The Magpies

London's premier procurement network—a loose confederation of fences, smugglers, and dealers who can source anything for anyone willing to pay. They identify each other by the black-and-white feather symbol, honour each other's deals, and maintain strict neutrality between factions. The Magpies sell to gang lords and magistrates alike, and those who know the right questions can access their occult trade: spirit-touched artefacts, bottled essences, ritual components smuggled from the Continent.
