Yes, this shop has an overlaying metaplot. You didn't think it was RP intensive for no reason at all? The general information about the current goings on can be located in this thread. It will be updated as events come to pass. Basically this shall be a good summary of the history of the shop, so if you feel a little lost or overwhelmed glance here before panicking. And if you still feel lost check out linked Meta RPs for more details, and if you still don't know either you're not supposed to or you can PM the mule and find out.

It was centuries ago that man first came to the continent they came to dub Iranis. So long ago that few even remember that they once dwelled in a world beyond the rolling expanse of sea. Their great city was established out of site of the great and unconquerable ocean, and their kings have held dominion over the lands inhabitants ever since, or so they like to pretend.
Nanimnai is their capital city, massive and glorious with an underbelly darker and slicker than any mudcrawling serpent. Crime lords flourish here just as readily as the nobility does...and perhaps the two aspects are more easily interchangeable than some like to pretend. A new thieflord, or one who claims the title, is currently on the rise...
The 'feral' tribes now reside deeper and deeper within the forests, swamps, and mountains of their homes. Poachers or hunters (or slavers if you desire another point of view) are getting bolder in their pursuit of new 'pets' to trade for profit. Though the adults are unsuited for anything but the Colosseum, sometimes the younger can still be 'tamed' enough to draw those with deeper pockets. Of course, the leaders of these tribes do not take such things lightly, and retaliations have been getting a little out of hand here and there along the edges of the woodlands.
And now, on top of everything else, a strange and mysterious problem has occurred. Gates unbarred beneath the noses of sentries, keys stolen through locked doors, pet stock led astray, magical potions tampered with, and all manner of annoyances ranging from petty to downright treasonous. Somehow or another the names 'Joker' and 'Trickster' have begun to be associated with this figure, ranging back to the roots of the 'taurs and their tales of idle spirits that have been around for as long as the land has, or perhaps longer. General consensus has grown to say that this Trickster is an enemy to the humans who have trespassed upon his lands, but some of the freeborn 'taurs doubt the truth of this and the feral tribes...well. IF they know what's what, they've not shared a word of it.
