Bandit Kingdoms

Meta-Campaign
Guidebook
Version 1.2 November 2003
 Preface
Welcome to the Combination of Free
Lords! We here on the campaign staff welcome
you to our region. Inside is a complete overview
of all the current meta-campaign alternatives
offered in our region. Please note that this is an
interim document, which will be revised once
again with the appearance of new 3.5 rules. We
felt it important, though, that the players of our
region have access to our meta-orgs during this
period of change. Special attention has been
allotted to the history and role-playing angles of
our meta-orgs, as these aspects will not change,
regardless of the rules.
In the past, it has been the practice that
metaorganization business only be done during
interactives. This has recently changed. It is
now possible to join and upgrade membership by
contact with individual metaorg coordinators.
Most of our metaorgs require that the PC live in
the Bandit Kingdoms, but some allow for
movement after joining. We feel that this is a
service to the player that does not have the
ability to travel or do not regularly play in the
convention environment. Since the BK region
ii
geographically covers such a huge area of land,
this makes a lot of sense. Note, however, that
you will have to be able to display required
documentation to the metaorg coordinator at his
or her request. Such documentation may be a
photocopy of your last AR and current character
sheet. Details will be hammered out between
you, the player, and your metaorg coordinator.
We hope that you enjoy this document.
We understand that not all PC classes are
represented in this document, but that is just an
artifact of our region. The Combination of Free
Lords is dominated by Iuz, and He is very picky
about what groups of people are running free
about the countryside. Arcane spellcasters are
hunted down and killed, as are clerics of any
diety other than the Old One. Bards are
slaughtered if their songs do not give glory to
Old Wicked, and monks are virtually non-
existent. If and when Iuz is booted from the
Bandit Kingdoms, this may change. But, until
that day arrives, we must live under His
oppressive rule.

 Document Overview
The Bandit Kingdoms Campaign Sourcebook is
designed to aid players with two tasks – understanding
the LG rules as they are interpreted in the region and
developing the organizations that are a window into the
machinations beneath the Bandit Kingdoms. This
document is intended to be a concise, yet
comprehensive guide to material that was previously
either poorly documented or distributed. Going
forward, the Bandit Kingdoms Triad looks forward to
expanding this document with more options and
regional flavor to help players and judges further enjoy
the setting.
The single largest change introduced by this
document is the Bandit Kingdoms Meta-campaign
Record (BKMR). The BKMR tracks the following
information:
• Organizations joined
• Promotions
• Time and Gold paid towards the organization
• Feats and Spells selected from the
organizations
• Quitting or being expelled from an
organization
Introduction Meta-Campaign Game Play
Terms and Definitions
Bandit Kingdoms regional module: This is any
regional module approved by the Bandit Kingdoms
Triad and sanctioned by the Living Greyhawk Circle
of Six. All Bandit Kingdoms regional modules have a
code which follows a set format: BDKx-yy, where x is
the campaign year (eg, 3) and yy is the module number
(usually between 01 and 09).
Bandit Kingdoms regional scenario: This is any
regional scenario approved by the Bandit Kingdoms
Triad. This includes, but is not limited to, the
following: regional modules, interactives, mini-
modules. Iuz’s Border States meta-regional scenarios
which take place in the Bandit Kingdoms region (DM’s
discretion), and special missions.
Influence point (or Favor): Many of our meta-
organizations grant influence points within the region.
The influence points can be used for any purpose
outlined in the Bandit Kingdoms Campaign
1 11/22/2003
While the character’s membership in an organization is
recorded in the BKMR, the details are located in the
document you are holding right now. This division of
information allows the rules to be updated as
necessary, without requiring new paperwork to be
issued with each revision.
The Bandit Kingdoms Meta-Campaign Giudebook
acts as Regional Documentation (see the glossary of
the LGCS). Players will need to have both their Meta-
campaign Record and a copy of the most recent version
of this document in order to use the rules and
organizations within.
Sourcebook. Any other use is not allowed unless
specified in a Bandit Kingdoms regional scenario or
approved by the Bandit Kingdoms Triad.
Iuz’s Border States meta-regional scenario: This is
any meta-regional scenario approved by the Living
Greyhawk Circle of Six which specifically takes place
in meta-region 3. This includes, but is not limited to,
the following: meta-regional modules designated
IUZxx-yy (where xx is the campaign year and yy is the
module number), and interactives.
Year One / Two Org Cert (Old Cert): This is a
meta-organizational certificate granted between August
2000 and December 31st, 2002. As of August 1st, 2003,
all Old Certs become invalid.
Core & Class Guidebook Reference
In this document, there are many items and feats from
many different sources. Any item not from the
Dungeons Master Guide will be found in one of the
Guidebooks. As noted in the Living Greyhawk
Campaign Sourcebook, you must have the appropriate
guidebook present with you at the table if you desire to
use a feat, spell, or item from its pages.
Feat, Spell & Item Availability
No Bandit Kingdoms Meta-Organization grants bonus
feats or bonus spells. Feats listed are available to be
taken by member PC’s when they would normally be
able to learn a new feat. Spells listed are automatically
added to a divine spellcaster’s class spell list. Spells
listed must be scribed into the character’s spell book
(for those that cast from a spellbook) or learned when
the PC would normally be able to learn a new spell (for
those that cast spontaneously).
Reminder: spellbooks gained in scenarios must have
their contents scribed into the characters spellbook
before they may be memorized.
Unless specifically stated in the meta-organization, no
items are gifted to characters for joining an
organization. The character is granted access to
purchase or create the items listed in accordance with
the rules presented in the Living Greyhawk Campaign
Sourcebook. The item access granted through Bandit
Kingdoms meta-organizations has a frequency of
‘Regional’ and ‘Meta-regional’. This means a PC may
only purchase the items granted through his
organization after playing in a Bandit Kingdoms
regional scenario or Iuz’s Border States meta-regional
scenario.
Certain organizations grant access to weapon and/or
armor enhancements. The PC must pay the difference
between the existing price and the final price after the
enhancement and/or special ability is added. Note,
special abilities can only be added to items that have at
least a +1 enhancement bonus. Spell casters with the
appropriate item creation feats should use the rules
listed in the LG Campaign Sourcebook. The upgrades
also carry a frequency of ‘Regional’ and ‘Meta-
regional”. This means a PC may only perform the
upgrades granted through his organization after playing
in a Bandit Kingdoms regional scenario or Iuz’s Border
States meta-regional scenario.
Tiering
As you may have noticed, some of our meta-
organizations are tiered. Each level has various costs
and requirements and a different or increasing set of
benefits. There are a few things that need to be noted
when dealing with any tiered organization.
2 11/22/2003
The first deals with changing tiers in the middle of
the year. When doing so, you must pay the full cost for
the tier you wish to join, unless you are moving from a
higher cost tier to a lower cost tier.
The second deals with the amount of real-time spent at
a specific tier. Until September 1st, 2003 all of the time
the PC has been involved in the organization counts for
a time requirement. For instance if he has been a
Sharper of the Rookroost Thieves Guild for two years,
the character may become a Guild Rogue even though
he has not technically been a Guild Sharper for one
year or more. If you have not contacted your meta-
organization representative by September 1st, 2003, all
time spent is lost.
Residency Requirement
Unless otherwise noted in the organization write-up,
only Bandit Kingdoms regional characters may join or
advance within regional meta organizations.
Characters that change their home region from the
Bandit Kingdoms will, depending on the organizations
they belong to, have to leave it. Characters who leave
the organization will suffer the penalties as outlined for
leaving the organization or if permitted by the group
they may remain a member of the organization but are
required to pay an additional two time units as they
must travel to and from the region trying to maintain a
presence in the Bandit Kingdoms.
Updates & Revisions
This book will be updated every six months, in April
and October. If any changes are made to the text
within, the version number will be increased and the
date will be changed. If there are no updates to this
text, the date will be changed, but the version number
will remain the same.
Skill Bonuses and Penalties
To clarify, all skill bonuses (labeled or not) granted by
meta organizations are competence bonuses.
Remember that competence bonuses from different
sources do not stack.
All skill penalties (labeled or not) deducted by meta
organization are circumstance penalties. Remember
that circumstance penalties from different sources do
stack.
Leaving an Organization
Unless otherwise noted in the organization
description, the following occurs when a character
leaves a Bandit Kingdoms regional meta organization:
• She loses all benefits granted by the organization
including, but not limited to, skill bonuses, item
access, spell access, and feat access. (Feats and
spells already taken are kept. Items purchased are
kept.)
• She may never rejoin the meta organization at any
point in time for any reason.
• She no longer is required to pay the costs or suffer
the penalties associated with the organization.

Introduction to the Meta-Organizations

Basics of Membership
To join a meta-group you will first need a copy of a
blank Meta-Campaign Log Sheet (MCL). Next is to
have a Triad member or the group coordinator for that
group, sign your first entry, indicating the costs for
entry have been annotated on a log sheet.
Additionally, players may also send an application to:
bk-metagroups@yahoogroups.com.
This application should contain the player’s name,
RPGA number, and preferred email address.
Additionally, the character’s name, race, gender and
current class levels should be included. The player
must also include a statement to the effect that they
understand the requirements for the meta-group
membership and their PC meets or exceeds those
requirements. In the case where members must be
invited, the requestor must supply a player name,
RPGA number, and character name for the member(s)
who invited them.
Next a meta-group coordinator (or a Triad member)
will send the applicant an email confirming the current
requirements for membership. In some cases the
referring member(s) may be contacted to confirm the
invitation.
Once the applicant receives a response then at the next
BK scenario played they should show the judge the
email confirming the requirements. The Judge should
then check that the requirements are met and the
membership costs are included on the AR for the
adventure. If everything is in order then the judge
should have the player fill out the entry in the MCL
and the judge should sign off on it. This should only
be done at the end of a scenario so it does not interfere
with starting a round.
Last when a PC wishes to advance in a meta-org the
player should submit a new application for the new
membership level, or have the appropriate meta-group
coordinator or a Triad member review the character at
a convention.
Benefits of Membership
Meta-orgs may grant access to magic items, feats,
spells, or other special items. Once a player is member
of a group the PC will have access to these benefits.
Any spell that is learned, Feat taken, or magic item
purchased or modified should be recorder on the Log
Sheet and signed off by the judge who ran the game.
Note: changes will be made as the new books are
released and the Circle gives the Triads guidance on
what will be changing.

