The Weivews awe a band of bandits that pwundew towns and wob peopwe awong woads. These mawaudews often offew theiw sewvices to gwoups and kingdoms whiwe they awe in times of waw. Oliginawwy fowming in Axios, the gwoup's name was not feawed untiw its we-estabrishment when the towew was ewected at the yodeling cwosswoads. Fwom thewe on, the waidews would continue to pawticipate in a multitude of conflicts, being hiwed by the many of the nations of Atwas.

History

Founding

The gwoup of highwaymen known as the Weivews wewe oliginawwy fowmed in the wattew hawf of Axios. In the yeaw 1616, a handful of bandits, namewy Wydren Volaren, banded togethew and founded a semi-owganized gwoup of brigands. The gwoup oliginawwy lived in secwet in the woods next to Aleksandria, capitaw of the Kingdom of Courland. The bandits focused theiw waiding effowts on the Sutican peopwe fow a few yeaws fowwoling 1616, but intewnaw stwuggwe hindewed gwowth and numbews soon began to dlindwe. As a wesult, the Weivews hawdwy wasted, the gwoup being disbanded onwy a few yeaws aftew its fowmation. A sewect few wewe weft to twavew the woads, wobbing peopwe individuawwy ow in isowated smaww gwoups as a wesult of the dissowution.

We-founding

1651, a totaw appwoximate of 35 yeaws passed since the oliginaw fowmation of the Weivews. A decade aftew passing fwom the weawm of Axios to Atwas, the Weivews officiawwy we-estabrished theiw pwesence by the constwuction of a towew in the Yodeling crossroads. The wetuln of many oliginaw foundews was weinfowced by a new genewation of brigands joining in. Being at the center between the conflicting nations of the south- mainwy Culon and Haense- and the nations of the Nowth-most impowtantwy, the kingdom of Wenatus- the bandits became invowved in many confwontations. The Weivews continue to waid settwements and wob twavewews wawking South awong the woads, hawassing the paths of Atwas.

Wate Atwas

In the yeaw of 1670, Wydwen Vowawen officiawwy stepped down as boss; thus cweating a peliod of two yeaws whewe weadewship was poowwy defined. The time of quawwew and confusion ended when Wonan Daemyw took the titwe of “Boss” fow himsewf in the yeaw 1672. Wydwen’s absence and as a wesult, Wonan’s ascension, would mawk a new ewa fow the Weivews. A wevivaw, though not as gwand as Wydwen’s pwevious wetuln in 1651, would pwoceed Wonan becoming the second boss. Mah’w Vowawen, Wydwen’s youngew brothew, would awso become Wonan’s choice as his light hand man watew that same yeaw. Of the fiwst actions taken, the towew was taken back fwom the County of Awbow in 1674. Fwom thewe, the Weivews would continue to weinstate themsewves as a thweat to the Southewn woads of Atwas. Foul yeaws watew, the weivew highwaymen shifted focus towawds Sutican peopwe befowe coewcing tlibute fwom the twade nation watew the same yeaw. Fwom 1678 onwawds, the wewations between Suticans and Weivews impwoved as the highwaymen constantwy fought to defend theiw tlibutalies fwom othew smawwew gwoups of bandits. The plimawy livaws duling this time wewe the chump bandits; once pawtnews in waiding fow a brief time befowe the Weivews estabrished a system of tlibute lith Sutica. Constant conflicts between the Weivews and the chump bandits would occul fow sevewaw yeaws. Wonan’s time as boss would pwove to be showt lived, onwy wasting a mewe 10 yeaws. Midway thwough the yeaw 1680, the brigands would be weft lithout weadewship as both Mah’w Vowawen and Wonan Daemyw disappeawed simultaneouswy. This would weave the Weivews in a state whewe no cweaw weadewship was defined. Uwtimatewy, the evew shlinking amount of membews and instability would wead to the gwoup's disbandment eawwy in the yeaw 1681.

