The Rovers

When the Kingdom of Velant formed in 677 3A, a number of the natives of Southern Solanus did not wish to be inducted into an organized monarchy, believing it would be just as limiting and controlling as the Oreion Inquisition was to nomadic peoples and magic practioners in the north. Settling first amongst the large Emerald Woods in North-Eastern Velant, the technical rebels became known as the Rovers, living off the land as druids and rangers. Though religious and cultural tensions periodically arose between the Kingdom of Velant and the Rovers, relative peace has been achieved between the two groups for 300 years, as both the state and nomads generally leave each other be or choose to settle disputes diplomatically with no conflict. A major conflict greatly damaged the relationship between the two parties with the Green War in 997 3A, with The Justicars and The Auric Wings of Velant being ordered to assist The Veiled Hand of Oreion in a conflict against the Rovers. Relations have improved significantly between the Kingdom and the Rovers as of 1007 3A. The Rovers were one of the main groups that helped Velant become free of The Holy Light's control over them, and offered a great amount of aid to the scattered subjects of the kingdom. There are even rumors that King Galvus Solidor II wishes to section off a section of the kingdom as protected land exlusively for the Rovers.
