Challenge #04364-K346: Repurposed Unwanted

More baskets of unwanted children, of all species, not just the unwanted races. Why do they keep putting them at my cave? We're not going to eat them. Oh well, I guess our army will just have to keep growing. What does my army do? We were founded by masters of the way of shadows. What we do is gently spread the teachings of the first sensei, and keep gathering more baskets. -- Anon Guest

They call the cave The Unwanted Mouth, and the three cities nearby use it as an unfortunate depository. They leave their unwanted children there. In baskets. In swaddling. Some of them sitting on a small bindle of their belongings. Many of the older ones wondering when they were going to be eaten.

Eaten. Ha!

Poor darlings. They soon learn that those who live in the Everdark don't eat people. They call us Dark because we live in the dark. They call us Deep because we live deep down. And they say all the nasty things about us. Including all the accusations you can think up.
