Black Thorn Bandits - Freeband

The Black Thorn is the first expansion of what the Black Rose of the Arlian considers her Dark Syndicate. The Black Thorn is a group of bandits as deadly as that of the Black Rose but operating in southern Haradel and northern Thormenal. Erolis selected her right hand man, Okuvan, to lead this group and extend her villainous network further across Faelon.   Okuvan built his band understanding the different nature of his operating area and the forces he might face. The power of Illusion is available to cloak his thieves and confuse his opponents. He filled the role of second in command with a fellow Thormenalan skilled in the profession of bodyguard, deadly with a greatsword. The new bandit leader is lucky to have a reliable veteran mercenary among his colleagues, able to provide hard earned military knowledge to their missions. Finally, to fill out his crew, he invited two travelers from the north, an unlikely pair of friends who can cross swords and brawl with the best of any city’s taverns.   Faction Assembly Rule: Must be led by the Black Thorn. May Take any Hero or Follower from either the Black Rose or Black Thorn, except for the Enchantress and Duelist. May not have more than one of any type of Hero, except the Highwayman.   Scoundrels & Villains. In a freeband led by the Black Rose, faction Heroes, with the exception of the Duelist, do not need to obey the Hero’s Honor rule.
