The Guts Diver (Background)
These are broken people. Those who delve into the darkest pits of the world and humanity to pry out objects best left forgotten for a profit. No one can enter The Guts and exit unchanged. They often find themselves alienated from the above world, whether as a precondition of taking up this profession or as a consequence of what they have done below. They sell their services on the black market, as the state has classed their trade as 'grave-robbing' with a legally mandated death penalty for any caught with these artifacts. This makes an already volatile profession one in which betrayal, double-crosses, and unscrupulous employers means that even successful divers rarely live to an old age.
City officials claim that the Guts is a primitive rural superstition. Yet still the city's fences are inundated with artifacts from before history. A steady stream of dark objects that risks becoming a flood.
