Aethosphere Chronicles: The Rat Warrens - Plot & Excerpts
The news of a man caught scamming the system burned through the darkness of the Pinprick Slum as intensely as any lightbringer’s candle, and grew to a Rat Warren-wide event, even attracting denizens as far off as Gutterway, Slag Town, and URP. It’d all started when the local rat lord, a gangster-boss by the name of Trevor Trask, caught wind of some schlub hawking Iron notes for tokens directly with the locals, and thus completely bypassing his Bartermen’s Exchange. A practice specifically forbidden. The economics of it were totally lost on Fen, making no sense as to why anyone from the slums would trade out their tokens for notes. Not with a three-to-one rate favoring the tokens, and no market in the Pinprick for notes anyway. In light of that, working with a scamp just seemed like throwing your hard-won money away out of spite…or stupidity. However, what did make sense was this scamp skimming profit at the rat lord’s expense. So it was really of no surprise at all when Boss Trask sent his dangermen and bruisers out in force to scour the Pinprick in search of the fool.
