Outlaws

Outlaws are the bandits scattered across the island of Khorinis. They are not part of the Valley of Mines proper, but they haunt the parts of the island that sit outside the Barrier and are part of why the Crown's hold on Khorinis is slipping.

Where They Come From

The outlaw problem is a knock-on effect of the Colony's collapse. As convicts escape or are released, as mercenary work dries up, and as the Kingdom of Myrtana grows ever more strained by the Orc war, more and more armed men end up living outside of any lawful camp. They gather into bandit groups in the wilderness of Khorinis and prey on travellers, merchants, and isolated farmsteads.

Role in the Campaign

Outlaws appear as wilderness enemies outside the main three-camp settlements. For the Nameless Hero, they are a reminder that the Colony's politics are only part of a bigger collapse. The Crown's problems do not stop at the Barrier; they go in every direction.
