We urge anyone seeking to attend to take precautions, and assume someone is always listening.We do not take any responsibility for what consequence may befall you should you not heed our warning.
Next Market August 9th @ 8pm EST ; Mateus, Haukke Manor Patio

Many few decided that I was merely joking about concealing your identities.. and thus, I deeply regret to inform you, dear reader, the removal of several of our visitors.

My Dear Lurcher,I begin this letter by sincerely apologizing for becoming so scarce; it was not my intentions to neglect your attendance and adoration. Regardless, it is something I hold responsibility for doing and it is of utmost importance that I make it up to you. I would request you to join me Monday, February 9, 2026 7:00 PM, within Spirithold. Fear not, my colleagues and I will assure wards in place to placate the imps in the area. Should you get a twinge of violence in your fingertips, I do not believe anyone would miss them, and it would delight me to see you work so. Go on, scratch the itch.In better light, since our last connection I am pleased that you have remained on your best behavior. Nary a peep of you. Isn't that exciting? Let us strive to keep it that way. If you forget, you may find attached the dress code as well as our location for the eve. As always, I would hope you keep this secret between us. I look forward to seeing you again.— Signed

My Dear Lurcher,You may notice something different, this eve. Your letter came not only with good wishes and request for your presence yet again .. but instead, it came with a gift.

Consider it a late Valentoine's, and a thank you for entertaining me so.I am sure you are wondering by now who I am, dear reader, and while I would delight in telling you outright I have something else I'd delight in more. A game. Do you care to play? Set before you is a board— metaphorically, of course, there is no such item in the delivery box— and pieces are set. You, my dearest, have the first move, and should you manage your pieces into my side a claim the throne I would arrange a meeting with you. And only you, whoever has me now pinched between thumb and forefinger. So .. consider this not only a game, but a race. You will find a clue within your wine, so drink up and drink well.As always, this moon I invite you out, you will find your fellow dabblers within the entrance to Haukke. I will see you the ninth sun of the fourth moon, at 8 bells.— Signed,

Fare thee well, and I look forward to our soon rendezvous.— Signed,

The Dead Hound
There's gossip among the vampires that reside in Eulmore, talk of a kindred who has dabbled in necromancy and resurrected her very own servant. An undead hound that goes around doing dirty work, selling, fighting you name it and at the end of the day he brings her back every coin made.
⟡
Mistletoe
If one's hatred betrays their better judgement, they need only look towards the 'snakes in their garden'. Eventually, they'll be found by a red eyed wraith who will grant them one wish. Just say the name.
Hah! Predictable choice. Here's what I know.

⟡
Devil's Ivy
A lurker in the Warren has toted along wares this time, so it appears. Plenty of, ahem, enlightening substances made fresh and with love! There's also been sightings of interesting seedkin being pampered... readying for adoption?
⟡
The King in Yellow
If you want something that doesn't belong to you, you could go find whatever cutpurse or thug will hear you out at Fisherman's Bottom or Pearl Lane. And if you do, they'll tell you the same thing: 'We don't go in against the King.' The King in Yellow and their unknown associates have been quietly making a name for themselves as thieves of the highest caliber, and making it clear that those who try to out-steal them will come up short. For the right price and the right reason, though, the King will steal for you.
⟡
Garnet Thorn
The Garnet Thorn is reportedly the representative of a larger criminal organization active in a wide swath of illicit goods and services. Her job is to peddle the wares and expand the goals of the people she serves. Though she always has drugs on hand, almost anything else can be provided for the right price.
⟡
Duskwool Prince
The soft spoken Prince seems a new arrival in the land or these circles at the very least. Speaking with a clipped Dalmascan accent, he offers a selection of alchemical solutions. From poisons, to stimulants, to interrogation drugs. The Prince only asks that you weigh his palm in gil for you to select from the bounty of his court.
⟡
Rabbit
A Woman in a Rabbit's Mask. Dressed in Pink. A Huntress of Huntress's and a Ruin Diver Supreme. Often with her the Vaunted Stall of the Red Dragon. She calls herself Rabbit. You might be surprised at what she can offer you, for the right price.
Not every day you hear a poor soul admitting they need help.

The White Queen
Rumor has it, the woman in white knows or can find out anything you need, and if not, she knows someone who knows someone... Ask her or one of her assistants to spill the tea.
⟡
Waxing Gibbous
Whispers circulate of a woman who lauds performance as her raison d'être and has a knack for luring the unsuspecting into divulging their secrets. Perhaps you find yourself in need of information, a stand in, an ear on the ground--or perhaps she may take an interest in you.
...Specific, you say? Challenging my eyes and ears aren't you?

XXI — Twenty One
There are whispers in the shadows, of a strange, off-kilter creature of mysterious origin, known simply as Twenty One. Through methods they refuse to share, they're able to provide a most interesting service - with the proper resources offered in sacrifice, a reward of equal value may be exchanged. Be it blood, life, favors, or mere everyday items, every deal struck is a deal struck fairly. Of that, there is no denying their results.

...This is what it must be like for the Scions to speak to the Warrior of Light.

Notoriety
this is where notoriety will be tracked. notoriety is a system where the Admirer tracks the Lurchers. It is best to be careful of what information you give away, you just might find yourself here.
⟡
How does it work?
Your notoriety tracker will naturally increase if you have attended
6 events — bar one
12 events — bar two
18 events — bar three
You can also increase your notoriety by standing out.
• LFRPs & pop-ups regarding Lurcher's Warren
• Attending storyline events
• Discussing character information while at an event. Names, locations, friends, aliases, etc.
• Not wearing a mask. We warned you.
• If your character has a pre-existing bounty or extensive criminal history.
How do I get placed?
Once the Admirer deems your presence interesting, you will receive a blank portrait (with the option to customize the higher your bar becomes, but in the initial stage it will just be basic outline).Your placement will come with any known information. This can include things your character has said at events, to others, or any 'common' hooks on their carrds/RPhubs. Including frequent places, well-known pasts, etc. Don't worry, we'll ask first.
⟡
How do I reduce or stop my bar?
We highly suggest laying low. Frequently changing outfits, aliases and keeping out of trouble while at our events is essential to keeping a low profile. After all, we would hate to lose one of our dear Lurchers. If we happen to not see you for some time, this also could lower your notoriety.
⟡
My bar is full, what now?
We would hope this doesn't happen! The Wailers and other law enforcement adore sticking their noses in places they don't belong. Our reach can only protect you so far, so be prepared to reap what you sow. (DM'd mini-event, bar resets)

"Letiche"
⟡
A man seen about the Unlucky Hare, by the way he talks it seems as if he operates the place, but he'll always outright deny it. Folks at the Hare seem afraid of him, but they all stay for one reason or another. If you ask anyone, they'll tell you he's good at making your disappearance look like an accident.
⟡
"Sable"
⟡
A miqo'te never without a mask, slender bodied and nubbed tail. By his movements alone, one can assume he as some degree of sight impairment. He's known for dabbling in what lay within and beyond the lifestream. No doubt talking to a lost lover or relative has its consequences.
⟡
"The King in Yellow"
⟡
A fellow mastermind, no doubt. Often seen with others donned in yellow. The Lalafell procures items hard to get, though prepared to come with information of your own.. for no good thief works blind.
⟡
"The White Queen"
⟡
A familiar presence since the beginning of Lurcher's, you'd be sore for missing her. Someone with her likeness conducts legal business under the name 'Shroudrose' at various other markets, though it's only speculation.
