Black and Golds



They are little more than pirates, but that little includes a willingness to organise in defence of their home- and that makes them better than anyone else in this city.

The Black and Golds have a strict, gang-like hierarchy which organises the hundreds of ships, docks, bridges and warehouses on the Valta Islands. Joining is easy, leaving is hard. The vast majority of Black and Golds tattoo their achievements wherever they are likely to be seen, and to be called 'pale' or 'blank' carries a deeper current of suspicion and resentment. For all that is vicious and brutal about them, the Black and Golds have a strong familial bond with other members and a great deal of civic pride.