It was during this period that the area around Rift
Canyon had become embroiled in numerous petty
disputes. The area had always been a hot bed of bandit
activity, confined and controlled by Aerdi. Given the
aggressive raiding by its neighbors, the province of
Dimre had always maintained a strong, regimented
standing militia, capable of turning these bandit
incursions when necessary. While Dimre’s efforts
were turned eastward, the petty lords of these renegade
camps struck against a nearly undefended border. A
war of two fronts proved almost more than the Earldom
could stand, but then these aggressors made a critical
error that would shake Dimre to its core.
The murder of the Canon marked a change in the
province’s demeanor. His successor, a regal and
charismatic priest named Frau Tsagemred, spoke to the
heart of its wounded pride, its honor, and most of all to
its devotion to the Church of Pholtus. Earl
Wendelaine, who now commanded the province in
name only, became uncomfortable with the rhetoric of
this man. He ignited the people in a way he had never
seen before, but there was a cold unbending quality to
him. Wendelaine set his most trusted allies to the task
of learning the man’s secrets, only to discover Canon
Tsagemred was a devout student in what many
considered the blackest of the sacred texts of Pholtus:
the Ebongleam. When Wendelaine attempted to warn
Dimre of the character of its new Canon, Tsagemred
accused him of heresy and had him burned alive in the
public square of the capital, Sorgard. And while like-
minded priests were promoted to the highest stations
throughout Dimre, Tsagemred enraptured the citizens
with an aggressive campaign to stem the bleeding of
Dimre’s western territory to the hordes of bandits
which hid in Rift Canyon. Dimre had lost nearly two
thirds of its western territory, areas which would
eventually consolidate into the Duchy of Artonsamay
and the Free City-State of Stoink. The withdraw from
the eastern front was in effort to quell this bleeding off
of Dimre’s resources. By the time its western
boundaries had been refortified, the war between
Nyrond and the Pale was at an end.
Victorious in their campaign against the fanatics of the
northern provinces, Nyrond claimed rights to all the
lands and resources possessed by the Pale and began
stationing garrisons throughout the various provinces.
The lords of these were made to swear allegiance to
Nyrond and denounce the church of Pholtus, who had
been the instigator of the uprising. It was unthinkable
to defy the orders of the king, but Dimre, which was
already wholly controlled by the Church of Pholtus, did
just that. By then, word of Earl Wendelaine’s
execution had reached Rel Mord. Weary from battles
5 11/22/2003
with Aerdi and the upstart Pale, the Nyrondese King
weighed his options. If Dimre had retained control of
its silver mines in Rift Canyon, his choice might have
been different. Instead, while Dimre’s independence
was never recognized by the crown, it was left to its
own fate. Perhaps the King of Nyrond felt it would be
swallowed by the growing tide of banditry in that
region. He could not have been more wrong.
In 350CY, the province of Dimre became a full
Theocracy. Work began almost immediately on a
temple in the new capital, Marsekeer. The Masak was
a massive construct of stone and mortar. It was unlike
any of the temples built before it. Unlike many of the
beautifully furnished cathedrals of the Pale, the Masak
was spartan. Many of the priests snorted and claimed it
unfit for proper worship of one as glorious as Pholtus.
This was but another sign of the shift of power within
Dimre.
Relations between the Pale and Dimre are not what
they once were. During the occupation by Nyrond, the
church of the Blinding Light it never publically
supported the existence of this evil place. In hushed
tones in fact, many priests voiced their concerns.
When King Dustan I granted the Pale its autonomy in
450 *CY, the Prelate invited the church of Dimre to
swear allegiance to him and to rejoin the flock. Once
again in its history, the High Canon did the unexpected,
refusing to bow to the “pretender” of the church.
Thereafter, the church of the Blinding Light has
continually condemned the Theocracy of Dimre. Many
Prelates have sought to have the High Canon removed
and promote one more loyal to the Pale in his place.
Loyal young templars were sent out to this end, but
none has ever succeeded in those efforts. More often
than not, their sacred rings, received upon taking their
oaths, were sent back to the Prelate as a mocking
gesture. How the Canons of Dimre have successfully
avoided this fate is unknown.
The invasion of Iuz in 583CY caught many of the
bandit kings unprepared. When the demigod’s armies
reached the borders of the Theocracy, however, they
found a well armed militia and a wall of hard-eyed
priests. The battle against the humanoid and demon
laden hordes were bloody, but it was the priests of the
Masak that brought real fear to Iuz’s forces. Hardened
by years of painful rites and ritual scarring, the priests
seemed impervious to pain, nor did they hesitate to
suffer alongside common soldiers. Their exploits
during these early battles brought a newfound respect
(and fear) among the commoners as well as the other
Free Lords, and the borders of the Theocracy soon
swelled with homeless bandits eager to take the fight to
Dorakaa. Winuid’s demands of them were no less than
those he placed on the common men of the Theocracy.
When many of the newcomers balked at these
conditions and instead chose to ignore them, Iuz’s
troops were treated to a great pyre of one hundred
burning men. The bandits of the Combination had to
decide which was the more hated foe, and soon fell in
line with the commandments of the Masak.
Iuz eventually sent an envoy to seek a treaty of non-
aggression with the Theocracy. The eventual terms of
such an agreement would not be much to the
demigod’s liking. Indeed, no one is sure what spell
Canon Winuid worked on the attending priest, but from
the time he left the Masak to the moment Iuz had his
head neatly severed as punishment, the man never
uttered a sound; not even to scream.
After securing peace for a time Canon Winuid looked
forward and saw that if he wished to have Dimre
flourish and continue as an independent nation, he
would have to make some changes. He has decreed
that slavery of certain humanoids legal (Goblins,
Hobgoblins, and Kobolds), thus freeing many of the
citizenry of lesser tasks, so they may focus on the
security of the country. To help buffer against the Pale
backed elven raids from across the Artsomanay River,
Canon Winuid has had all the Lizardman tribes in the
Phostwood “Converted”. Creating a large contingent of
water and forest trained militia. Canon Winuid has
also tossed aside the traditional contempt for arcane
spell casters. He has integrated them closely into the
government to help bolster Dimre’s military strength
and keep Dimre safe from internal heresy.
Life continues in the Theocracy of Dimre, under the
terms of their treaty, Iuz has a small contingent of
troops stationed in Krostenburg. An envoy and his
guards have also taken residence at the Masak, in
Marsekeer. But there is no question in the minds of its
people Canon Winuid dominates these relationships.
Prominent Figures
High Canon Szek Winuid, Priest of the Ebongleam:
High Canon Winuid has only recently passed his
sixtieth year. A handsome man by birth, his appearance
has been spoiled from years of self-induced torture and
ritual scaring. Now his left eye has grown milky from a
cataract. He has stood as High Canon of Dimre for
more than twenty years, making his tenure the longest
in the history of the Theocracy. Age is beginning to
take its toll on the charismatic priest, and he is eager to
groom his successor.
Canon Morja Keylian, Priestess of the Ebongleam:
Canon Keylian is one of the few women of the Dimre
6 11/22/2003
church to have reached the station of canon and is in
charge on the Marsekeer District. She is ambitious
priestess, and has currently established herself as High
Canon Winuid’s most likely successor. She is a
handsome woman; unlike most of her peers, Canon
Keylian does not practice ritual scaring. Thus has she
maintained her beauty, plain as it is.
Canon Berristan Tarth, Priest of the Ebongleam: In
charge of the Steyr District, Canon Tarth has a rough
job. Continuous raids from the elves and ether
creatures across the river make living dangerous here.
Tarth hopes one day the forest district will be peaceful
and swell with inhabitants, but even with the help of
the lizardmen his dream seems far off. In fact, it is
rumored that Tarth is looking into unconventional ways
with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help bolster the
defenses, some might question their methods, but if
they stay within the tenants of Dimre and are
successful, who is to say its is wrong to fight outsiders
with outsiders.
Lord Aegon Santagar, High General of the Armies
of Dimre: Aegon has been the High General for over
20 years and is a steadfast believer in the current High
Canon. Some of his most notable accomplishments
since he has been in charge of the army are; Forming a
formal training school for his top officers in the art of
war and leadership, Staving off the forces of Iuz, The
Pale, Nyrond, and most recently the Ether threat,
Incorporating an aerial division to the army, consisting
of griffon riders to help with reconnaissance and long
range bombardments, but most recently by successfully
integrating the lizardmen into the army, and now
having a strong core of forest snipers and trackers,
helping secure the north-eastern border.
Lord Inquisitor Varys Harlaw, Head of Internal
Affairs: If one name strikes fear in the hearts of all
Dimreites, it is Varys. Part of High Canon Winuid’s
reforms was to create a Ministry of Internal Affairs and
use arcane casters to help weed out traitors, the
unlawful, and spies. The Ministry has been a great
success under Varys’s leadership, collecting a large
contingent of vigilant members working with the army
or on solo missions. They seem to be able to hear
everyone’s thoughts and know where to be to find any
illegal activity before it happens.
Lord Inquisitor Cersai Wylde, Head of Intellegence:
Not much is publicly known about Lord Inquisitor
Wylde, other than that Cersai is a woman. High Canon
Winuid decided information is key to keeping Dimre
safe and prosperous. The Ministry trains agents to go
out, spy, infiltrate, and gather whatever information
that might be useful. With potential enemies on all
sides, paranoia is a way of life.
Quarzknot, Emissary of Iuz: Quarzknot is an ugly,
profane, hunchbacked man whom Iuz hand picked for
his natural aptitude of infuriating the religious folk of
Dimre. The man is offensive even to the most tolerant
souls and his continued presence in the Masak is only
slightly bearable to the priests of the Ebongleam. For
his safety, Quarzknot is surrounded by a body of
sixteen half-ogre bodyguards. Though misshapen, the
man has a gift for intrigue and his volatile tongue can
grow sweet when he finds it convenient. He takes great
delight in reminding Canon Winuid how his untimely
death would ruin the peace between the Theocracy and
Iuz. A glutton, Quarzknot has no appreciation for “fine
Dimre cuisine” and has most of his meals imported.
While the priests of the Masak dine on stew and
potatoes, Quarzknot gorges on suckling pig and all
manner of delicacies he can arrange. He has even
brought his own chef to the Masak to prepare his
meals. Yet the foul priest never imbibes a drop of
liquor or alcohol.
Forms of Address
The internal hierarchy of the Church of Pholtus in
Dimre still mirrors that of the Theocracy of the Pale.
Tradition is not something to be cast aside by the
Ebongleam. Still, there is one fundamental change in
that the highest post of the church is the position of
High Canon. A few priests in its history have
contemplated naming themselves Prelate of Dimre.
These heretics were all done away with. The high
positions within the church are as follows:
Rank Address Number
High Canon Venerable Sir One
Canon Very Reverend Sir Nine

Brotherhood of the Sundered Ax
The Brotherhood began as a group of disposed nobles
and kinsmen from the Redhand area. All of them
worshiped Heironeous as priests, paladins or lay
worshipers. The core leadership is still believed to be
followers of Heironeous, and his worship is
encouraged. The Brotherhood consists of small
resistance cells with most members only having contact
with those in their cell. Orders are received from the
cell leader and it is not uncommon for orders to be
given without reasons. Each cell numbers from 10-12
members and there are believed to be at least two
levels of leadership above. The leadership includes a
high level priest of Heironeous, but his identity is well
hidden. Access to him is a closely guarded secret and
often under conditions that hide his true identity.
History
Redhand holds a section of the north coast of the Nyr
Dyv, from the old Shield Lands to the mouth of the
Artonsamay. “Prince" Zeech, an effete renegade Shield
Lands lord who broke with his nation in 577, swiftly
allied himself and his forces with luz in 583. The
alliance saved his realm from destruction, though the
old lords and soldiers of the realm chafed at taking
orders from half-orcs and worse. Those who refused
where dealt with. However, not all who resisted
perished at the hands of Zeech. Many fled back to the
Shield Lands and a few went into hiding. Those in
hiding have formed a resistance group with one goal,
ridding Redhand of both Zeech and Iuz. Most of these
were priests, paladins, and worshipers of Heironeous.
With the coming of Zeech, the Ax was broken, and the
Brotherhood would see it reforged. Thus the
Brotherhood of the Sundered Ax was born.
Many believe Zeech and his men are set for a rebellion.
The Brotherhood can see this and are preparing to fight
to. In preparation, they have been mobilizing their
forces and forming new cells. Perhaps you can help
them.
Cell Member
This is the lowest level of membership. The
Brotherhood is organized into cells of up 12 people.

