Adventuring bands of Teiglin

Adventurers have a mixed reputation in Teiglin. On the one hand they can be mighty heroes, defeating foul evil creatures that armies of normal soldiers could not stand against. On the other hand, they can be cynical, casually violent, headstrong, arrogant and sometimes outright criminal in their behavior. If the captain of the town guard asks a warrior to deal with an ogre or hellhound that the guard are terrified of, and he defeats that monster, do you really think he's going to be respectful of the captain when warned about not starting tavern brawls or told he should be paying taxes?

Adventurers tend to be motivated by three things - money, fame and magic items - and will gravitate to where these things are found. The most profitable place for adventurers, and happily the area where civilised folk need them the most, is the borderlands in between the current Kingdom of Teiglin and the ruined city of Erkhart. Here the army of Teiglin needs all the help it can get fending off the hordes of Chaos, while the ruins provide plenty of gold for looting and the occasional magic item. Mighty reputations can be forged in the fires of battle against the foes of humanity, and those who fight long and hard and survive to tell their tales (only slightly exaggerated!) may be offered a piece of land as way of thanks. This land is usually on the borderland, and the newly appointed lord has his work cut out for him.

Duty, honour and justice should not be forgotten. Some adventurers, particularly those of lawful alignment, fight the good fight because it is the right thing to do. For them, fame and fortune and cool magic items are merely additional benefits. Such noble heroes are very popular, and are more likely to build friendships and alliances with local rulers and people.


Glensor, Bauglir and Luthien are the three principle baronies where adventurers assemble, ready for expeditions into the borderlands. Castellan Keep, also known as the Keep on the Borderlands, is a classic starting place for adventurers, though Firebright Keep and the villages of Parnsus in Bauglir and Iridell in Glensor often have one or two bands of adventurers resting or preparing between forays.

There are no specific laws or regulations for the formation or maintainance of bands of adventurers but the local law will keep a close eye on them until they have earned some trust.

Notable bands include:

Erbick's Treasurefinders - an adventuring party that has roamed all over Teiglin looking for ruins to plunder. They do not intentionally get into trouble with the law, but neither are they heroic protectors of the innocent. They are currently planning an expedition into Erkhart, not to close the dreaded Chaos Portal but to loot the bank in the ruined city.
