The Sump Dogs are the lords of the [[Spider Points]], having fought their way up from controlling [[Sumptown]] on the edge of the Nexus to running the roads that link the hives of the [[Palatine Cluster]]. Founded by [[Slate Merdena]] - an outcast of the [[Merdena]] family who clawed his way up from an [[Ash Road]] wrecker to be one of the most feared [[Road Captain|Road Bosses]] this side of the [[Drysea]]{{Fn|2}} - and named in memory of his old hometown [[Sumptown]].{{Fn|4c}} It is said that when [[Morrow Orienus Orlock|Lord Morrow]] himself offered Slate and his Sump Dogs a place in [[Crucible]], the Road Boss refused, choosing instead to stay in the wastes and continue to expand the dominion of his gang. These days the Sump Dogs number in their thousands, with hundreds of gangs working the [[Hive Primus Ash Gates]] and hundreds more controlling outposts as far north as [[Bighole]] and as far south as the [[Dust Wall]].{{Fn|2}}
They are rivals to the [[Genestealer Cult]] gang [[Cult of the Second Son]], who they think is only a clan of mutie ash miners muscling in on their turf, unaware how close the Cult has come to taking dominion over one of the great [[Ash Gates]] of Hive Primus, and the gateway to the heart of the capital it offers.{{Fn|5}}