Dazark Orcs
Proper Name: Dazark Tribe
Population: 1,500 in roaming clans
Ruler: Hurg-Gak (Clan Cheiftan)
Government: Loose Monarchy
Capital: None
Other Settlements: None
Resources: None
Population: 90% Orcs, 10% half-Orcs
Religions: Gruumsh, Luthic, Grolantor
Alignment: CN or CE
History and Facts
The Dazark are certainly not numerous, nor do they
have specific lands of their own. These nomadic,
scavenging orcs roam almost all of the lands north of
the Artonsamay that border the Fellreev and the forest
proper. These bands typically consist of fifty to two
hundred orcs and half-orcs. They hate other humanoid
tribes and will attack them, but otherwise they avoid
encounters unless they outnumber their opponents or
they are cornered, in which case they fight savagely.
Fundamentally, the Dazark are survivors. Less
aggressive than most orcs despite the many clerics of
Gruumsh among them, they are nevertheless a fighting
force to be reckoned with. The Dazarks also have
several clerics and adepts of Luthic, the closest orcs
have to a Power of healing and protection.
Living in gullies, caves, copses, or whatever offers
shelter for the night, the Dazark often wear animal-skin
armors and have a distinctive appearance. They always
have dark brown-green skin and very long black hair
greased with animal fat, tightly bound with leather
thongs into a single heavy plait hanging down their
backs. About half their numbers are skilled rangers
and woodsmen, and most use javelins or short bows in
combat. The remainder prefers to wield the traditional
greataxes of their kind, or even scythes.
Organization
The Dazark orcs are a nomadic peoples that scavange
the land in search of food to keep them alive. They are
structured around various ranks of clan membership.
The average Joe of the clan is simply a clan member.
Those that have proven themselves in battle or are
particularly adept at hunting or gathering are referred
to as blooded clan members, for they have to
13
participate in a clan rite known as “blooding.” The
clan gathers together and celebrates with the slaughter
of a wild pig or other forest creature, and the clan
member that is being promoted is anointed with the
blood of the freshly slaughtered animal and gets to
drink the first cup of its blood.
The next rank up is the subchieftan. The subchieftan is
usually in charge of a group from 15 to 50 orcs. This is
traditionally a male dominated position, but there have
been instances in the past where a female has played
the role. The subchieftan is given almost supreme
authority over his clan, and is answerable only to the
clan speaker and the chieftan himself.
The clan speaker is technically above the sub-chieftan,
but usually only participates in the political aspects of
governance. He is not concerned with the day-to-day
hunting and gathering routines, but only with
interactions between clans within the tribes. It is the
clan speaker that is responsible for reporting to the
Chieftan of the tribe as to the general status of the clan.
Important People
The most important person in the tribe today is the
current chieftan Hurg-Gak. He is a huge orc that is
well known for his prowess with the traditional weapon
of his people. Hurg-Gak’s skill with his greataxe is
legend among the tribes, and it is rumored that he once
took down thirty hobgoblins in one mighty blow. He
has been the leader of the tribe now since the invasion
of Iuz. The people have prospered under his leadership
and are very happy with his rule.
Hurg-Gak is advised by his brother Hurg-Gluk, who is
renowned to be one of the most powerful shaman to
have lived in tribal history. He assists his brother
regularly, and clan members come to him regularly for
advice and healing. Do not let his smooth demeanor
fool you, however, for he is almost as deadly as his
brother in combat. It is rumored that his shield moves
on its own, allowing him to use both hands on his huge
staff, which is reportedly still green and full of thorns.
Recent Events
Although the Dazarks would prefer to be left alone,
some among the clan members have begun to voice the
11/22/2003
opinion that the clan should unite and strike back at all
those that are seeking to drive them off their traditional
homeland. Elves, Men, Iuzians, and other humanoid
tribes are potential targets for their raids. The leader of
this violent faction within the clan is rumored to be
named Grog. From what tales have told, he is a
fearsome half-orc that wears the hide of a strange gray
beast and wields a huge scythe. He is augmented by a
Hexer that is frightful to behold and tells tales of the
day when blood will run in rivers in the Fellreev.
If Grog and his backers seize control of the tribe, there
could be hell to pay in the forest…
Relationships with Other Groups
The Dazark are not particularly interested in the
goings-on in the Bandit Kingdoms, unless it impinges
upon their clan. They are not particularly fond of the
elves, nor do they care for Skannar Hendricks and his
men, but they are smart enough to form alliances when
it protects their interests.

Defenders of The Greenkeep
Proper Name: None
Population: 2,000 in scattered camps
Ruler: None (various leaders)
Government: None
Capital: None
Other Settlements:
None
Resources: None
Population: 70% humans, 10% half-
elves, 5% half-orcs 5% sylvan elves.
Religions: Oldimarra.
Law: CN
Of the forces of men who escaped the slaughter at
Steelbone Meadows, few have faired worse than the
self-styled “Defenders of the Greenkeep.” These
loosely aligned bands of raiders occupy the sliver of
forestation between the Artonsomay River and the
darkened plains of the grim Fleichshriver. Theirs is a
hard life of struggle as they must not only contend with
the fiendish remains of Iuz’s preeminent citadel in the
Combination of Free Lords, but also the indigenous
wood elf and orc tribes of the Fellreev, neither of
whom are sympathetic to their cause.
History
The years following the occupation of the Bandit
Lands were hardest on these men. Few of them were
foresters and they lacked even the most basic woodland
skills of foraging and survival. They were forced to
eek out an existence as raiders, striking out at all
potential targets. Harassed by the Dazark orcs of the
Artonsomay as well as the deadly sylvan elf clans of
the eastern Fellreev, these folk had few friends among
the Reyhu they could turn to. And so for years they
found themselves trapped. Poorly equipped, there was
no ready supply of even the most essential provisions
to fill their needs. No more than one or two camps
dared gather together for more than a day for fear of an
ambush by the Dazark or that a member of Iuz’s
Greater Boneheart would snuff them out on a whim.
Still, these men found pleasure in each other’s
company and appreciated with grim humor the straits
Olidammara had thrust upon them.
In more recent years their situation has improved, in
large part to Skannar Hendrick and his company at the
fort that share’s his name. While the “Defenders” still
do not enjoy any formal alliance between the displaced
Reyhu and the elves of the Fanlareshen, they have
18
found a way to profit from mutual interests. The
Defenders monitor the movements of the Dazark orcs
as well as comings and goings from the Fleichshriver
for the Reyhu and elves. In turn, they receive basic
provisions. It is an alliance built on desperate need, not
on good will or trust. The Reyhu, even many of those
of Fort Hendrick, were once considered fair game by
these men and have not forgotten their mercenary
spirit. With no central leadership to bind these
scattered bands of Defenders, they are cautious. Not
all have faired so poorly and some continue to raid the
camps of their brothers’ allies. If there were ever a
group to survive on their own terms, with no one to call
friend, it is the Defenders.
Organization
The Defenders are an odd lot. They move freely
between camps and rarely make lasting friends. They
refer to one another as brother, even though they may
never know the name of their companion. Each of
them is aware that the next day may find them dead at
the hands of an orc or elf, which gives them a zest for
life and a care-free, almost reckless spirit. They fight
like cornered animals with an intensity that rivals the
barbarians of the north. They simply have nothing left
to lose. They have a saying amongst their ranks:
“Death is easy.”
Brother of The Greenkeep
The vast majority of those who call themselves the
Defenders of the Greenkeep are simply the “brothers.”
For many of these dispossessed refugees struggling to
survive this is the only family they have left.

