Brief History

 

Following the discontinuation and scattering of many prestigious bandit lords and brigands, a host of houses once belonging to Lord Augustus Flay merged under one banner and inhabited the ruins of Old Fenn. Their outlaw refugee was soon christened ‘the Dreadlands’, as bandits seeking refuge in the City would prey on the roads. Like a vulture to cadaver, brigands flocked to these lands for riches and glory under the exalted Ex-Dunamis Marshal Danis Revlis, now named Danis Silverblade. Followers of the Church of Saint Augustus would establish a church in their seat of Exul, openly praying to their late Lord. Romstun Skengmen returned to their old ways and joined in forces with Danis in order to instill the fear they once did.

 

Culture

 

The Dreadlands are a haven for bandits and exiles, choosing to live under the protection of a united army of cutthroats. Whilst there is no official laws there is however a code of honour set by the Prince. All citizens living under the roof of the Prince are obliged to uphold and preserve the honour code. They have the mere task of dealing with fools who might disgrace it.

 

 

I. Every man shall obey civil command; the Prince shall have one full share and a half of all prizes.

II. If any man shall offer to run away, or keep any secret from the Dreadlands, he shall be bound and thrown into a pit of snakes.

III. If any man shall steal any thing in the Dreadlands, or game, to the value of 500 minas he shall be banished or thrown into a pit of snakes.

IV. That man that shall refuse or disobey command, shall receive Princes’ Law (that is, the branding of the flayed man) on the left side of his neck.

V. That man that shall attack or betray his brothers, shall be put to death, flayed alive then drawn and quartered.

VI. Should a man not keep his weapons clean and, fit for an engagement, or neglect his business, shall be cut off from his share, and suffer such other punishment as the Prince thinks fit.

VII. If any man shall lose a joint in time of an engagement, shall have 400 minas ; if a limb, 800 minas.

 

 

Heirlooms

 

Blessed Plate of St. Augustus

 

The last known set of blessed plate forged during the days of Athera and worn by the followers of Saint Augustus, Croesus Letholdus now wears this hallowed suit of armor. Said to be the toughest armor ever worn, it emits a dull red glow and is christened by many war scars.

 

The Dread Crown

 

The Dread Crown was an item held by Ex-Blackmont Sergeant Xander Romstun. It was passed over to Danis Silverblade and once told to have been worn by Augustus in the battle of the Dreadfort. This crown is passed on to whomever the next ruler of the Dreadlands, it is not always passed down through a bloodline, it’s the choice of the previous crowned ruler to determine the next ruler, whether it be one of his blood or a new worthy Outlaw.

 

Chivay Shoulder Crusher

 

A warhammer once wielded by the powerful and prestigious brigand James Romstun. Infamous for his heel spinning fighting stance, perfecting the ancient technique “The Chuckaboo Whirlwind”. This warhammer was used in many battles and once said to have crushed the shoulder of Robert Chivay. Now belongs to Porky Romstun.

 

The Grand Wizord’s Staff

 

A intricate carved oak staff once owned by Blindo the Wizord, now under the possession of

Benedict Chapman. Carved into the side of the staff is the phrase, “Get captoed”.

 

The Dunamian Digger

 

The Dunamian Digger, the heavy carbarum spade smithed by Reign Silverblade for only one purpose. To kill and then burry all the enemies of his family. Was used during the Siege of Dunamis Fort by Richard Revlis. Now it is held by Danis Silverblade, making sure that the weapon is still used to protect the family.

*Rhaenar nods in approval* "Good."

[Imam Faiz Kharadeen 3167]

Faiz Kharadeen nods in approval "Danis shall be a great leader, just like his father before him. I had never known Revlis was an alias for Silverblade, quite interesting. May they live to their gifted greatness for years to come." Faiz retires soon after to the masjid to pray.

[Ioannis 1480]

Reign Silverblade walks among the streets, watching as the men carrying loot. "Well, time to smith more weapons and get them some decent horses. Cant be lazy now." he says with a smile and stands up.

Osiris leans back on his mat, reviewing the scribbled parchment of news sent to him by a courier. The soft candlelight flickers ominously, casting shadows over the letter and his troubled face. He sets the letter aside, leaning forward to ponder what this would mean for Oren, and eventually, the world. Very soon, the Azghari man would be scribbling notes onto a sheet of goatskin.

Quinn Falk scratches his chin, eying his Vladov tabard and then looking to the bartender he was talking to. "So y'said these sons of ******* are in Old Fenn?"

[Harri 4815]

A Ruthern nods.

[Destroyer_Bravo 1054]

Lysio Hestonnis marks down the existence of these "Dreadlands" for himself, in case such a flight is required. Not to mention, the idea sounds kind of cool.
