The Sons of the Imperial Dragon are a Renegade gang based out of Atlanta; they are, essentially, the local equivalent to the Ku Klux Klan. They are opposed to the (skinlands) emancipation of the slaves, and espouse a philosophy of racial superiority. Their usual modus operandi is to capture wraiths, bind them in manacles and drag them down the streets of Atlanta while they shout their epithets of racial superiority.
