Outlaws



==The Badlands and the Magical Isles: Home to Roawia's Outlaws  ==  FACTION INFO

In times past, the Outlaws have not been a united faction but consisted of anyone not part of any of the three Provinces.



Currently, under the leadership of Queen Galainir, some Outlaws are subject to her authority (probably for their own personal benefit) while others could care less of her throne. They will do what they want and bow their knee to no one.



The Outlaw faction as a whole, consists of; city states whom follow the leading of Queen Galainir, various clans and tribes of thieves, bandits, rebels and other outcasts as well as individuals who have been exiled for openly practicing magic. Some of these individuals were exiled for the wrong reasons, and even now seek to return to their homeland and be accepted again.



The Outlaws are found all over Roawia and come from many different races, but the majority of them gather in the unclaimed southern lands and islands, especially the mountain area called The Shade and the Magic Island in the east sea. However, they are not bound to these two locations alone.

As a matter of fact, the badlands and magical isles offer a large variety of environmental settings, each with its own unique flavor.

<p align="left" style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

Only those who are familiar with the area could ever hope to navigate it. Deep within the heart of these mountains and valley's, lies the Outlaw capital, "the Shade."

<p align="left" style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

Dingewood's location is surrounding by natural forests and some manner of mountains as well, sitting on the coast all the while.

<p align="left" style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

Within these swamps, lay all manner of creatures and humanoids.

<p align="left" style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

On this island are some of the nation's finest beaches; one of Roawia's best kept secrets!

<p align="left" style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

It is hear Karain's Rampart sits, though currently uninhabited.

LEADERSHIP

<p align="left" style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

While Queen Galainir is the "unofficial" ruler of the Outlaws, (by virtue of her ruling Roawia as Queen) not all Outlaws recognize her as their leader. As a matter of fact, many Outlaws would not follow any leader. The majority of Outlaws, though, do claim her as Queen and ruler. However it was not always the case.

<p align="left" style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

As individuals began to be exiled for practicing magic and thievery, they wondered Roawia with no place to call a home.

<p style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

These legends say the badlands were under the ownership of Karain the Shadow a mysterious and dark being. Karain allowed the outcasts to settle in the badlands if they would submit to his rule. Over time, as more outlaws came and their families grew, some began to doubt the tales and even doubted the existence of Karain for he never left his fortress and no one had seen him in living memory.

<p style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

Once Galainir became queen, her most trusted advisor and sorcerer, Maldrake the silent, was sent to the fortress known as Karain's Rampart. Karain would bend his knee to the new queen or Maldrake would force him to. When Maldrak arrived to the fortress it was empty. Are these tales regarding Karain any more than myths, or has he stepped away from Roawia, biding his time? Of the answers... no one knows.

<p style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

She will use whatever method necessary to hold power and rule Roawia as its rightful Queen. Persecution, tortue, and even death are means she will use to keep her powerful reign in check. She is bold, she is ruthless and she is hated by most of Roawia.

They include (but are most certainly not limited to), humanoids, such as the fierce bear claw clan warriors in the middle picture below. Deviously cunning werewolves, hordes and tribes of gruesome goblins and trolls and various races as well. The undesirable and strange creatures of Roawia have found themselves flocking to the badlands where they will be accepted. There are no small amount of dwarves as well, although their greatest concentration does in fact, lay in Garheim.

<p style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">These can be varied as well. Queen Galainir currently commands the largest force of soldiers in the badlands. They are varied in their specialties and skills. The goblins, as dim-witted and foolish as they are, can be organized into various tribes as well, being wild and reckless warriors who often throw away their life at no care. They feel little pain and tend to be clannish. In few numbers, they are weak, but in a large force, one should be wary. Large droves of skeletal hordes commanded by magically inclined madmen are said to gather in the badlands as well.

<p style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">The culture of Outlaws, like the Outlaws in general, varies from region to region. There are (unbelievably) honest Outlaws looking to just get by. There are those who are seeking to gain wealth and fortune and build up their treasure piles in secret caves, away from the modern world. While most Outlaws are independent, when working together, they make a formidable force. As undesirables and unwanteds, they know how to survive, arguably, better than any other faction in Roawia.

<p style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">They make excellent trackers due to their awareness. Their faction sports some of the most skilled thieves and masters of assassins and stealth. While they are not the most skilled of fighters and warriors, they believe in "strength and number." Outlaws often seek to overwhelm their opponents with sheer volume of crude, nasty weapons.

<p style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

In most fair fights, an Outlaw won't win. It is for precisely this reason, they won't give you a fair fight. They will cheat, steal, lie, and bully to get their way. It is the only thing they have known. They harness their rage and passion for war to deal tremendous damage.

<p style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">And of course, many Outlaws were once exiled for their involvement in the forbidden magics. As a result, there are many who practice magic, wild and unchecked, in the darker parts of the world.

<p style="max-height:1000000px;word-wrap:break-word;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;outline:0px;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;line-height:16px;">

You will also notice the dark Outlaw lord in his secret dwelling, embracing the magics that once had him exiled. These are all reflective of the unique culture the Outlaws embrace. Finally, notice the sly wolf looking to make a pretty coin on advertising all the "good things" you can do in the badlands.
