Reivers

History

Founding

The group of highwaymen known as the Reivers was originally formed in the latter half of Axios. In the year 1616, a handful of bandits, namely Wydren Volaren, banded together and founded a semi-organized group of brigands. The group originally lived in secret in the woods next to Aleksandria, capital of Courland. The bandits focused their raiding efforts on the Sutican people for a few years following 1616. The Reivers hardly lasted, the group being disbanded only a few years after its formation.

Current History

1651, a total approximate of 35 years passed since the original formation of the Reivers. A decade after passing from the realm of Axios to Atlas, the Reivers officially re-established their presence by the construction of a tower in the Yodeling crossroads. The return of many original founders was reinforced by a new generation of brigands joining in. Being at the center between the conflicting nations of the south- mainly Curon and Haense- and the nations of the North-most importantly, the kingdom of Renatus- the bandits became involved in many confrontations. The Reivers continue to raid settlements and bandit people traveling South along these roads.

Organization

Bandits are not particularly known to be organized and the Reivers are no exception. There exists no ranks amongst the brigands disregarding the exception of the status “bossman”. The bossman is the head of the Reivers and is the final opinion in decisions made by the group.

Arms and Equipment

Reivers don’t enforce any sort of dress code, but most Reiver highwaymen opt to wear a blue bandana or cloth of some sort on their face. In regard to weaponry, they utilize a large variety of weapons usually being the nicest blade or bow they manage to find for themselves.
