An anti-establishment group created by :ref:`renard-wing` to overthrow the :ref:`masked-lords-of-waterdeep`.
They want to install a new system of government.

:ref:`renard-wing` bound the :ref:`worm-bois` to the Material Plane to help him with his plans.
It's not clear how much other members actually know about them.
:ref:`aryn` told us some members could direct them but :ref:`renard-wing` was in charge of them.

According to :ref:`bertram` they know some of the identities of the :ref:`masked-lords-of-waterdeep`.

Members sometimes meet in the :ref:`night-and-shadow`.

They refer to the :ref:`worm-bois` as ``The Bringers of Changes``.

They are split into 8 sects, with at least one having 40 members.
:ref:`fargas-thorngage` is a leader of one sect.
Only :ref:`renard-wing` speaks to people in different sects.

Symbol
------
Members wear pendants with the groups symbol on.