• Base Attack bonus of +1 or greater

Red Planks
History
Originally formed by four Rhenee smuggling families
long before the Greyhawk wars, the Red Planks were
named for the distinctive keel boards that they used on
their river barges. While the original purpose of the
Red Planks was smuggling contraband from country to
country while evading Customs and Revenue officers,
the organization took a different turn during the
Greyhawk Wars.
Most Rhenee attempted to stay neutral during the
Greyhawk wars, plying their boats up and down the
major rivers emptying into the Nyr Dyv. The four
families of the Red Planks were based on the
Artonsamay River and felt the brunt of Iuz’s advances.
Trade was disrupted and smuggling became dangerous.
The Red Planks saw an opportunity to start smuggling
information and human cargo as the rich attempted to
flee from Iuz’s advances. Soon, their web of
information required them to bring others into the
organization to provide a face for the organization, as
many people held a strong prejudice against the
Rhenee, even as they accepted their aid.
Eventually, the organization made a nearly fatal
mistake. Their success in the face of Old Wicked’s
agents and the constant vision of the atrocities
committed by Iuz’s allies led them to take a public
stand against the Old One. They agreed to ferry
supplies and reinforcements to Duke Geller of
Artonsamay as the armies of Iuz approached. Their
mission was betrayed and there was a great slaughter as
most of the Red Planks went to the bottom of their
river that day under the massive magical assault that
eventually leveled the Duke’s castle and laid waste to
the entire Duchy. Only a few in the original families
survived this assault and the subsequent purges, and
most of those only through the efforts of non-Rhenee
compatriots. Those who survived did so only through
deception, disguise and illusion, as those who fought
died quickly and horribly. Those few that survived
vowed Vendetta against Iuz and his minions. Because
of the efforts of their non-Rhenee compatriots, their
organization has the occasional non-Rhenee member.
Since the purges, the organization has been driven
underground, never again taking a public stand for or
against the Old One. In a diabolical move calculated to
drive a wedge between the Rhenee, Iuzite commanders
during the Greyhawk wars started to give captured
Rhenee women to their orcish and humanoid troops for
“entertainment”, claiming that because of the actions of
20
the Red Planks, no Rhenee were truly neutral. Because
of this outrage, the Red Planks have nothing to do with
these bastard, half-orc offspring, nor will they allow
them into the organization. This has also led to some
enmity with those Rhenee who worked so hard to stay
neutral in the wars.
Knowing that they could never survive the open use of
force against Iuz, Red Plank arcanists have specialized
in deception, favoring the schools of Illusion and
Enchantment. The organization demands that their
arcanists eschew Necromancy in all its forms as they
see it as leading down the path to Hallorn. They
discourage the use of Evocation as too noticeable.
Many fighters on the barges use the traditional weapon
of the Rhenee, the dharka. They are both the muscle
and the front of the guild, allowing the organization to
continue its business activities in the face of the
Bonehearts’ continued suspicions. Theirs is not an
easy life, and many of them have learned the tricks of
dirty fighting necessary to survive on the waterfront.
The primary information gatherers come from the
rogues and bards in the guild. They arrange for the
transfer of information and the gathering of valuable
cargo (both human and information). Many of the
wandering troupes of entertainers that are on the
caravan roads of the Oerth are actually Red Plank
information gatherers: some Rhenee, some not.
Major Figures in the Red Planks
Captain Vassily Romiki is a male Rhenee in his
mid forties. Captain Romiki has vowed to never set
foot on land in the Combination of Free Lords until the
Vendetta is completed. He is renowned for his
knowledge of the river and its dangers. It is Captain
Vassily that is in charge of the boats and all navigation,
although he defers to Mother Kanski and the Veth if
they see portents. A story is told of how, in completion
of a vow, Captain Vassily had The Veth strike him
blind, then poled from Pieper’s Ferry to the Nyr Dyv in
a one man skiff. Legend has it that he never even hit a
sandbar. When he arrived at the mouth of the
Artonsamay, the only things in his boat were the pole,
his dharka and the heads of the fourteen hobgoblins
who had tried to kill him on his trip down the river.
Mother Kanski, Dreamweaver of the Clans is
ancient by human standards. Mother Kanski is the
11/22/2003
only leader of the clans present when the Red Planks
were almost destroyed in the ambush by Iuz’s forces.
Unfortunately, her husband, three of her four children,
13 of her 18 grandchildren and 8 of her great
grandchildren were slain in the ambush. It was Mother
Kanski who gathered the remnants of the organization
together, appointed Captain Romiki as the new leader
and declared Vendetta. She holds no official power in
the clans, cares for no administrative duties (which are
all done by her daughters in law and grand daughters in
law), but is the final voice in any decision that she
partakes in. This has lead to some friction with the
Veth of the clans, who is a relative newcomer to the
job.
Sonya Lusoschenko (The Veth) is relatively young
for a Veth. Sonya replaced her aunt Tatiana as Veth
when Tatiana was captured during an inspection in
Stoink in early CY 592. A group of Iuzite custom
inspectors planted a suspicious cargo and were getting
ready to confiscate the barge. In the confusion, they
stumbled upon a wanted fugitive, and the entire crew
was arrested. All except for Tatiana were executed
before the clans could act. Tatiana is now held captive
in the Temple Grimacing in Stoink in the Gul Bortha, a
notorious prison complex. The fact that Tatiana is
believed alive, and an unfortunate confrontation with
Mother Kanski early in her tenure, has weakened the
Veth. She chafes that many go to Mother Kanski for
divination rather than the Veth, who is traditionally the
source of this information.
Shadow-weaver Tasha Kanski is a stunningly
beautiful female Rhenee in her early thirties. Great-
Granddaughter of mother Kanski, she lives on the
Pretska Livya (the laughing wave) with her all male
crew. This crew is renowned amongst the clans not
only for their sailing prowess, but also for the quality
of their singing voices. Unlike many of the Rhenee,
Tasha spent many years off the river, traveling with
circuses and wandering troupes of entertainers. There,
she honed her skills of subtle magic and mind control.
There are still many towns within the Combination
where her performances are remembered as legendary.
She is acknowledged to have the most beautiful alto
voice ever to grace the clans.
Dmitri the Black, Shadow-master, male(?) Rhenee,
Age and alignment unknown. As long as there has
been the Red Planks, there has been Dmitri the Black.
The assumption is that the new Shadow-master takes
this name, but few have ever seen him in his
undisguised form. Some speculate that the current
Dmitri comes from the Norodnaya clan and is one of
Mother Kanski’s grandsons. He coordinates the
21
tendrils of information that flows up and down the river
and makes sure that any information pertinent to the
clans gets where it needs to.
Relationships with other Organizations
in the Bandit Kingdoms:
The Red Planks maintain a wary business relationship
with the Thief’s guilds of Rookroost, Stoink and
Alhaster, as well as that of Radigast City in the County
of Urnst. Due to certain conflicts between the
Rookroost and Stoink guilds, this has strained the
relationships with both guilds. The Red Planks
consider themselves independent contractors and
attempt to stay out of the middle of these conflicts.
The rumor that certain of General Hok’s operatives
were preparing to make the Rhenee the fall guy for a
non-Rhenee smuggling operation in Alhaster has
strained the relations with this resistance organization.
Additionally, Mother Kanski was plying the river when
General Hok was general of the Horned Society and
remembers his atrocities from that time.
The Red Planks have been seen on the river next to the
Fellreev. They do not speak of their activities, but
quite a bit of cargo from the river has recently been
seen in Fort Hendrix.
They have trading relationships with the Theocracy of
Dimre, occasionally providing the Theocracy with
information or goods in exchange for Phostwood.

The Gonagin Clan
The Gonagin Clan is the most widespread and
infamous group of halflings within the former
Combination of Free Lords. Driven by their disdain
for the taller races, the Gonagin’s strive towards
beating the world on their own terms.
History
Although not native to the lands that would become the
Bandit Kingdoms, halflings migrated to the region
during the same period as the rise of the first Free
Lords. Settling along the northern shore of the Nyr
Dyv, halflings built communities around their farms
and ranches. In the beginning, these communities were
frequently the victims of raids by bandits and
humanoids from the hills, but over time the hobniz (as
they were known to the native Flan) were able to barter
with the bandits for protection in exchange for crops,
cattle, and halfling scouts. In the years leading up to
the Greyhawk Wars, it was not at all unusual for a band
of halfling slingers to accompany Reyhu raiders across
the border into the Shield Lands.
During the Greyhawk Wars, the relationship between
the halflings and the Reyhu was destroyed. While the
details are sketchy at best, it is known that a mixed
settlement of Reyhu and halflings named Mercy’s
Bluff was in the path of one of the Old One’s invading
armies. In the night prior to the battle, the Reyhu
disappeared leaving the hobniz to face the invaders
alone. The halflings were slaughtered almost to a man,
while the Reyhu fled north towards the Fellreev Forest
and east into the Rift Canyon.
A few halflings survived and were able to pass on the
tale of the Reyhu betrayal to other halfling
communities along the southern border. Many farms
were abandoned in the following weeks as halflings
began to disappear into the wilderness. For a time after
the Treaty of Greyhawk, it was rare to see a halfling
outside of Rookroost or Stoink in the Bandit
Kingdoms.
In the meantime, there was a purge among the Reyhu
as Skannar Hendricks expelled or killed the more
malevolent bandits under him in order to secure an
alliance with the Fanlarashan Elves. Many of those
responsible for the massacre at Mercy’s Bluff were put
to the sword during the purge, while others changed
behavior to suit Hendricks agenda. By the late 580’s,
most of the Reyhu had forgotten the betrayal at
Mercy’s Bluff.
32
In 589 CY, halflings began to return from the
wilderness calling themselves the Gonagin Clan. The
hin (as they call themselves, for they do not see
themselves as half of anything) renewed their contacts
with their kin that had remained in the cities and began
to seek revenge on the doublings (humans and other
tall races) that betrayed them a decade ago.
Activities
The Gonagin’s have their fingers in many different
pies. A large number of them are involved in criminal
activities in Rookroost (unconfirmed, of course)
conceivably to use the resources of the city’s
underworld for their own benefit. They work hard to
protect the hin, although they have little patience for
“stilts”, halflings who seek to emulate humans or other
tall races.
The Gonagin’s are known to visit orphanages, not only
in the Bandit Kingdoms, but also in some of the
neighboring nations and adopt orphaned halflings to
bring into the clan.
Organization
The greatest division within the Gonagin’s is between
those who live in the wild and those who remain in the
cities. It has been codified somewhat within the clan,
with each sect dedicated to one of the patron deities of
the Clan.
The Thorn Sect, dedicated to Sheela Peryroyl, is
largely made up of hin rangers and druids. Operating
out of the southern plains and the eastern Tangles, the
Thorn sect is the most dedicated towards revenge on
the Reyhu, as they have passed on the stories of the
Betrayal as part of their ceremonial rituals for the last
decade.
Following Brandobaris’ spirit, the Foot Sect is based
out of the Gonagin House in Rookroost. A mix of
rogues, warriors, and arcanists, the Foot Sect is most
interested in embarrassing doublin’s as a whole, while
improving the lives of the hin they support. Much of
the efforts of the Foot are directed towards obtaining
the resources the clan as a whole requires to continue
their activities.
While not a true sect within the Gonagin’s, there is a
small group dedicated to Urogalan, the hin god of
death. They consider it their task to record the tales of
the hin that have lived and died in service to the clan,
for others to remember and emulate.
11/22/2003

In addition to the divisions within the clan, there is a
definite hierarchy as well. Although the majority of
Gonagin’s are not actually related by blood, the clan
uses familial titles to track the position of a hin within
the group. Unproven members are frequently referred
to as “distant relations”, while the majority of the clan
are “cousins”. The most dedicated members of the
sects are “brothers” or “sisters” and respected elders
and leaders are “aunts” and “uncles”.
Several members of the clan have been sent on
missions outside of the Combination. Although they
are burdened with the task of frequently returning
home to report on their efforts, their services are
recognized and they are permitted to advance within
the family normally (i.e. members of the Gonagin Clan
who reside outside the Bandit Kingdoms region may
advance within the organization as if they lived in-
region.)
Symbol
The symbol of the Gonagin Clan is a black open-
fingered handprint on a green field. In addition, the
Thorn and Foot sects frequently use the symbols of
their patron deities in situations where outsiders are
unlikely to observe.
Prominent Members
“Grampa” Gonagin is a surly old hin and the oldest
member of the Clan, as he is the only survivor of the
Reyhu betrayal still alive today. Unfortunately, time
has not been kind to him and his memory and wits have
become confused. He now lives at the Gonagin House
in Rookroost, attended by a follower of Urogalan.
Uncle Warsee Gonagin remains in the Tangles most of
the year, tending to his gardens and a small hidden
shrine to Sheela Peryroyl. He also oversees the
training den where the riding wolves of the Thorn sect
are raised.
Relationship with Other Organizations
Fort Hendricks: Although Skannar Hendricks and his
men killed or expelled many of the Reyhu responsible
for the betrayal at Mercy’s Bluff, many of the bandits
remain sheltered within the forest walls of the Fellreev.
Never forgetting or forgiving the Reyhu, the Gonagin’s
alternately blame Hendrick’s for harboring criminals or
for denying them their revenge on the Reyhu leaders of
Mercy’s Bluff.
Rookroost Thieves Guild: Many members of the
Gonagin’s have allied themselves with the underworld
33
of Rookroost. With their natural talents for stealth, the
hin have been able to gain rank within the guild
unimpeded by their race or stature. However, the hin
recognize that the Guild is a doubling organization, and
work hard to ensure that they owe no debts or favors to
it or its leaders.
Distant Relation of the Gonagin Clan
Dividing themselves along familial ranks, Distant
Relations are the least experienced and trustworthy
members of the clan. Observed and tested by the elder
hin, the distant relations are the chaff from which the
Gonagins are sifted.

