The Cloven Hoof Society is an organisation that helps cambions1 throughout the city of Kintargo, the nation of Ravounel, and lands beyond. Its headquarters are located in the slums of the city's Redroof neighborhood.23

History

Under Chelaxian rule

Due to its comparative lack of interference from House Thrune, Kintargo had long been more tolerant of cambions than the rest of Cheliax, though they were still unfairly regarded as potential criminals. This was however still much better treatment than cambions could expect elsewhere, so they historically flocked to the city. Despite this comparative acceptance, most still lived in the slums of Devil's Nursery and performed grueling tasks of unskilled labour.2

The Cloven Hoof Society was founded to help these cambions as they first arrived in the city, but later expanded to provide more general support for the cambion community. This violently ended during the Night of Ashes, when the Society's leader Strea Vestori went missing and the Society itself collapsed. Its headquarters were boarded up as of 4715 AR, and those it formerly served desperately sought the help it once provided elsewhere.2

Under the rule of Ravounel

Kintargo and Ravounel won their independence from Cheliax in the Kintargan Rebellion of 4715–4716 AR.4 The Society was revived in its Redroof headquarters,3 and Vestori was safely restored to the Society's leadership, where she remained as of 4724 AR and continued to assist the Silver Ravens through mostly illicit means.5

The Society's mission has also expanded to help hellspawn refugees from Cheliax transition to new lives in Ravounel, which as of 4724 AR had become a more welcoming home to them.3
