Kanae found a bunch of First Nation gangbangers downtain in Seattle.  The Amerind hoodlums were more than happy to help out a sister...so to speak.  A few of them had had run-ins with the Sons of Sauron.  Bunch of posers, they told her (though gangs said that about pretty much anyone they didn't take seriously).  They were light on firepower, short on men, but long on aggression - they were very expansionist in their outlook, having carved niches out of both the Redmond Barrens, Everett, and Snohomish within the six months that they had been operating openly.  Most of the Sons were humans who dug the whole Lord of the Rings shtick.  There were three 'chapters,' so to speak - the one in the Redmond Barrens was the 'Orthanc' chapter.  Thankfully, the weren't the ones to watch out for - the dreaded ones of the Sons, the 'Nazgul,' were in Snohomish.
