=== Political Marginalization ===
The Laced are not persecuted, but they are politically marginalized [1]. They have no representation in the debate halls of the cavern cities [1]. Their testimony is considered unreliable in formal proceedings [1]. Laced traders are permitted in underground markets, but Laced children who are brought underground and decontaminated are sometimes refused return to the surface by cavern authorities who consider the exposure a form of child endangerment [1].
