One of the several criminal gangs that hold sway in the seedy underbelly of Alkenstar, Espara's Paladins is anything but the group of chivalrous knights its name might suggest. Instead, its members include mishandled outcasts, frustrated orphans, unrepentant bullies, and even a few violent human mutants. Most of Espara's Paladins believe themselves to be the products of a corrupt society, and the only way to improve their sordid existences is through calculated violence and guerrilla rebellion, both against rival gangs and Alkenstar's aristocratic elite. The gang's founder and leader is the cunning orphan, Espara (CN female human rogue n ) . Rumors report she is only 19 years old, despite her influence and reach in Alkenstar's criminal circles.
