D100 Miscreants, untouchables, and paupers

 This is part 1a of "Sphere of the Indefatigable Adjudicator" AKA the Ready Ref Rewrite

Social class 0 - Untouchables

These are the poorest of the poor, people who's jobs are so filthy, disgusting, and dangerous that their children are tainted and it's considered polluting to look at them.

The Dawnbringer, that ancient folk hero of legend who will one day return and reignite the sun, was the champion of these people. They are considered sacred to him and many sects of the New Dawn still take vows of voluntary poverty and perform filthy, degrading practices in honor of him and to bring themselves closer to enlightenment.

Despite this the taboo associated with these livelihoods still lingers and few Sects of the New Dawn still uphold this custom.

Untouchables, or Miscreants if you prefer, have no social clout, and cannot vote. It's considered polluting to associate with them, but karmically cleansing to give them aid. They often collect together in the poorest parts of the city, though they can be found everywhere, performing jobs without which civilization could not function.

Miscreants are lucky to earn a couple copper groats a day. They live in sewers, abandoned buildings, huts constructed along drainage ditches, and keep warm during the brutal winter by huddling around steam outlet pipes and dung compost piles.

Some miscreants, like cremators, are able to earn a considerable wage by charging obscene fees because no one else is willing to perform their task.
