Dredjen
No one is entirely sure of the origins of the Dredjen, except that they are a uniquely Krav phenomenon. In the Dominion, where the facade of democracy and choice is thoroughly manipulated at the highest levels, it is no surprise that organized crime would find fertile ground to operate under such a kleptocratic regime. The first recorded mention of the Dredjen is in a police report from the mountain town of Banja Manastri near Kosava Polje, dated 3745 Gothan Epochs RH. Since then, the group has been uniformly reviled in polite Krav society and almost equally praised by the Sejak. Outside the Dominion, the Dredjen are notorious and viewed with a mix of fascination and fear.
Ranks
There is a hierarchy within the Dredjen. A man begins as an urasti (a mere thief). If successful, he may be promoted to pistolje (pistol), then to silom (enforcer). A select few rise to the rank of duznosti (lieutenant). The highest rank within any clan is imati (boss). Although several men have attempted it, no imati has ever succeeded in uniting all the clans under a single leadership to become the kral od urasti (king of thieves).
Kuca - Clans
There are seven major kuca (clans) within the Dredjen. These clans are in a constant state of undeclared war with one another, although open conflict is rarely carried out unless an Imati declares an osvetta (feud) against another clan.
