The Red Bandits

The Red Bandits are a thieves guild in hiding deep within the Red Woods. Their leader is Reydal Whisperwind.

History
After Reydal's exile from the Sun Guard, he spent time allying himself with various thieves guilds and gangs, using his wit and natural leadership to take control and combine them all into one force. The Red Bandits originally operated within the city of Kathara under the name Unforgiven Rangers, however as the Katharan government began to side with some groups in order to give the false impression of curbed violence within the city, Reydal was so upset by the idea that he took his men into the sacred Red Woods, negotiating with the priests there to make their own isolated fort away from all other civilization, and began calling themselves the Red Bandits. From there, The Red Bandits primarily stuck to attacking the roads between Kathara and Enthia.

Tactics
Whereas most other thieves guilds have history with violence and extortion, The Red Bandits have primarily worked in guile and cunning. A standard Red Bandit raid will consist of either a false offer of protection or sucking up to a seemingly easily deceptible target to get offered high level access to the caravan, then stealing the goods that way. despite their peaceful tactics however, The Red Bandits are still highly skilled in the art of combat.

Role in Guardians of Enthia
The Red Bandits are the first group to join the Guardians of Enthia under their leader Reydal Whisperwind. After the death of Reydal in a battle with the Orcish Horde, the rest are fully folded into the Guardians under the leader Alatricia.
