Urchin Nest

Urchin Nest
Street slang for a gang or sleeping place for homeless children in Silvermoon City. These places are mostly situated in the Row, or the Ruins of Silvermoon, though throughout the city there are a couple more, until the Blood Knights or neighbouring residents clean it out.

Many Nests are in abandoned buildings, sewers, basements and the like, and have their own security, in form of urchins keeping watch, or home-made traps.

The security precautions are to prevent other rival gangs or Nests, to try and take over the place.

An Urchin Nest usually has a teenager leading it, and demanding tribute from the kids using the place to live. Power in a Nest resides mostly at the leader, and some of his followers or bodyguards. These are commonly teenage males, but female cases exist as well.

The living conditions in a Nest are very poor, among the poorest possible on Azeroth. Rooms, blankets and privacy are a privilege, as is food and water. The appeal to live there lies in safety against others and Blood Knights, though a Nest can hardly be called safe. Stealing or even abuse are common in some Nests, and the policies for them change whenever the leadership changes.

Urchin Nests are considered illegal by the government of Silvermoon, and their existence in the City is denied. Nests not situated in the Row are cleaned out whenever found, and the inhabitants thrown out of the city, or forced back into the Row.