Rookroost Thieves Guild
Having always been a powerful organization, the
Rookroost Thieves' Guild is feared throughout the
Bandit Kingdoms. Even despite its occupation by the
forces of Iuz, the oldest of the Bandit Kingdom's cities
continues to be dominated by the powerful bandit
rogues and assassins of the Guild.
Rumors abound that the Guild itself is led by a
mysterious figure known only as “the Eye”. This
powerful guild master, who presides over an extensive
web of contacts and resources, rules with “an iron hand
in a velvet glove,” using the ten Thief Masters trying to
keep a tight control of the city’s illicit activities.
As a clear indication of this influence, the Guild once
enjoyed a monopoly on all theft of property within the
city of Rookroost.. Additionally, there are many secret
passages that run throughout the city, controlled either
directly or indirectly by the Guild. These passages are
used for getaways, smuggling, and anything else a
guild member might require in the course of plying his
trade. In fact, the only ways to or from the city that
aren't controlled by the government are controlled by
the Guild, which has made them a nexus of smuggling
activity and black-market sales in this part of the
Bandit Kingdoms.
The Guild rankings are as follows:
• Specialists: These are Guild friends who have
gained “Protected” status in return for services
that they may render to the Guild.
• Sharpers: These are the apprentices of the
Guild and the starting rank of any rogue who
joins the Guild.
• Rogues: These are the journeymen of the
Guild and the most common level of Guild
members.
• Training Masters: These are accomplished
thieves who help control the Guild and
provide training for Rogues and Sharpers
• Thief Masters: These are the most powerful
members of the Guild. They form a Council
of Thieves that work with “the Eye” to
control both the Guild and the city.
• “The Eye” (guild master): The identity of
“the Eye” remains confidential to all lower
ranks in the Guild, where only the Thief
Masters and a few select Training Masters
even know who “the Eye” is and how “the
Eye” is chosen.
37
Additionally the guild has been divided into several
departments, each dealing with a particular specialty as
follows:
• General – this would be the most common.
Most guild members find keeping their skills
generalized works best for them.
• Arcanist – These members focus on supplying
arcane support for the guilds activities.
• Box Man – These Rouges specialize on
opening and disarming traps, commonly found
on chests
• Cat Burglar – The second story man. This
group focuses on stealthy approaches and
exits to the target job.
• Faceman – Also called a con man. With the
best of them, you never for sure whether they
are lying or if they are telling you the truth..
• Olidammara’s Mask – Insure the guild pays
proper respect to their patron God.
• Pickpicket – As the name suggests these are
the masters of slight of hand.
• Snitch – Some members focus on keeping in
the loop with the activities of the city and
beyond.
• Thug – When all else fails, every group of
thieves need a Thug or two to enforce the will
of the Guild.
• Assassins – For years the RTG has ruled in
the shadows, often enforcing its will through
the use of those who have little regard for the
value of life. The Assassins are collectively
known as the Blades and only their Thief
Master and “The Eye” know who they are.

48 11/22/2003
Moskol’s Legion
Situated north of Rift Canyon, the Earldom of the
Tangles has perhaps suffered the worst under the
occupation of Iuz than any other domain in the
Combination. The lands are quite diverse, ranging
from low rocky hills in the south, to the wide plains
dividing it from the Warfields and Greenhall, to the
thick canopy of the Tangles. These lands have seen
considerable destruction wrought by the demigod’s
forces and the once plentiful landscape has been
largely reduced to scorched earth and mud. Only the
Tangles appears to have survived unscathed, though
not for Iuz’s efforts. For years, the humanoid armies at
Splinter Keep have done their best to raze the forest
and drive out the few remaining clusters of freemen
who dwell within, but to no avail. The forest seems to
heal these wounds magically.
The previous ruler of the Tangles, Earl Reynard, was
slain when Iuz’s forces invaded Hallorn in 582 CY.
For five years, the domain tittered on the verge of
anarchy as those who managed to escape into the
Tangles fought a losing war against the demigod’s
infernal host and humanoid armies. Things changed
with the banishing of the fiends and Furyondy’s Great
Northern Crusade. A new Earl was named, tasked with
bringing a semblance of order to the domain. As a
symbol of his authority, Earl Aundurach was presented
with a hideous scepter, crafted from the bones of
Reynard. Only one as mad as Aundurach would
consider his control of the Earldom “orderly,” but the
priest of Iuz has managed to make the Tangles
productive again, and return some sense of normalcy to
these war-ravaged people. He rules from the Earl’s
keep in Hallorn and is almost never seen beyond its
walls except when he attends a brutal ceremony to
make it clear who rules the Tangles.
The lands of the Earldom are normally quite bountiful.
The plains west of the Tangles are still farmed, despite
the pressing occupation on Hallorn. The Earldom
controlled a few modest silver mines in the southern
rocky plateau near Rift Canyon. A few small streams
and rivers, tributaries of the Ritensa and the
Artonsamay, run from the Tangles and provide natural
sources. The Tangles themselves have always formed
a natural defense, a place for the people of the Earldom
to disappear when necessary. Thick with vegetation
and undergrowth, the forest has always impeded war
machines and cavalry forces. It has been at this central
point that most of the larger communities in the domain
have sprung. Few of these survived the war with Iuz,
however. The once verdant fields are only now
beginning to return to their previous production; many
49
remain abandoned and overgrown with grasses, weeds,
and rats. The men of the Tangles are not burdened
with taxes, as there are not enough of them to make the
effort valuable. Instead, all of the silver from the
southern mines is used to fill Iuz’s coffers, and what
food can be spared is sent to feed his armies.
Life in the Tangles, the civilized parts that is, can only
be described as quiet paranoia. The domain is wholly
controlled by Iuz, save for the small pockets of
resistance in Hallorn and the Tangles. The failure to
control these bands have led to pressure on the military
commanders and to Earl Aundurach, who in turn take
out their anger on the common people unfortunate
enough to be in their paths. The situation has calmed
somewhat in the past few years, but the people of the
Earldom have learned when to keep silent and when to
hide. No one can expect to go unmolested, but those
who speak out are as likely to find themselves made
examples of as supported by the Earl’s skewed concept
of justice.
History
The Earldom’s history is one of the more stable, and
certainly the most benign, in the course of the
Combination of Free Lords. Hallorn, the capital, was
originally founded as a waystation by a band of
renegade adventurers in 400 CY. The region already
had a propensity for lawlessness, as it lay somewhat
out of sight between the kingdoms of Aerdi and
Furyondy. Hallorn was little more than a backwater
outpost at this point, but its population grew as the Rift
Canyon area grew thick with bandits. The founding
party, led by an outspoken priest of Oldimmara named
(Doma Skelton), carved a trained militia out of the
common people, and used many of the devices they’d
uncovered in their career to their disposal. It didn’t
take long for word to spread of a sanctuary among the
otherwise lawless country. In a moment of good
humor, Skelton anointed himself Earl of “the Tangles.”
“Only an ass would crown himself king of such a place
as this,” he jested.The title stuck, and the Earldom of
the Tangles was born.
Time passed and the strength of the Earldom grew, fed
by many fleeing the influx of bandits in the area. The
title of Earl was passed down to the descendants of the
original founders, and was always treated more as an
honor than a title of authority. The people of the
Tangles followed the Earl more out of their respect for
his ancestors than because of any noble calling.
Surrounded by petty lordships who only flirted with the
11/22/2003
concepts of law, the people had a common interest, and
a reason to work together. There were occasional
skirmishes with the neighboring domains, but fortune
smiled down on the small domain. It was by and large
one of the most self-sufficient and productive domains
in the Combination of Free Lords.
Luck began to run short for the folk of the Tangles in
578 CY when the Hierarchs of the Horned Society
captured the Barony of Wormhall and the Warfields.
From that point on began a near constant succession of
raids into the Tangles. Horned Society raiders even
found passage through Abbarra, who was traditionally
neutral throughout the region but whose rulers had long
had a relationship with the Hierarchs. Forced to
dedicate so much of his militia to defending its western
border, there was little then Earl Reynard could do to
quell the [ignite] skirmishes from Rift Canyon and the
Kingdom of Johrase. Neighboring Greenkeep offered
some aid, but feared assaults on its own borders (not to
mention the threat of Abbarra’s involvement). These
assaults continued until 582 CY, when Iuz put an end
to the whole thing.
Earl Reynard and his followers found themselves very
much alone as the demigod’s armies swept across the
bandit lands. Weakened from years of battle against
the Horned Society, the folk of the Tangles stood little
chance against the horde of demons and humanoids
who came in waves. Yet even under insurmountable
odds, the Tangle was among the last of the domains to
fall. The Burning of Hallorn marked the end of their
war with Iuz. Earl Reynard was captured and forced to
swear allegiance to Iuz. When he sought to explain to
his captors that he had little control over what his
people chose to do, he was staked to the wall of his
Keep and before the remaining citizens of Hallorn had
the flesh rended from his body by demons. His bones
were then shipped off to Dorakaa and a full garrison
stationed at the keep.
Many resourceful folk managed to escape into the
Tangles. What Earl Skelton had once claimed to be the
second most hideous place in the Flanaess proved to be
his people’s salvation. These folk did their best to eke
out an existence in the inhospitable place. Bandits
from the Midlands and Joharse had also taken to hiding
in the forest. Together, these folk put their allegiances
aside for the common enemy, and began conducting
raids against Iuz’s forces. These attacks were not
always successful, and the numbers of these freemen
dwindled quickly. From Rookroost, Cranzer of the
Boneheart commanded the construction of Splinter
Keep, whose host was ordered to carry out the razing
of the Tangles and the execution of all traitors found
within. Strangely, the forest proved to have incredible
50
regenerative capabilities, and the flames did little to cut
back the foliage for any period of time. A few claim
you could actually see the forest grow from their
vantage at Splinter Keep. Still, it was only a matter of
time as teams of hobgoblins and ghastly demonic
hounds penetrated the Tangles in search of resistance
cells.
Help came in an unlikely fashion. In the winter of 583
CY, a trio of militant priests from Furyondy appeared
before the largest cell who had been driven to the heart
of the Tangles. They brought with them weapons,
food, and ointments for healing which they applied
liberally. Dedicated to Trithereon, these priests were
bent on training the remaining freemen in guerilla
tactics. Led by a priest named Otolle, then managed to
join many of the remaining cells into a considerable
force. The men of the Tangles have no delusions.
They do not harbor hope that they will ever return to
Hallorn, or wherever else they once called home. But
they do wish to play the thorn in Iuz’s side for as long
as they can manage. Such would do the memory of
Earl Skelton proud.
Important Personas
Earl Aundurach: Earl Aundurach might have been a
handsome man once. But the madness he suffer from
has twisted his appearance. He is hopelessly paranoid,
almost as much as the people he controls. His actions
are chaotic and unpredictable. His only constants are
his loyalty to Iuz and his fear of Cranzer. Those close
to him know how to use these facts to their advantage.
So long as he keeps the people of Hallorn under
control, Cranzer permits him to play king.
Kreela: Kreela is Cranzer’s eyes and ears in Hallorn.
She reports to him regularly through a magic bowl on
Aundurach and his latest exploits. She makes no secret
of the fact that she despises the Earl, but her loyalty to
Iuz and Cranzer keep her in check. She plays the role
of chief advisor dutifully, taking delight in using her
position to send Aundurach into gibbering fits on
occasion. She has little pity for the poor souls he takes
his anger out on afterward, for she believes all who
would bow to such a beast deserve their fate.
Tarren Moskol: Tarren is the leader of the largest
resistance cell within the Tangles. Tracing his
bloodline back to the founders of the Earldom, he
would be in line for Earl should he survive this ordeal,
which he does not expect to. He finds this pessimistic
outlook liberating, allowing him to take risks he might
not if he expected otherwise. He is greatful for the
assistance Otolle and his fellow priests bring with
11/22/2003
them, though they are perhaps a touch too preachy for
his tastes. He is respected and honored by those who
have chosen to follow him. Though command of the
forest city has been surrendered to him, Tarren is quite
suspicions about Umbardos. The fool never seems to
reveal all he knows at any given time, or how he has
come to know it.
Otolle: A crusader of Trithereon from Furyondy,
Otolle has made it his mission to lead the people of the
Tangles against the overwhelming forces of Iuz. He
respects these people and their courage, though he
wishes they were less pessimistic about their chances.
They are Trithereon’s arm against Iuz, and he will let
no harm come to them until the demigod bleeds from
their wound. Utilizing a plane shift spell through an
enchanted device, Otolle and his peers have brought
aid to these suffering people and offered them a chance
at retribution.
Umbardos, the Lord of the Motley: The self styled
“lord of the motley,” there are a million stories of how
Umbardos came to rule his forest city at the center of
the Tangles. In some, he was the court fool of an Aerdi
lord before one evening killing the tyrant and running
off with his daughter. In another, he is a Knight of the
Watch who was converted to the worship of
Oldimmara and found his post far to dour and serious
to maintain. In none of these stories is the man less
than one hundred years old, though he appears no older
than thirty. The oldest citizen of his tree-born city is
fifty, and Umbardos has ruled throughout the woman’s
lifetime. Whatever the truth of Umbardos’ sordid past,
he is not going to reveal it first. He loves to speak of
riddles and prophesies and seems to have an infinite
patience.

