The Unnatural Assembly is the collective term for all thirty-six mime-lords and mime-queens in London's clairvoyant syndicate.

Description[]

Each member is part of a Cohort, with London having six Cohorts. Within each Cohort are six sections, or territories. Each section is led by a mime-lord or mime-queen, who then answer to the Underlord or Underqueen. An example would be Jaxon Hall, who is the mime-lord of I-4. The Unnatural Assembly claims to govern the syndicate, but the mime-lords and mime-queens all do as they please in their own sections.

Known gangs in London are the Seven Seals (I-4), the Underbodies (I-1), the Crowbars, the Threadbare Company (I-5), the Nightingales (I-2), and the Rag Dolls (II-4).

Any member of the syndicate is entitled to send a summons to the Underlord or Underqueen so they can call the Assembly. The Heathen Philosopher describes the Assembly as “an administrative body that facilitates the felonious activity of worthy clairvoyants.”[1]

On November 1, 2059, the fourth scrimmage to pick the next ruler of the syndicate occurred. Paige Mahoney won the title of Underqueen and reformatted the Unnatural Assembly as the Mime Order.[2]
