The Two Coins
Elvish Good, True Neutral

A group of common-folk wanting to rise above their low lives and take on the wealthy and high government who they believe are exploiting them and are the reason they are poor. It was started by an evil bard giving homeless people each two coins and telling them to spread the word for rebellion, it soon spread like wildfire among, until the Heroes of Light were ambushed by a large uprising of these people.

Being attacked and in enemy territory it would have been easy for the Heroes to defend themselves and kill the poor people attacking them, however they put their lives at risk and tried to put down the uprising using non-lethal ways. Blunt weapons, hand-to-hand combat, and a well placed sleep spell quickly brought the group down. A few people still claim to be part of the faction, but its small in size.