Forts Hendricks and Scorn
Skannar Hendricks, a powerful chieftain of the Reyhu
group of bandits, is a lot smarter than most. Fleeing
from Iuz, attacked by a band of 200 Dazark
encountered on the first day in the forest, his men then
took something of a drubbing from the eastern wood
elves, though they managed to slay a powerful
fighter/mage. He decided that he really needed some
allies. The wood elves didn’t seem to want to simply
murder the bandits wholesale, so Hendricks talked
peace with them.
Incredibly, this alliance has worked. Hendrick’s men
include fewer evil, and more neutrally aligned men
than most bandit gangs. Likewise the elves have many
neutrals. There was some room for understanding,
since both hated Iuz and his orcs. So, the wood elves
have allowed Hendricks’ men to build a couple of
strongholds in the Fellreev and after a joint battle
against a large force from Fleichshriver in Patchwall,
584 CY, some kind of friendship has been cemented.
The two races have begun to develop a wary respect
for each other and teach each other their skills. The
elves have shown the bandits the skills of forest
hunting and snaring, and how to mount forest
ambushes. The bandits brought very good weaponry
with them and have given the elves some, and they
even managed to bring a hundred good horses, which
have been bred successfully at Fort Hendricks. Wood
elves are now to be seen galloping along the Fellreev
margins on raids against Iuz’s supply lines. Skilled
rope use and the building of fortified forest villages
have also shown the elves talents some of them have
found worthy of learning. There‘s a mutual admiration
in combat skills too. The bandits respect the elves’
agility, speed, and their talent for ambush, while the
elves respect the bandits’ brute strength and mastery of
two-handed weapon use.
However, it is the intelligence and charisma of
Hendricks and the Clanmaster of Fanlareshen which
have cemented this alliance, together with Hendricks’
very public proclamations of what penalties will befall
any of his men harming any of the elves. Swift
execution was meted out to one group who slew and
looted the bodies of a wood elf outpost, with their
goods and a dozen horses being given to the elves in
recompense. The elves now know that Hendricks is a
man of his word, and his own men have a very healthy
respect for their smart and powerful leader.
Finally, this alliance has some magical strength at its
disposal. Elven mages and fighter-mages are not
generally of high level, but there are many of them, and
53
Hendricks brought two high-level specialists with him,
a Conjurer and an Invoker, both of whom provide
devastating magic strength in battle. The alliance of
elven scouts, spies and ambushers with human battle
and strike forces has proven very effective.
To date Hendrick is holed up in the forest harassing
Iuz’s forces to steal supplies and raw materials need to
maintain the forts. Supplies are always a constant
need. Food is now usually available due to the alliance
with the sylvan elves, however magical supplies and
complex weapons and armor are still in short supply.
Though his blacksmiths have improved in skill, they
still lack the skill and experience in working exotic
materials. Hendrick is a shrewd leader and knows that
the forest gives him a great deal of protection. His
forces only number around 1000 or less men and young
boys along with an additional 1000 or so women and
children. Though he will order strikes on Iuz’s supply
shipments he does little else to draw the ire of the Old
One. Having survived for a little more than ten years
now, his men are seasoned but he is not ready to throw
their lives away with out good cause. There are rumors
however that Hendrick has also become more paranoid
in his old age. How this will affect the forts or if it is
even true has yet to be seen.

Tangles Druids
While the cult of the Oerth Mother (Beory) no longer
dominates the entire Flanaess as it once did, the
traditions of her worship persist in the Tangles. The
present hierarchy of the Old Faith is built upon the
ancient religion of the druids, though deities in addition
to Beory are worshiped. Of course, other “nature”
religions exist outside the Old Faith, even different
branches of the druidic heritage, but few of these are
left in the Flanaess. The druids of the inner circles of
the Old Faith gain far more prestige and respect than
these other groups. Mistletoe, oak leaves, and holly
leaves are their common emblems.

cases, and typically avoid interaction with humanoids,
even with elves. These druids are completely
otherworldly, absorbed in nature with no interest in the
doings of orcs, humans, or elves, but they have a
treasury of oral folklore and history that is immense.
Also, they are rumored to know every magical site in
the Fellreev, but are not willing to speak of them
outside their circle.
Recently the druids have become more noticeable.
Unlike past years they have begun responding to
requests from initiates who wish to join them. Though
suspected of being xenophobic towards everyone, they
now seem to welcome all who hear the call of nature
and Obad-Hai. Many of the traditional Flan woodsmen
have joined their ranks, seeking shelter from the un-
natural forces in forest. Also angry voices can be heard
in the forest now. Some report that the voices are
calling for the Shalm to return the forest to its natural
state. Additionally, many living in the forest would
claim that the number of attacks by dire and feral
creatures has been on the rise.
These druids follow a different path than most, the
Hierarchy is as follows:
Cub
Beast
Dire Beast
Legendary Beast
Above these are a limited number of positions all of
which are believed to be held by the original members:
Terrors (nine members), the Dire Druids(nine
members), the Deadly Venoms (three members), and
the Avenging Forest (one person?). If there is any
hierarchy above this, it is a well guarded secret by the
Druids.
Cub of The Fellreev:
These are the lowest ranking members of the hierarchy.

