Bloodstone gang

The Bloodstone gang is a gang of brutes and fighters who operate as pit-fighters, mercenaries and bandits, and are led by the notorious Rawshax. They thrive in the slums and the outskirts of the towns of Loveday, extorting and terrorizing the locals. The ideology of the Bloodstones can be summed up like this: "If it can be taken instead of earned, well take it".

The gang was founded by the former dwarven pit fighter Rawshax who was known as Bloodstone in his fighting days. As soon as he earned his freedom he broke into the cells where the other fighters were being held and released those he found worthy. The "weak" as he called them were left in their cells whilst the rest of the fighters killed their masters. After this was done, one would maybe assume that he would lead them into the night to escape, but not Rawshax. Instead he chose to have the other fighters bow down before him and swear their fealty to him as their new master. The next day the pits were open once more, but inside everything had changed. Rawshax has a no tolerance policy for weakness and anyone he believes to be unworthy is either killed, or sent into the pits to fight and earn their keep, although this is often also a death sentence.

Not known for their elaborate schemes, the members usually take the easiest, quickest route to reach their goal. The members are largely expendable and usually have no close connections to each other, as most members follow Rawshax out of either fear or greed the only members with any real loyalty are the officers personally assigned by Rawshax himself, and most of them will only follow orders as long as the money and/or blood keeps flowing. The bloodstone gang have an uneasy truce with the Inkblots and the Halfsail crew, the other two ruling gangs in the criminal underworld of loveday.
