Structure

Commanded by a leader who makes most of the major decisions, this bandit group is also slightly subordinate to their parent bands in Schinter. This leader makes the major decisions in consultation with these other leaders, but has a large amount of leeway.

Public Agenda

Beyond the thrill of robbery and pillaging, they don’t have many larger goals. They take a lot of their orders from the bandits of Schinter, who may have larger-scale motives beyond petty theft and kidnappings.

Assets

This group has a lot of heft with many nearby towns, whose citizens have been bought off to not report crimes to the Imperial Army. They also have previously mentioned connections to powerful people in Schinter should anything befall their base.

History

When the power of the Men of the Frost began to make its way east to Gratica, Meti Aslingar was placed as the head of the local chapter of bandits under the control of the aforementioned band’s leader. He then began capturing nobles and rich folk travelling the roads to Freeport and Anotaash, until the band’s defeat at the hands of the Drakeslayers.

Disbandment

After being defeated by and hvaing their primary source of cash flow stolen by the Drakeslayers, the group were quickly discovered and captured by the Imperial Army