Fanlareshen Sylvan Elves
(Fellreev'taure Lai'Quessir Noore)
Of all the sylvan elves living in the Fellreev, the most
organized are the elves living in the southern lands
between the Artonsamay and Cold Run. These elves
tend to be more aggressive than their western Fellreev
counterparts, with whom they have separated from and
resume very little contact. One family, House Ostorio,
has assumed leadership among them and formed Clan
Fanlareshen. Their diplomatic skills, strength, and
magical might helped them forge the alliance of the
Reyhu bandits and Fanlareshen elves. Since the
formation of the Reyhu-Fanlareshen alliance in 584
CY, the Fellreev Forest has strengthened as a center of
anti-Iuz resistance, though it is nowhere near the force
needed to free the forest and its surrounding lands from
the Old One’s evil grip.
History
Before the coming of the Old One, Clan Fanlareshen
wasn’t much of a sylvan elf clan. Families preferred to
be isolated from the other races and each other
cooperating only when necessary. They were absorbed
in their daily routines of hunting, fishing and gathering,
and the chosen craft of their artisan skills passed down
from generation to generation. All of that changed as
the Old One waged war across the Flanaess, sewing
chaos and destruction to their isolated world. Now the
elves had to band together to save their beloved forest
home.
The half-demon demi-god’s forces were ruthless. Bar-
igura were used as initial infiltration forces—spying,
scouting, and laying many devastating ambushes.
Chasme often flew into the Fellreev seeking an easy
meal. Undead lurched out of Fleischshriver and
slivered into the forest. The Free Reavers alliance with
the Old One led to numerous raids on those inhabiting
the Fellreev. Jebli orcs along with monstrous horrors
never seen before tore through the ancient trees with a
fire of destruction only envisioned in nightmares of
small children. The sylvan elves soon learned that they
were incapable of fending off these forces without
great loss. The elves began to fall to the opposition,
slaughtered by demonic forces, horrific monsters,
bloodthirsty orcs, ferocious hobgoblins, and life
draining undead. These losses instilled an
insurmountable hatred for all things allied with the Old
One. From that day forward the families that we know
as Clan Fanlareshen joined as one with one uniting
purpose—to drive the Old One’s forces from the
63
Fellreev and to make them feel the loss they had. The
elves fought endlessly to achieve their ambitious goal,
but it seemed with every victory came two defeats. But
a dim light began to shine in 538 CY with the arrival of
a bandit group lead by Skannar Hendricks.
Hendricks led a group of Reyhu bandits who were
seeking refuge in the Fellreev Forest. This rogue group
unfortunately met a great deal of hostility, but they
were able to handle their defeats. The reason for this
was that while the orcs they encountered were trying to
kill them, the elves they encountered had no desire to
take any more than the bandit’s supplies. Hendricks
took notice of their compassion and began to plot a
scheme to help himself with an alliance. This plan
would come to fruition when his men lost to the
Fanlareshen elves. Hendricks tried to negotiate with
the elves. Most of the families, preferring isolation,
were very uneasy with the human’s talk of alliance.
This presented an opportunity for the head of the
Ostorio family to take charge and increase his family’s
power of the clan. After the two negotiated, a tentative
truce was enacted, signed by both Skannar Hendricks
and Clanmaster Ostorio.
However, this alliance was still shaky because the elves
didn’t trust the humans and vice versa. As a move to
show a sign of good faith, Hendricks made a very
public proclamations of what penalties would befall
any of his men should they raise a hand against the
elves. Hendricks proved he was a man of his word late
in 583 CY. He instituted a swift execution to the group
who slew and looted the bodies of a wood elf outpost.
Not only did he punish those guilty, he gave their
goods and a dozen horses to the elves in recompense.
This instilled a stronger trust in the elves because
Hendricks was a man of his word and made good on
his proclamation. The alliance would be rooted in trust
and understanding. As a gesture of good faith on their
part, the elves allowed Hendricks’ men to build a
couple of strongholds in the Fellreev (that would latter
be named Fort Hendricks and Fort Scorn). Ostorio was
given the title of “High General” of all the eastern
sylvan Clans for the crucial role he played in
coordinating the alliance with Skannar Hendricks’
Reyhu bandits.
Time would lead to many benefits to be found on both
sides of the alliance. The elves have taught the bandits
skills of the forest—hunting, snaring, and how to
mount forest ambushes. The bandits brought
blacksmiths, two powerful specialist mages, and a good
stock of horses, which have been bred successfully at
11/22/2003
Fort Hendricks. These horses added not only to the
bandits’ defenses but also the elves that are often seen
galloping along the Fellreev margins. There's a mutual
admiration in combat skills as well. The bandits respect
the elves' agility, speed, strength, and stealth in the
forest, while the elves respect the bandits' hardiness,
ingenuity, passion to survive, and ability to use of a
wide array of weapons.
Though the last ten years have strengthened the skills
of the two groups, it has also weakened the ties
between them. Some elven families are discontented,
believing that the humans should be left to their own
devices and the elves to theirs. This discontent is
within the Rehyn men as well, though no man would
cross Hendricks. The same holds true for the elves that
fear Ostorio’s influence on the Clan. So both groups
bide their time until they have the power to overthrow
the current leaders.
The Clan’s current activities involve seeking
information about the Old One’s activities outside the
forest, to better prepare for trouble inside it. This quest
led to several members of the Clan being sent out of
the Fellreev to “recruit” non-Fanlareshen elves. In 592
CY, both high elves and grey elves were successfully
recruited by their sylvan brothers and in doing so have
been somewhat adopted into the Clan. This action has
strengthened the number and skills of the Clan, but in
the shadows there are those that distain this action but
nothing ever comes of it and to date the recruitment
effort still continues.
Activities
Forts Hendricks and Scorn are the major fortified
settlements of the Reyhu bandits, led by Skannar
Hendricks, and each fort also serves as a fortification
for some of Clan Fanlareshen. The forts originally
held some 400 bandits, together with around 50 horses,
and a couple of dozen chain-barded war dogs each, and
100-150 wood elves living in the village or in tree
houses around each as well. The settlements now
number about 500 bandits with 500 women and
children inhabiting each. The elf’s number has
remained fairly constant; only about 150-200 elves
now inhabit the surrounding tree houses. As per the
alliance, sylvan elf youth mentor young humans so that
they can become more in touch with the forest if they
so choose. This action has even led to a sparse few of
the Reyhu feeling the call of the wild in adulthood.
The forest heavily conceals both of these encampments
since the trees were thinned only enough to make space
for buildings. Despite this natural cover, the bandits
still camouflage the roofs of their wooden huts as a
64
further pre-caution. The two encampments each have a
forge, but they dare not light them unless a pall of mist,
common in fall or winter, hangs over the forest,
disguising the smoke from the fires. No one outside
the two groups knows how to get to the two
encampments and it isn’t unusual for someone seeking
Fort Hendricks or Fort Scorn to end up at an ambush
sites where elves and bandits lie in wait.
Outsiders are watched carefully. Any group with but a
single unknown humanoid amongst their number will
be attacked on sight. Surrendering is not an option if
they see their opponents serve the Old One. Fear of
torture and being magically compelled to betray their
fellows is incentive enough to fight to the death.
Human interlopers are given a chance to surrender
before killed. If they do so, captured humans are
blindfolded and escorted through the forest on a zigzag,
non-determinant path to the closest settlement, even if
only a small tree-house complex. A sign of good faith
must be given before the elves and bandits trust any
intruders into their lands. Prisoners who appear to be of
any note or worth will be taken to Fort Hendricks
immediately so Skannar can interrogate them
personally. All of these precautions are in place
because Iuz’s forces are never ending in their pursuit of
controlling the Fellreev Forest.
The elves and bandits are far from comfortable. In fact
they desperately need certain supplies, such as spell
components for more unusual spells, good iron for
weapons and armor, and well-crafted utensils. All these
are in short supply, despite trading with other
organizations and raiding Iuz's forces. The only
abundant resource is that of the forest, including
Darkwood and other rare forest materials. Clan
Fanlareshen have no blacksmiths trained to work with
metals save the few artisans who are experts at making
the often-admired traditional elven chain and elven
blades. Despite their lack of metallurgy, the Clan has a
large group of master craftsmen that make extensive
use of darkwood for shields, bucklers, bows, staves,
and other important wooden items such as elven
darkleaf and leafweave armor. The High General
himself goes to battle in a suit of Elven Darkleaf full
plate armor, which is as silent as a leaf falling in the
forest.
The Fellreev is not the most forgiving when it comes to
survival. The Clan wishes all members to be hardy and
adept at surviving alone in the forest. It is for this
reason that all elves that are recruited into the Clan
must first prove that they would not be a burden by
surviving in the forest for four days alone.
Consequentially this is the same ceremony that native
Fanlareshen elves go through upon reaching adulthood,
11/22/2003
and serves to let the Clan leaders know that the former
youth has now moved on into adulthood. Very rarely,
a family will adopt a recruit, but first they must
complete a special task dictated by that family’s leader.
If adopted, the former recruit is supposed to be treated
like any other Clan member. Few are given the
privilege of joining a family house, as an adopted
brother or sister, serving the Clan where their skills can
be best used. Those more diverse in experience and
seen as more valuable, often work with another family,
but never more than two and they must be wed into the
new family before they can be considered a member.
All recruits and adoptees spend a few weeks in the
Fellreev at the beginning of each year, training,
relaying important information from the outside,
bringing greatly needed supplies, and anything the
Clan request to aid in surviving the harsh winters.
When outside the forest, their duty is to serve as the
Clan’s eyes and ears uncovering any plots that may or
may not reach the homeland. A sylvan elf that tears
himself away from the forest to venture into the outside
world, often seeks knowledge, magic, and power to
help in the fight back home. But all Clan members
return to the forest intermittently throughout the year to
discuss strategies with Clan leaders, share news, mend
equipment, or to acquire an item only produced by the
sylvan armorers and artificers. These visits usually
never last more than a week or two.
The greatest asset the Clan has gathered from recruits
and adventuring members is a better understanding of
the various organizations that exist within the
Combination. Several of their members have been
given permission to join other organizations, so they
can secretly report back anything of interest that they
learn. The Rookroost Thief’s Guild is the organization
the Clan is most interested in for information and
potential trade agreements that hopefully will lead to
the fall of Iuz’s stronghold within the Fellreev.
Organization
The wood elves tend not to have large settlements,
instead preferring to live in simple wood-hut hamlets
or tree-house complexes inhabiting no more than 200
elves. These settlements will be dotted throughout
their territories. As is with all wood elves of the
Fellreev, the Clan is family-dominated. Precise rules
govern which families have a primary role within the
clan. Every family has at least one social role in which
they are accepted as mentors, trainers, and leaders. In
addition each usually reveres one or more patron elven
deities above others. The text that follows describes
the purpose and duty of the major Houses of Clan
Fanlareshen.
65
The dominant family in the Clan is House Ostorio,
headed by High General Ostorio himself. As such,
they lead the Arcane Blades, who report directly to the
Clanmaster. In addition, House Ostorio acts as
ambassadors for the Clan in all matters including major
interactions inside and outside the Clan. Ostorio has
also formed an exclusive taskforce comprising of the
strongest members of each House that complete special
missions only the High General is privy to know. The
High General has dictated that Rillifane Rallathil is the
patron deity of the Clan, so it is no surprise Rillifane
Rallathil is the patron deity of House Ostorio.
The next House is House Corisial, headed by the High
Priest Palarisin Corisial. Traditionally, house Corisial
leads the Oaken Copse, an organization of druids and
clerics. Palarisin worships Solonor Thelandria, the
elven god of archers and rangers. Palarisin is an
advisor to the High General in matters of a divine
nature and is revered by all as a devote priest. House
Corisial mainly consist of priests and quite a few that
heed the call of nature and join the druidic branch of
the Oaken Copse more in tune with the forest to the
benefit of the Clan. The preferred deity for House
Corisial is Solonor Thelandria, however; some family
members are called to serve Rillifane Rallathil or
Gadhelyn and a few serve Femarel Mestarine, patron
deity of outcast and isolation.
House Coreander leads the Guardians of the Clan
under the leadership of the gruff and ancient Pileosi
Coreander. The Guardians of the Clan are comprised
mainly of rangers but can include the odd stealthy
fighter. Often seen as wild and animal-like, House
Coreander members are responsible for the main
fighting the tribe does such as laying ambushes and
mounting tactical strikes. It isn’t unusual to see a
Guardian of the Clan being accompanied by a wolf of
badger on the trail. Their ties to the forest are often
close to that of druids. A huge specimen of a sylvan elf
in his prime, Pileosi is now content to train House
Coreander and advise the High General when his
wilderness expertise is required. No one knows the
eastern Fellreev as good as Pileosi, save perhaps the
oldest of the Initiates of the Fellreev. In fact it was he
who suggested the location to place the Reyhu’s two
forts. House Coreander serve the elven deity Gadhelyn
who symbolizes independence, outlawry, feasting, and
hunting.
House Wyndun, headed by the sly and affable Torren
Wyndun, controls the Outriders. Torren is a master at
concealing himself even within a few feet of an orc
patrol group. He tries to pass these skills on to the
Clan’s Outriders. These elite scouts are responsible for
11/22/2003
reporting the movements of outsiders within and on the
edge of the Fellreev. Torren is often asked of the
activities within the forest by the High General and his
reply is, “Same as always—teeming with signs of life
and light.” This is the same response heard if asked of
any Outrider. House Wyndum’s members often
worship Solonor Thelandria, though it is not unusual
for a member to worship Erevan Ileser, the god of
elven rogues.
Clan Recruit
Recenty House Ostorio has pushed to allow for non-
sylvan elves to be allowed to join the Clan. These
elves have proved useful to the House in maintaining
its superiority, despite the complaints of other houses
that the bloodlines are being thinned and the Clan is
weakened by the outsiders. Often these Recruits
become full members of the Clan, by order of House
Ostorio.