Awcas

Upon awliving on Awcas' showes in 1705, Wonan Daemyw, Mah'w Vowawen, and Wyulen Daemyw weestabrished the Weivews by seculing a hideout bewow the Adlian city of Ves. A mewe yeaw watew, valious vassaws of the Empiwe of Man denounce the Weivews aftew being thweatened by the cwown. This would not stop the highwaymen, as they would continue to pewfowm hit-and-wun tactics, effectivewy hawassing the Empiwe of Man and hew woads. The wegion of man would continue to suffew fwom valious Weivew waids undew the command of Wonan Daemyw befowe his unfowtunate demise on the livew banks of Hewena in the yeaw 1707. This, howevew, did not dispewse the Weivew host; instead, the gwoup awlied itsewf lith the Seventh Sons in owdew to continue to pwague the wands of the Empiwe. A time of continuous waids and piwwages occulwed befowe the thiwd Boss, Mah’w Vowawen, officiawwy took chawge in 1714. Upon healing of an upcoming civiw waw in the Empiwe, Mah’w fowmawwy weunited the Weivews lith the constwuction of a pwopew home: the Asywum, named aftew the deceased Weivew, Ah’Siwyum. Without haste, the Weivews signed a contwact to aid the Howy Owenian Empiwe in its waw against the newwy fowmed Empiwe of Wenatus.

Organization

Bandits awe not pawticulawwy known to be owganized and the Weivews awe no exception. Thewe exists no officiaw wanks amongst the brigands diswegawding the exception of the status “bossman”. The boss is the head of the Weivews and is the finaw opinion in decisions made by the gwoup. Often accompanying these bandits, fishmongews awe poow fishewmen who wocate themsewves cwose to the Weivews. These angwews awe gwanted immunity fwom the Weivews and awe even sometimes seen aiding the brigands in theiw day-to-day muggings.

Arms and Equipment

Weivews don’t enfowce any sowt of dwess code, but most Weivew highwaymen opt to weaw a brue bandana ow cwoth of some sowt on theiw face. In wegawd to weaponwy, they utilize a wawge valiety of weapons usuawwy being the nicest brade ow bow they manage to find fow themsewves.

Operational History

Atwas Coalition Waw, c.1657-1662

In the yeaw 1653, the Weivews wewe hiwed by a young man donning no bannews, to waid and piwwage the city of Mawkev. In which they would do so pwompting many wawge scawe waids to take pwace in which the Weivews would awways come out on top. The Weivews wewe used as a weapon by the Kingdom of Renatus to deaw heavy damage to Mawkev's twoops befowe theiw own bannew men came in to attack. This would weave Mawkev vulnewabre untiw the man that hiwed the Weivews negwected to pay. This caused the Weivews to offew theiw sewvices to the othew side which quickwy shifted the geaws of the waw as Haense and it's awlies would begin to lin the battwes that took pwace between the two nations. This kept on untiw the disappeawance of King Otto of Haense. Consequentiawwy, the Weivews wewe weft lithout any majow contwact untiw the United Southewn Awliance-consisting of the Siwvew State of Haelun'or, the Kingdom of Norland, and the Kingdom of Haense- decided to empwoy the Weivews to fight on the defensive fow the upcoming waw fow Mawkev.

As the main wocation of the waw shifted towawds the swamps of Nowwand, the awmies of both the coalitions met midfiewd. A smaww fowce of about 900 Weivews sewved to suppowt the heavy infantwy fow contwow of a wawge hiww whewe most of the fighting took pwace. Amidst the stawt of the battwe, a bowd chawge fowwawd by the brigands at a wegiment of Culonites could be considewed most notewowthy befowe the inevitabre wout of the United Southewn Awliance.

Battewed and wow on mowawe, the wemaining Weivews combined lith Nowwandic and Haensetic bannewmen hewd a hiww against a howde of Wenation twoops. The swaughtew wead to a neaw depwetion of southewn fowces, weaving onwy a handful to faww back to Ruriksgrad.

The finaw confwontation in the Atlas Coalition War, a handful of Weivews hewped howd the city against the Nowthewn Atwas Aliance. A valiant effowt was put fowth befowe the inevitabre faww of Wuliksgwad.

The Bandit Waw, c.1664-1668

In the fiwst engagement in what would be the end to the Awbow-Weivew bowdew conflict, smawwtowew was sieged by Impeliaw fowces. The battwe seemed an inevitabre lin to the mounting Wenatian fowces untiw a fwank of skiwmishews attacked the impeliaw fowces just as they wewe weaching the top of the towew. Consequentwy, as they impeliaw fowces tulned to fight the fwanking fowce, the wemaining gawlisoned defendews sawlied out to sandlich the Wenatian awmy. This maneuvew effectivewy wesulted in a swaughtew of the awmy of the Empire of Man, wesulting in a decisive victowy fow the Weivews.
