Now that the Docks are starting to move, there is an incredible amount of untapped potential waiting for PCs to take advantage of. The Laddermen are part gang, part merchant company and part fraternal order with a great number of ongoing plots and opportunities going on right now -- if you think all the Laddermen do is sell merchandise and fight fires, guess again! The Docks are a new, vibrant region ready to be shaped, and a Ladderman PC is in an excellent position to do so.
If you have interest in the faction, feel free to PM me or log into #Laddermen on IRC.
Alignment: Somewhat Neutral, slightly Evil, but more Chaotic than anything. There is a lot of leeway, as anyone interested in getting wealthy making the Docks wealthy is welcome. Any alignment can fit, with the most common being CN.
Race: Any non-monstrous.
Class: Any. The Laddermen have a special need for rogues and tanks at the moment, but every class has a role to play in the faction.
If you are interested in playing ...

... a minion, or any number of other concepts, consider joining the Laddermen!
lol.
Rofl. Seriously though, I've had a lot of fun with the Laddermen. It's great to have another group active that isn't just The Sons.
Viordai the Bullet Dodger and Bullet Tooth Querain are fine PCs running this equally fine faction.
Full recommendations.
And Annabelle 'The Mouth' Maria handling technicals and sneak attacks.
Also, pishposh on that alignment nonsense! Annie is CG and fits in perfectly.
Bullet-tooth Querain? I can only hope Querain ever becomes this much of a badass. >.>

One day in the faction and already I'm involved in crazy stuff, fighting off (spoiler)...
The Laddermen, join us.
Oh, and yeah, any alignment works. Vladimir is a CG Tempusian. Any (non-monstrous) race, class (hrm... they said we lean slightly toward evil, -might- be some evil folks in the faction, paladins may have difficulty), and alignment (not sure why lawful evil would join the docks, but I suppose there's probably some concept out there that would join us) works, really.
Bumping this to say that this faction has been cool and is definitely open to characters with various goals as it's quite loose in definition, as Oligarch says. I'm playing a neutral Waukeenar wilds PC/merchant who's trying to form trade contacts with most other factions and literally wandered into the Laddermen on my first day as they were the first merchant group he contacted.
