The Chainbreakers are a defiant gang of prisoners scattered across Havenholme ’s labor camps, united by a burning hatred for the Daystone royal family and a desperate dream of escape. Formed in the shadows of the island’s mines and fields, they’re a mix of hardened criminals and wronged souls who see their confinement as a temporary setback rather than a life sentence. Their name is a whispered rallying cry among the oppressed, though their bold talk of freedom is tempered by the reality of Havenholme ’s cliffs and watchful guards. They clash often with the sallow hands, a rival gang they accuse of snitching to the guards for scraps of favor.
The Chainbreakers survive and scheme within Havenholme ’s rigid system, always probing for a way out.
Their biggest move was a failed breakout from the Orange Camp, thwarted when the sallow hands tipped off the Insurrectionists, earning them a blood feud that still simmers.