Johrase Mercenaries
History
The Kingdom of Johrase was founded in 324 CY when
an heir to the Aerdy Rax dynasty, Andrellus, came to
the region and imposed his will on the peoples there.
With him he brought the trappings and customs of the
Aerdy, creating his own Great Kingdom in miniature.
Andrellus was of course the king, various minor nobles
that made the trip with him became his court, and the
native Flan peoples became the commoners. While this
system lasted for a time, civil unrest as well as the
nobility breeding with the local Flan, saw an increase
of violence and reverence for strength as the Flannish
culture began to take over. Eventually, the Flannish
warrior culture prevailed, and the throne of Johrase was
now held by the most powerful warrior, regardless of
caste or race. The king could be challenged at any time,
with the victor taking the throne. However, this did not
do away with the importance of the Rax nobles. While
the strongest warrior figuratively controlled the throne, improve their already impressive martial skills for their

endear themselves to the anti-Iuz factions in the
Combination. Important People
The five mercenary lords that currently control the
Activities resources of the mercenaries are of primary interest.
They are listed in order of prestige:
The people of the Kingdom of Johrase have not taken
their defeat at the hands of Iuz lightly. They are a Lord Forlone Malchat - Was said to have been the
displaced people whose only goal is to regain their kings personal advisor before the coming of the old
homeland. To this end the Johrase have taken to the one. Malchat now heads the loosely knight mercenary
mercenary life for two reasons. One, to continue to organization. To all outward appereances Forlone has

made peace with the foul God, or at least his minions.
Malchat has been strengthening his ties with Cranzer
and Zeech. Many find the “business move”
unthinkable, even for the profitable mercantile
purposes. Nevertheless, he has sizable holding south of
Rookroost, and has been seen strolling Cranzer’s estate
on more than one occasion.
Lord Calmert Hind – If Forlone is the diplomat and
leader of the Mercanary lords then Lord Hind is their
Sword arm. Calmert is silent and honorable man. He
speaks no foul word against another Johrase. He uses
his mercenary company to further the goals of the dead
empire. Calmert and Forlone are fast friends and
Calmert has come to other mercenaries lord’s aid on
several occasions in the past decade.
Calmert has a deep hate for all associated with Iuz.
While he does not openly decent with his friend and
leader, Malchat, his hate for the Old One’s minions is
barely contained in any interaction with them.
Lady Dania Odrean – The lady maintains a low
profile, but she is know to have holdings on northeast
corner of the Rift Crag. How many Johrase that report
to her is unknown.
Viscount Jorn Brerse – In the works
The last member is dead, his holdings and
responsibilities are in the custody of Forlone Malchat
until a replacement can be judged by mounted combat
Recent Events
Rumors currently have Cranzer in heavy negotiation
with Lord Malchat involving a large contract.
Reactions to Other Groups
The Johrase Mercenaries strive to maintain a neutral
relationship with all factions in the Bandit Kingdoms,
having said that there are a few minor annoyances and
alliances worth noting:
The Johrase Mercenaries do not deal kindly with
Thieves or their guild. They lack the most basic
understanding of honor and business. The Gonagin
tribe falls into this same category, as all of those dirty
little beggars are thieves too.
The Johrase have begrudging respect for the Dazark
Orcs and will avoid work that takes them into the orc’s
lands.
The Johrase find the Fanlareshen elves to be a pathetic
group, hiding in there forests. The Johrase have
71
accepted several missions from Cranzer that have
encroached on this group. The Johrase insist “Its just
business”. This has caused more than a little animosity
between the elves and mercenaries.

Special Groups
Death Cultist
Touched by the hand of the Reaper, there are those
who live within the Bandit Kingdoms who call out to
the Lord of Death in the night. Although many turn to
evil, there are a rare few who refuse the darkest calling
and simply seek to ensure that the Bringer of Darkness
is paid his due.
Note: This meta organization does not negate the
Living Greyhawk campaign restrictions on a
character’s alignment or what deity’s clerics may
worship. Be aware that Death Cultists walk on the
edge of a scythe’s blade and it is a short fall into
darkness.

• Must sacrifice 500gp of rare herbs and
materials each year in order to appease Nerull.

Scion of Kyuss
The Wormcrawl Fissure has long been avoided by
sensible beings of all races. The foul creations of
Kyuss continue to dominate the darkest recesses of the
crevice, but too often the fissure boils over and strange
beings not of this world pour out onto the plains.
Warlocks seeking to unlock the necromancer’s secrets
have begun to gather around the Wormcrawl, using
their rituals to call upon the dark realms that powered
many of Kyuss’ greatest feats of magic. Other, more
foolish wizards are drawn to the fissure after
encountering a beast from beyond imagining and find
themselves calling into the darkness and receiving an
answer they never desired or expected...

Prestige Class Access
Characters adventuring within the former Combination
of Free Lords have the opportunity to study alongside
bandit kings and scholars of arcane power.
Regional Rulings
Several Core and Adaptable prestige classes (as
defined in the LGCS) have pre-requisites that require
special attention. The following guidelines spell out
how the Bandit Kingdoms regional triad interprets
these requirements and how the character may meet the
prerequisites. Unless printed on an Adventure Record
these are the only ways a character may qualify for
these classes in the Bandit Kingdoms. It should be
noted that these rules do not prevent the PC from
obtaining the pre-requisites while out of region.
Optimally the player should have some form of
campaign documentation (ARs are the most common
form) showing they have met the requirements. The
method of qualification should also be noted the PC’s
Meta-Campaign Log.
Core
Consecrated Harrier:
Candidate must accept an assignment from her church
to locate and destroy some specific, individual enemy
of the church.
This prerequisite can be met by belonging to one of
several meta organizations within the Bandit
Kingdoms.
Contemplative:
Must have had direct contact with one’s patron deity or
a direct servant of that deity, or with an enlightened
being embodying the highest principals of an
alignment.
This prerequisite must be met through peaceful contact
with a non-summoned extra-planar being of the same
alignment as the character. This contact must be
documented on an Adventure Record or the player may
request a special mission to receive regional
documentation.
Sacred Exorcist:
Adopting this prestige class requires the sanction of a
church or order that ordains sacred exorcists. Only
characters judged by their church to be exemplary in
faith and devotion, strong of will and upright in
morality, are made sacred exorcists.
83
Bandit Kingdoms regional characters may use any
influence with a church that follows the same deity as
the character as documentation that the church has
sanctioned the character. This use of influence should
be noted on the character’s Metacampaign Record by a
judge.
If the character does not have influence with the
church, they must request and complete a special
mission to be sanctioned by the church.
Elemental Savant:
The elemental savant must have made prior peaceful
contact with an elemental or with an outsider having an
elemental subtype (Air, Earth, Fire, or Water).
This contact must be documented on an Adventure
Record or the player may request a special mission to
receive regional documentation.
Fatespinner:
The fatespinner must have avoided death (or severe
calamity) by the machinations of fate. For instance, if
he misses a ferry crossing to the nearby Isle of Sadonne
due to a strange premonition that caused him to tarry
overlong at the landing, and learns that the ferry was
lost with all aboard to a sudden storm, it can be said
that fate has spared him.
Bandit Kingdoms regional characters may be saved by
fate during any scenario. If the judge decides that the
character was touched by fate, they may record the
details of the event on the characters Metacampaign
Record.
Spellsword:
Must have defeated a foe through force of arms alone,
without recourse to spellcasting or special class skills.
Bandit Kingdoms regional characters that face a
creature in single melee combat may record the event
on their Metacampaign Record. (Note: it isn’t a melee
if the opponent isn’t participating, i.e. sleeping).
Dungeon Delver:
To become a dungeon delver, a character must first
survive a great trial underground. This usually takes
one of three forms:
• A solo dungeon expedition that earns a
character one half the experience points
needed for advancement to the next level.
11/22/2003
 The character must complete the adventure in
one week, though he may leave the dungeon
and return as often as desired during that time.
• Survival of a cave-in or other collapse.
• Living for a year without seeing the light of
the sun, usually among underground denizens
such as deep dwarves or drow.
In Living Greyhawk, it is impossible to fulfill the
requirements of the first trial. If the character
participates in a scenario that features a cave-in or
collapse, the judge can note it in the play notes for the
scenario as well as the character’s Metacampaign
Record.
The third trial can be undertaken as a special mission
that will keep the character out of play for 52 TU.
influence points for this purpose should be noted on the
Metacampaign Record.
Thief-Acrobat:
Be a member in good standing with the local thieves’
guild.
For Bandit Kingdoms regional characters, the character
must be a member of the Rookroost Thieves Guild.
Forsaker:
The character must once been the victim of a magical
attack that seriously wounded him or threatened his
life. He must also sell or give away all his magic items
(including magic weapons, armor, and potions) and
renounce the use of any spell casting and spell-like
abilities he previously used.

Adaptable prestige classes require regional or campaign documentation to advance in. Characters possessing
levels in Adaptable prestige classes prior to August 1st, 2003 may retain levels already taken (noting the levels
on their Metacampaign Record and having it signed off by a judge), but will require campaign documentation to
advance further within that class.

this may occur, such as turning from one good or

• Changing deities does not impact Paladins,

Rangers or Druids. The new deity should be
appropriate for the class.
• Clerics become ex-clerics following all the

• Any characters with divine prestige classes
lose access to all abilities related to the class
except for weapon, armor and shield
proficiencies.
• This status must be retained for at least two
adventures.

Special Missions
Special missions allow players to engage in an
activity of their choosing that is important to their
character. These events are requested by the player
and then approved by the BK Triad. A special
mission typically include gathering the remains of a
friend for a proper burial, accomplishing some
character goal, gain access to some elite organization,
or to gain access to rare spells and / or feats. Special
missions are not for destroying major villains or
NPC’s, modifying plot lines, or acquiring access to
items.
Here are the steps for requesting a special mission
1) The player / players must decide on what
they wish to accomplish in the mission.
2) The player / players must decide on who
will playing in the special mission (Note:
Any given PLAYER (not character) can
only participate in one special mission per
calendar year.)
3) Fill out the form at: http://www.bandit-
kingdoms.net/Form_SpecialMissionReq.htm
4) The Triad will look over the request, and get
back with the player / players.
5) The Triad may ask for someone to write the
special mission, or the Triad will write the
special mission.
6) The player / players must find a place to
have run the special mission. The BK Triad
has decided that it is better that all special
missions should be held at either a game day
or a convention. It will be up to the player /
players to inform their local game day or
convention coordinator to set up a time for
the special mission. The local game day or
convention coordinator will contact the
Triad with any questions that they have
about the special mission, and to inform the
Triad of the time and place of the special
mission.

86 11/22/2003
Notes:
v Special missions cost a minimum of 1 TU
for all characters involved.
v For each TU spent on the special mission,
the characters may earn up to one half the
GP and XP that they would for a standard
sanctioned event.
v In most cases, one of the Triad must be
present at a special mission. The Triad will
be the one to look over the special mission
AR, and sign it.
v A special mission cannot be run to recover a
body so that a character may be brought
back from death. All deaths must be
resolved at the table, in the manner specified
by the LGCS.
