Redmane who handles many of the organization's day to day dealings and ensures that the code is adhered to by all members. She is described as a ruthless individual who is unfalteringly loyal to Umak with many believing that her feelings for him may extend beyond their professional relationship.
